Notes:
Abstract A state-of-the-art review on drag reduction has been presented in order to bring out some important aspects of the drag reduction phenomenon and its potential for practical use. The review is biased towards micellar systems and discusses in detail the morphological differences between drag reducing polymeric and micellar systems. Work relating to polymeric systems has not been dealt in detail as it has been the subject of earlier reviews. Studies relating to biological additives as well as suspensions have been briefly mentioned without detailed discussion as their potential for practical use presently appears] to be limited.
