Abstract

Euromech 52, on drag reduction in turbulent flows due to additives, was held from 27-30 August 1974in 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 §§ 2-6 below.
