Nonequilibrium Work Relations for Polymer Dynamics in Dilute Solutions
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium free energies of complex fluids are fundamental quantities that can be used to determine a wide array of system properties. Recently, we demonstrated the direct determination of the equilibrium free energy landscape and corresponding elasticity of polymer chains from work calculations in highly nonequilibrium fluid flows. In the present study, we further demonstra...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional turbulence of dilute polymer solutions.
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that, at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are passively transported, the probability distribution of polymer elongation has a power law tail: Its slope is related to the statistics of finite-time Lyapu...
متن کاملTheory of semi-dilute polymer solutions
2014 Some properties of semi-dilute poor and good solvent polymer solutions are examined within the framework of the field-theoretic formulism. The uncontrollable polydispersivity inherent in the field-theoretic formulism is shown to produce no errors if the quantity under investigation is molecular weight independent. A renormalization group cross-over calculation correct to order 03B5 is perf...
متن کاملSpectra of turbulence in dilute polymer solutions
Turbulence in dilute polymer solutions when polymers are strongly stretched by the flow is investigated. We establish power-law spectra of velocity, that are not associated with a flux of a conserved quantity, in two cases. First, such spectrum is formed in the elastic waves range of high Reynolds number turbulence of polymer solutions above the coil–stretch transition. Second, such spectrum is...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Dynamics of Dilute Polymer Solutions
Polymers show universal behavior at long length and time scales. In this chapter, the equilibrium and dynamics of dilute polymer solutions is presented in terms of theoretical models that form the basis of polymer physics. The size of an ideal polymer is calculated from the freely jointed chain model, the freely rotating chain model and the Gaussian equivalent chain model. The Edwards Hamiltoni...
