Single-polymer dynamics in steady shear flow.
The conformational dynamics of individual, flexible polymers in steady shear flow were directly observed by the use of video fluorescence microscopy. The probability distribution for the molecular extension was determined as a function of shear rate, gamma;, for two different polymer relaxation times, tau. In contrast to the behavior in pure elongational flow, the average polymer extension in s...
متن کاملBicontinuous Microemulsions under Steady Shear Flow
Dynamic response of microemulsions to shear deformation on the basis of twoorder-parameter time dependent Ginzburg-Landau model is investigated by means of cell dynamical system approach. Time evolution of anisotropic factor and excess shear stress under steady shear flow is studied by changing shear rate and total amount of surfactant. As the surfactant concentration is increased, overshoot pe...
متن کاملSingle-chain dynamics in a semidilute polymer solution under steady shear.
We use Brownian dynamics computer simulations to investigate single-chain dynamics in a semidilute polymer solution undergoing a steady, uniform shear flow. In the presence of the shear flow, the system used in the present study exhibits anisotropic structure factors, often referred to as butterfly patterns, which rotate with increasing shear rate [P. P. Jose and G. Szamel, J. Chem. Phys. 127, ...
متن کاملThe approach to steady state in microemulsions under shear flow
We present an analitical study of the dynamical process of the approach to steady state for a driven diffusive system represented by the microemulsion phase of a ternary mixture. The external applied field is given by a “plane Couette”shear flow and the problem is studied within the framework of a time-dependent GinzburgLandau model. A Fokker-Planck equation for the probability distribution of ...
متن کاملMotion of diatom chains in steady shear flow
Information on the motion of phytoplankton in shear flows is essential for predicting or understanding effects of turbulence on processes such as nutrient uptake, aggregate formation, and phytoplankter-herbivore interactions. Of particular interest is the motion of diatom chains because they are expected to benefit most from enhancement of nutrient flux due to turbulence and are often the most ...
