Object and purpose of research. Relationships between friction resistance coefficient and velocity distributions in the turbulent boundary layer of low-concentrated polymer solutions are investigated. These relationships are different from water because in polymer solutions the friction resistance at constant Reynolds numbers is additionally changed with solution concentrations. Materials and methods. The known experimental data on variations of the friction resistance coefficient and the velocity profiles in turbulent flows in circular tubes at changes in polymer solution concentrations. Main results. The general law of coordinated variations in friction resistance coefficient λ and flow velocity profile in the turbulent boundary layer depending on Reynolds number and polymer solution concentration. The flow models are validated, which describe the laws of velocity variations in all characteristic sections of boundary layer: laminar sublayer, buffer and logarithmic flow areas. A new non-dimensional number is introduced, which characterizes the ability of low concentrated water solutions of polymers to reduce the friction resistance. It is called the Toms effect parameter in the work. Conclusion. Results of the investigation will be useful in developing the theoretical methods for estimation of boundary layer characteristics in polymer solutions.
