Abstract

AbstractExperimental measurements have indicated that drag enhancement occurs when aqueous electrolyte solutions are flowing in the turbulent regime. The primary electroviscous effect due to the distortion by the shear field of the electrical double layer surrounding the ions in solution is invoked to explain the drag enhancement. Calculations using the Booth model for symmetrical one‐to‐one electrolytes enabled the increased viscosity in the turbulent regime to be calculated.
