Abstract With a new visualization technique, a strong suppression of small scale coherent structures (filaments) in turbulence is observed when a drag reducing polymer is added. Simultaneously, the rate of formation of large scale structures (eddies) out of these filaments decreases, which may be an important observation in the explanation of turbulent drag reduction.
