Which viscous drag reduction occurs when injecting polymers?

💡 Explanation

The outcome is turbulent flow suppression because polymer injection increases the fluid's extensional viscosity, which activates Drag Reduction due to damping turbulent eddies in shear layers. Therefore, turbulent kinetic energy dissipates, rather than enhanced turbulence by other mechanisms.
