contents We place observational constraints on a dark energy (DE) model in which a quintessence scalar field $ϕ$ is coupled to dark matter (DM) through momentum and energy exchanges.The momentum transfer is weighed by an interaction between the field derivative and DM four velocity with a coupling constant $β$, whereas the energy exchange is characterized by an exponential scalar-field coupling to the DM density with a coupling constant $Q$. A positive coupling $β$ leads to the suppression for the growth of DM density perturbations at low redshifts, whose property offers a possibility for resolving the $σ_8$ tension problem. A negative coupling $Q$ gives rise to a $ϕ$-matter-dominated epoch, whose presence can reduce the sound horizon around the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) decoupling epoch. Using the data of Planck 2018, 12-th Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Phantheon supernovae samples, and 1-year dark energy survey, we find that the two couplings are constrained to be $β=0.332^{+1.246}_{-0.237}$ and $Q =-0.0312^{+0.0312}_{-0.0085}$ at 68\,\% confidence level (CL). Thus, there is an interesting observational signature of the momentum exchange ($β\neq 0$) between DE and DM, with a peak of the probability distribution of the energy transfer coupling at $Q<0$.
