Title:
FLUID TRANSPORT PIPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/027438
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fluid transport pipe. A first unit channel (12a) in which a channel cross-sectional area continuously decreases toward a downstream side and a second unit channel (12b) in which a channel cross-sectional area continuously increases toward the downstream side are alternately combined. A ratio A (= L/{[Smax]1/2- [Smin]1/2}) is set within a range in which a drag reduction rate RDbecomes a positive value. The fluid transport pipe includes: a first opening (22a) formed in a channel wall of the first unit channel; a second opening (22b) formed in a channel wall of the second unit channel; and a bypass channel (20) that allows by-passing of a flow from the first unit channel to the second unit channel through the openings.
