Towing tank experiments to determine effect of additive (polyethylene oxide) on turbulent frictional resistance of three models (mariner ship model, destroyer model, flat plate); results indicate possibility of reduction of viscous resistance in full scale flows by introduction of extremely minute amounts of so-called non-Newtonian additives into boundary layer; ship model resistance decreased by about 25% of total drag which consisted of viscous and wave making components.
