About this document
Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Fully Developed Turbulent Flows by Rafael Cordebela Salgado is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis presents a numerical study on drag reduction in fully developed turbulent flows using both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in cylindrical geometries. It proposes a reliable Reynolds-averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach to estimate polymer-induced drag reduction, validating the results against experimental data. The findings enhance understanding of the behavior of polymers in turbulent flows, potentially informing broader applications in complex geometries.
