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.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053FluidsFluid mechanicsEngineering—MaterialsPhysicsFluid- and Aerodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026Engineering Fluid Dynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044Materials Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Fluids.Fluid mechanics.Engineering—Materials.Physics.Fluid- and Aerodynamics.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Materials Engineering.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.515.352515.39Owolabi Bayodeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059937BOOK9910337870203321Characterisation of Turbulent Duct Flows2509762UNINA
