Review text

Dilute polymer solutions that reduce turbulent friction are treated as viscoelastic liquids for which, in addition to the Reynolds number, the scale-up criteria include the Deborah or elasticity number. Introduction of a generalized (viscoelastic) Reynolds number makes it possible to reduce the experimental curves for the drag coefficients obtained in pipes of various diameters at different concentrations to a unified dependence.
