We study the effect of spherical particles on the turbulent flow of a viscoelastic fluid and find that the drag reducing effect of polymer additives is completely lost for semidense suspensions, with the drag increasing more than for suspensions in Newtonian fluids. This different behavior is due to three separate effects. First, polymer stretching is reduced by the presence of rigid particles, thus canceling the drag reducing benefit of the viscoelastic fluid. Second, drag increase is provided by the growth of the particle and polymeric shear stresses with the particles, due to larger shear rates in the vicinity of the particle surface. Third, particles migrate towards the wall due to the shear-thinning property of the fluid, thus enhancing the particle near-wall layer and further increasing the drag.
