However, in inertia-dominated flow at high Re and low fluid elasticity El, a reduction in turbulent frictional drag is caused by an intricate competition between inertial and elastic stresses. Here we explore the effect of inertia on the stability of viscoelastic flow in a broad range of control parameters El and (Re,Wi). We present the stability diagram of observed flow regimes in Wi-Re coordinates and find that the instabilities' onsets show an unexpectedly nonmonotonic dependence on El. Further, three distinct regions in the diagram are identified based on El. Strikingly, for high-elasticity fluids we discover a complete relaminarization of flow at Reynolds number in the range of 1 to 10, different from a well-known turbulent drag reduction. These counterintuitive effects may be explained by a finite polymer extensibility and a suppression of vorticity at high Wi. Our results call for further theoretical and numerical development to uncover the role of inertial effect on elastic turbulence in a viscoelastic flow."}],"article_number":"103302 ","publisher":"American Physical Society","status":"public","type":"journal_article","publist_id":"8038","volume":3,"isi":1,"date_published":"2018-10-15T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Drag enhancement and drag reduction in viscoelastic flow","quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2025-04-14T07:43:59Z","external_id":{"isi":["000447311500001"]},"month":"10","issue":"10","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}],"ec_funded":1,"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","_id":"17","has_accepted_license":"1","day":"15","publication":"Physical Review Fluids","year":"2018","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:11Z","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-3072-5999","first_name":"Atul","last_name":"Varshney","full_name":"Varshney, Atul","id":"2A2006B2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Steinberg, Victor","last_name":"Steinberg","first_name":"Victor"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"ddc":["532"],"pubrep_id":"1061","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:12Z","intvolume":"         3","file":[{"creator":"system","checksum":"e1445be33e8165114e96246275600750","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"IST-2018-1061-v1+1_PhysRevFluids.3.103302.pdf","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:10:14Z","file_id":"4800","file_size":1409040,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:12Z"}],"doi":"10.1103/PhysRevFluids.3.103302","project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"oa":1,"publication_status":"published"}]
