Investigation of Turbulent Flows of Complex Fluids

abstractcts - 9981388 a。牛顿流体中的聚合物添加剂被公认为是壁面受限流动中的减阻剂。PI提出了新的研究，以更好地阐明这一现象的机制基础。同行的评论虽然总体上是积极的，但表明研究计划存在实质性的局限性。因此，它已被选出提供一年的过渡性赠款，以便取得初步成果。预期将会产生一项改进的经常经费提案。

AbstractCTS-9981388A. Beris, University of DelawarePolymeric additives to Newtonian fluids are well recognized as a drag reducing agent in wall bounded flows. The PI has proposed new studies to better elucidate the mechanistic bases for this phenomenon. The peer comments, while positive in general, suggest substantive limitations in the research plan. It has been elected, therefore, to provide a one-year bridging grant to permit initial results to be obtained. It is expected that an improved proposal for regular funding will result.
