Summary: | Investigations into frictional resistance reduction by microbubbles were carried out using a two-dimensional channel. The flow velocity and the amount of air injected were varied, and the frictional resistance reduction was measured. The frictional resistance reduction increased with increasing mean void ratio. When the bubble diameter was changed, the influence on frictional resistance reduction was negligible. The influence of bubble distribution near a wall was also investigated. Although it is thought that the influence of microbubbles near a wall is large, further investigations are required.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
