RÉSUMÉ

Skin-friction drag reduction effect by polymer additives in a turbulent channel flow is investigated by means of PIV and LIF measurement. We employed a fluorescentl labeled polymer in order to capture the polymer behavior in the flow. As a preliminary experiment, the fluorescentl labeled polymer is visualized in the rotating flow and compared with the dyed polymer. The fluorescentl labeled polymer shows to form a thread-like structure for longer time than the dyed polymer. The PIV measurement of the turbulent channel flow with the dyed polymer shows the decrease of the Reynolds shear stress, which implies the skin-friction drag reduction.
