This book presents several new findings in the field of turbulent
duct flows, which are important for a range of industrial
applications. It presents both high-quality experiments and
cutting-edge numerical simulations, providing a level of insight
and rigour rarely found in PhD theses. The scientific advancements
concern the effect of the Earth's rotation on large duct flows, the
experimental confirmation of marginal turbulence in a
pressure-driven square duct flow (previously only predicted in
simulations), the identification of similar marginal turbulence in
wall-driven flows using simulations (for the first time by any
means) and, on a separate but related topic, a comprehensive
experimental study on the phenomenon of drag reduction via polymer
additives in turbulent duct flows. In turn, the work on drag
reduction resulted in a correlation that provides a quantitative
prediction of drag reduction based on a single, measurable material
property of the polymer solution, regardless of the flow geometry
or concentration. The first correlation of its kind, it represents
an important advancement from both a scientific and practical
perspective.
