Reynolds-Averaged Simulation of Drag Reduction in Viscoelastic Pipe Flow with a Fixed Mass Flow Rate

A high molecular polymer solution with viscoelasticity has the effect of reducing frictional drag, which is quite practical for energy saving. Effective simulations of viscoelastic flows in a pipeline with a high Reynolds number is realized by incorporating the constitutive equation of viscoelastici...
