Relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following extensional flow 1
The relaxation of dilute polymer solutions following stretch in uniaxial extensional flow is investigated via Brownian dynamic simulations of a flexible freely-draining bead-rod chain. The bead-rod chain simulations are compared to Brownian dynamic simulations of a FENE dumbbell and numerical calculations of a FENE-PM chain. A universal relaxation curve for the stress decay from steady-state is...
متن کاملConstant Force Extensional Rheometry of Polymer Solutions
We revisit the rapid stretching of a liquid filament under the action of a constant imposed tensile force, a problem which was first considered by Matta & Tytus [JNNFM vol. 35, pp 215-229, 1990]. A liquid bridge formed from a viscous Newtonian fluid or from a dilute polymer solution is first established between two cylindrical disks. The upper disk is held fixed and may be connected to a force ...
متن کاملScaling of singular structures in extensional flow of dilute polymer solutions
Recently singular solutions have been discovered in purely elongational flows of visco-elastic fluids. We surmise that these solutions are the mathematical structures underlying the so-called birefringent strands seen experimentally. In order to facilitate future experimental studies of these we derive a number of asymptotic results for the scaling of the width and extension of the near-singula...
متن کاملExtensional Relaxation Times of Dilute, Aqueous Polymer Solutions
We show that visualization and analysis of capillary-driven thinning and pinch-off dynamics of the columnar neck in an asymmetric liquid bridge created by dripping-onto-substrate can be used for characterizing the extensional rheology of complex fluids. Using a particular example of dilute, aqueous PEO solutions, we show the measurement of both the extensional relaxation time and extensional vi...
متن کاملEntangled chain dynamics of polymer knots in extensional flow.
We formulate a coarse-grained molecular-dynamics model of polymer chains in solution that includes hydrodynamic interactions, thermal fluctuations, nonlinear elasticity, and topology-preserving solvent mediated excluded volume interactions. The latter involve a combination of potential forces with explicit geometric detection and tracking of chain entanglements. By solving this model with numer...
