Effects of polymer addition on transition and length scales of flow structures in transitional channel flow

The effect of polymer addition on transition to turbulence in a two-dimensional water-flow channel was experimentally investigated by flow visualization using reflective flakes. The flow entering the channel test section maintains a high disturbance level by expanding laterally after reaching a high...
