Drag reduction by a linear viscosity profile [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 Drag reduction by polymers in turbulent flows raises an apparent contradiction: the stretching of the polymers must increase the viscosity, so why is the drag reduced? A recent theory proposed that drag reduction in agreement with experiments is consistent with the effective viscosity growing linearly with the distance from the wall.

Drag enhancement and drag reduction in viscoelastic flow [PDF]
Physical Review Fluids, 2018 Creeping flow of polymeric fluid without inertia exhibits elastic instabilities and elastic turbulence accompanied by drag enhancement due to elastic stress produced by flow-stretched polymers. However, in inertia-dominated flow at high $\mbox{Re}$ and low fluid elasticity $El$, a reduction in turbulent frictional drag is caused by an intricate ...

Impact of the Microstructure of Polymer Drag Reducer on Slick-Water Fracturing
Geofluids, 2017 Many studies have focused on the drag reduction performance of slick-water, but the microdrag reduction mechanism remains unclear since the microstructure of the drag reducer and its effect on this mechanism have not been well studied. In this study, the
