Flexible Turbulence Absorbers for Enhancing the Liquid Flow in Pipelines

In the present work, an additive-free new technique for enhancing the flow in pipelines is introduced. Such technique depends on inserting Turbulence Altering Pseudo-Surface, TAPS with certain dimensions inside the pipe (adjacent to the inner wall). Such technique is meant to simulate the viscoelast...
