LANDAHL Department of Mechanics, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm? (Received 6 December 1974) Euromech 52, on drag reduction in turbulent flows due to additives, was held from 27-30 August 1974 in Stockholm, Sweden, under the chairmanship of M. T. Landahl, and was intended to bring together specialists in the various aspects of the drag-reduction phenomenon to discuss current experimental and theoretical work, and to identify promising directions for future research. There were forty-seven participants from eleven countries and twenty-two papers were presented, with ample time for discussion. These papers, which are briefly summarized in this report, could be grouped roughly under the headings of $5 2-6 below. 1. Introduction The phenomenon of drag reduction in a turbulent flow due to certain addi- tives, notably linear polymers of high molecular weight such as polyethylene oxide (Polyox), has been the subject of intensive research during the last fifteen years. The subject is interesting because of potential engineering appli- cations (typically 50% drag reduction is achieved with only a
