Abstract

In the context ofnatural gas pipelines the application ofbiomimetic drag-reducing technology has been proposed for the purpose of reducing wall resistance and increasing the transportation capacity by virtue of smooth internal coating. In this article, in order to validate the drag reduction effect, the precured micro-rolling technology (PCMRT) u'a.s adopted to fabricate the biomimetic drag-reducing pipes, and thefield testing experiment with natural gas was performedfor the first time, achieving a maximum drag reduction of 8.68%, which proves the feasibility of the application of this new technology in natural gas pipelines.
