Research shows blended polymers improve drag reduction in turbulent flow, suggesting practical applications.
Polymeric drag‐reducing agents (DRAs) are known for their ability to reduce drag in turbulent flow, offering cost‐effective alternative. However, DRAs face chain degradation under high shear forces. Blended polymeric DRAs shown greater resistance to shear forces in turbulent flow compared to single polymers. Research indicates that combining polymers enhance their properties. These findings suggest blended polymeric DRAs are practical and versatile drag reduction. Thus, this study summarizes research on polymer blends, including the synergistic effects and theirability to withstand high shear forces.
