Abstract

A first experimental characterization of low Reynolds number, oscillating grid generated, and near-surface turbulence in shear-thinning dilute polymer solutions is presented. Energy transfer and horizontal damping mechanisms are evidenced. The evolution of the viscous sublayer depth can be explained by both viscous and shear-thinning effects.
