We present experimental results on statistics of polymer orientation angles relative to the
shear plane and tumbling times in shear flow with thermal noise. The strong deviation of the …

Experimentally, it is well-known that the Rouse model gives a superb description of the
concentration dependence of terminal relaxation time, terminal modulus, zero shear-rate …

We use bead-spring models for a polymer coupled to a solvent described by multiparticle
collision dynamics to investigate shear thinning effects in dilute polymer solutions. First, we …

Using Brownian dynamics simulations, without excluded volume and hydrodynamic
interactions, on single polymer molecules represented by bead-spring models with stiff …

Theories of interpreting polymer physics and rheology at the molecular level from
experiments, including small-angle scattering, typically rely on the assumption that polymer …

The suitability of dissipative particle dynamics simulations is investigated to predict the
dynamics of polymer chains in dilute polymer solutions. The authors find that the predictions …

The conformational, orientational and dynamical properties of single flexible ring polymers
under simple shear flow are studied by a hybrid multiparticle collision dynamics simulation …

The dynamics of isolated polymer chains in dilute solution under steady, extensional flow
were investigated by means of flow light scattering. Both the orientation and deformation of …

A ring polymer is a classical model to explore the behaviors of biomacromolecules.
Compared with its linear counterpart in shear flow, the ring polymer should be more …

Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we predict the deformation of a polymer coil in dilute
solution and compare the results to direct measurements for DNA molecules and for …
