Abstract

As a result of experiments it was confirmed the unfolding of molecules under wall-adjacent turbulence conditions, as well as it was proved that dynamic structure formation in polymer solutions is occurred under the influence of supercritical longitudinal gradients of speeds. On the basis of data that characterize macromolecule dynamics in non-turbulence flow with stretching and the proved evidence of strong deformation effect on macromolecules in wall-adjacent turbulence, it has been established the molecular-and-supermolecular mechanism of effect reduction for flow resistance when injecting soluble polymer additives in a turbulence flow. Understanding the mechanism of reducing drag flow of oil in pipelines by small polymer additions will allow to develop recommendations on the choice of rational hydraulic regimes oil pipelines, as well as to outline ways for the directed synthesis of high-performance polymer additions that reduce friction in the turbulent oil pipelines.
