Abstract
The influence on the friction behaviour caused by a rubber band held f ixed at one end of a circular tube containing a fully developed turbul ent flow was investigated. The drag was slightly higher under these co nditions with the drag approaching the Prandtl-Karman law at high Reyn olds numbers. The results are in contrast to the behaviour of a polyme r thread in heterogeneous drag reduction.
