Abstract
Barnes, Townsend and Walters1 have communicated some results concerned with the pulsating flow of a non-Newtonian fluid through a pipe, in which it was shown that the mean pressure gradient along the pipe axis in pulsating flow conditions can be less than the constant gradient in conditions of steady flow, and it is suggested that this may be of industrial importance.
