Abstract: Abstract We study the ability of diutan gum (DG), a polysaccharide that belongs to a class called sphingans, to improve drag reduction (DR) in turbulent flows. This new drag reducer is very stable. Its efficiency… read more here.

Abstract: Many studies have focused on the drag reduction performance of slick-water, but the microdrag reduction mechanism remains unclear since the microstructure of the drag reducer and its effect on this mechanism have not been well… read more here.
