Friction reducers (FRs) play a vital role in large-displacement shale hydraulic fracturing. This
paper reviews the drag reduction (DR) mechanism of FRs, its development and application …

Drag reduction plays an important role in improving the efficiency of fluid transport and
reducing the energy consumption of transport vehicles. The essential feature of bubble …

Drag reduction phenomenon in pipelines has received lots of attention during the past
decades due to its potential engineering applications, especially in fluid transporting …

Drag reducers (DRs) have a significant effect on shale hydraulic fracturing. Hence, it is very
essential to develop excellent DRs for engineering applications. In this work, a novel …

The present study focuses on the behaviour of fully resolved oblate spheroids in turbulent
channel flows using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Mean and maximum drag …

The effects of drag-reducing polymers on the flow patterns, pressure gradients, and drag-
reducing rates of oil–water two-phase flows were investigated using a horizontal acrylic pipe …

This study focuses on the parametrical investigation and comparison of different non-
Newtonian effects due to polymer/surfactant additives on the flow structure around a circular …

This paper reports experimental results for fluid flow and mass transfer of sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution in wavy-walled tubes under both steady and …

In this paper, a slick water drag reducer with excellent drag reduction and a simple
molecular structure, called QIE-0, was prepared by inverse emulsion copolymerization. QIE …

Drag-reducing polymers (DRPs) can significantly improve blood circulation when added to
blood at a nanomolar concentration, manifesting great potential for application in the …
