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."}],"isi":1,"publisher":"American Physical Society","type":"journal_article","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:12Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","day":"15","volume":3,"year":"2018","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"issue":"10","date_updated":"2023-09-11T12:59:28Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:11Z","project":[{"_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411"}],"publication_status":"published","month":"10","file":[{"file_size":1409040,"file_name":"IST-2018-1061-v1+1_PhysRevFluids.3.103302.pdf","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:10:14Z","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:12Z","access_level":"open_access","creator":"system","file_id":"4800","checksum":"e1445be33e8165114e96246275600750","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","article_number":"103302 ","_id":"17","status":"public","author":[{"first_name":"Atul","last_name":"Varshney","full_name":"Varshney, Atul","id":"2A2006B2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-3072-5999"},{"first_name":"Victor","full_name":"Steinberg, Victor","last_name":"Steinberg"}],"publication":"Physical Review Fluids","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}]}
