Experimental observations and computer simulations have recently revealed universal
aspects of polymer solution behaviour that were previously unknown. This progress has …

We study the structure and dynamics of semidilute solutions of semiflexible polymers at rest
and under shear using hybrid molecular dynamics simulations that take hydrodynamic …

We present detailed scaling characteristics of the chain rotation dynamics in shear flow for
melt and dilute linear polymer systems using extensive atomistic and coarse-grained …

Recent studies indicate the importance of using bead‐rod models for polymer chains,
resolving to a single Kuhn step, especially in strong flows. Earlier, researchers suggested …

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 …

Although the nonequilibrium behavior of polymer solutions is generally well understood,
particularly in extensional flow, there remain several unanswered questions for dilute …

A reasonably accurate representation of a polymer chain is provided by beads connected
with rods, or stiff, inextensible springs that mimic a single Kuhn step. Due to high …

We study the dynamics of bottlebrush polymer molecules in dilute solutions subjected to
shear and uniaxial extensional flows using Brownian dynamics simulations with …

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 …

The computational efficiency of Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation of the constrained
model of a polymeric chain (bead-rod) with n beads and in the presence of hydrodynamic …
