Numerical Approximation of Corotational Dumbbell Models for Dilute Polymers
We construct a general family of Galerkin methods for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a coupled microscopic-macroscopic bead-spring model that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier– Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd, d = 2 or 3, for the veloci...
متن کاملFinite Element Approximation of Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic Dumbbell Models for Dilute Polymers
We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a general class of coupled FENE-type finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell models that arise from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The class of models involves the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded d...
متن کاملExistence of Global Weak Solutions to Dumbbell Models for Dilute Polymers with Microscopic Cut-off
We study the existence of global-in-time weak solutions to a coupled microscopicmacroscopic bead-spring model with microscopic cut-off, which arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd, d = 2 or 3, for the velocity and the pressure...
متن کاملKinetic Models of Dilute Polymers: Analysis, Approximation and Computation
We review recent analytical and computational results for macroscopic-microscopic beadspring models that arise from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of incompressible polymeric fluids with noninteracting polymer chains, involving the coupling of the unsteady Navier– Stokes system in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd, d = 2 or 3, with an elastic extra-stress tensor as right-hand side in the momentum...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of dilute solutions of semiflexible polymers.
We show using Brownian dynamics simulations and theory how the shear relaxation modulus G(t) of dilute solutions of relatively stiff semiflexible polymers differs qualitatively from that of rigid rods. For chains shorter than their persistence length, G(t) exhibits three time regimes: At very early times, when the longitudinal deformation is affine, G(t) approximately t(-3/4). Over a broad inte...
