As widely known, the addition of a specific type of surfactant to water reduces drag in a pipe flow. This effect is considered to be a result of the suppression of turbulent transition caused by the ordered structure of rod-like micelles that is referred to as a shear-induced structure (SIS). However, it is typically difficult to determine the SIS since it is necessary to noninvasively detect the SIS with several hundred nanometers in the actual moving flow. In this study, we used the fluorescence probe method to locally determine the SIS in a pipe flow. When hydrophobic fluorescence molecules are added to the surfactant solution, the fluorescence molecules are trapped in micelles. Thus, fluorescence intensity varies based on the change in the micellar structure. We verified the applicability of the fluorescence probe method to the SIS detection and determined the relationship between the micellar structure and the drag reduction in the pipe flow by simultaneously measuring the fluorescence intensity and ...
