The Effect of HTAC Addition on the Efficiency of PEO in Turbulent Flow

Objectives: Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) is one of the most effective drag reduction additives. However, it limits and degrades under high share stress. The improvement of its Drag Reduction (DR) efficiency and degradation resistant with the addition of cationic surfactant was investigated. Methods/Stat...
