  bibo_abstract:
  - The drag of turbulent flows can be drastically decreased by adding small amounts
    of high molecular weight polymers. While drag reduction initially increases with
    polymer concentration, it eventually saturates to what is known as the maximum
    drag reduction (MDR) asymptote; this asymptote is generally attributed to the
    dynamics being reduced to a marginal yet persistent state of subdued turbulent
    motion. Contrary to this accepted view, we show that, for an appropriate choice
    of parameters, polymers can reduce the drag beyond the suggested asymptotic limit,
    eliminating turbulence and giving way to laminar flow. At higher polymer concentrations,
    however, the laminar state becomes unstable, resulting in a fluctuating flow with
    the characteristic drag of the MDR asymptote. Our findings indicate that the asymptotic
    state is hence dynamically disconnected from ordinary turbulence. © 2018 American
