Gillissen, J.J.J. (author), Hoving, J.P. (author)Pipe flow experiments show that turbulent drag reduction in plug-flow of concentrated suspensions of macroscopic fibers is a self-similar function of the wall shear stress over the fiber network yield stress. We model the experimental observations, by assuming a central fiber network plug, whose radius is determined by the yield stress....journal article 2012
