Distinct transition in flow statistics and vortex dynamics between low- and high-extent turbulent drag reduction in polymer fluids

Tobias Schneider

Flexible polymer additives are known to reduce the energy dissipation and friction drag in turbulent flows. As the fluid elasticity increases, the flow undergoes several stages of transitions. Much attention in the area has been focused on the onset of dra ...
