Turbulent flows generate intense friction with pipe walls and are responsible for considerable amounts of energy losses at world scale. The nature of turbulent friction and techniques aimed at reducing it have been subject of extensive research over the last century, but no definite answer has been found yet. In this thesis we show that in pipes at moderate turbulent Reynolds numbers friction is better described by the power law first introduced by Blasius and not by the Prandtl–von Kármán formula. At higher Reynolds numbers, large scale motions gradually become more important in the flow and can be related to the change in scaling of friction. Next, we present a series of new techniques that can relaminarize turbulence by suppressing a key mechanism that regenerates it at walls, the lift–up effect. In addition, we investigate the process of turbulence decay in several experiments and discuss the drag reduction potential. Finally, we examine the behavior of friction under pulsating conditions inspired by the human heart cycle and we show that under such circumstances turbulent friction can be reduced to produce energy savings.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","file_date_updated":"2021-01-13T23:30:05Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"publication_status":"published","title":"New approaches to reduce friction in turbulent pipe flow","oa_version":"None","day":"13","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-5227-4271","first_name":"Davide","last_name":"Scarselli","full_name":"Scarselli, Davide","id":"40315C30-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"date_created":"2020-01-12T16:07:26Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa":1,"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","citation":{"ista":"Scarselli D. 2020.

While much effort is invested into developing ways to control and reduce turbulence intensities, so far no methods exist to altogether eliminate turbulence if velocities are sufficiently large. We demonstrate for pipe flow that appropriate distortions to the velocity profile lead to a complete collapse of turbulence and subsequently friction losses are reduced by as much as 90%. Counterintuitively, the return to laminar motion is accomplished by initially increasing turbulence intensities or by transiently amplifying wall shear. Since neither the Reynolds number nor the shear stresses decrease (the latter often increase), these measures are not indicative of turbulence collapse. Instead, an amplification mechanism                      measuring the interaction between eddies and the mean shear is found to set a threshold below which turbulence is suppressed beyond recovery.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"        14","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}],"month":"01","citation":{"short":"J.
