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."}],"oa":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Varshney","full_name":"Varshney, Atul","orcid":"0000-0002-3072-5999","id":"2A2006B2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Atul"},{"full_name":"Steinberg, Victor","last_name":"Steinberg","first_name":"Victor"}],"publisher":"American Physical Society","intvolume":"         3","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000447311500001"]},"article_processing_charge":"No","doi":"10.1103/PhysRevFluids.3.103302","title":"Drag enhancement and drag reduction in viscoelastic flow","oa_version":"Published Version","project":[{"grant_number":"754411","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"status":"public","scopus_import":"1","issue":"10","ddc":["532"],"year":"2018","pubrep_id":"1061","date_published":"2018-10-15T00:00:00Z","citation":{"apa":"Varshney, A., &#38; Steinberg, V.
