Abstract
This paper presents experimental investigations of flow instability due to the viscoelasticity in backward-facing step turbulent flow of surfactant fluid. We measured spatial distribution of statistical quantities including Reynolds stress and examined those variations by adding surfactant additives with using PIV. We found the condition (parameter range) in terms of shear rate and the surfactant concentration of viscoelastic fluid for the flow instability.
