This article provides a review of recent progress in understanding and predicting polymer
drag reduction (DR) in turbulent wall-bounded shear flows. The reduction in turbulent friction …

Single polymer dynamics offers a powerful approach to study molecular-level interactions
and dynamic microstructure in materials. Direct visualization of single polymer chains has …

Kinetic theory models involving the Fokker–Planck equation can be accurately discretized
using a mesh support (finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes, spectral techniques …

Recent progress toward understanding the rheology of dilute solutions of flexible polymers
is reviewed, emphasizing experimental results from flows imaging single deoxyribonucleic …

Within the last decade, fluorescence microscopy of single molecules of DNA in a plethora of
flow fields has allowed an unprecedented examination of the dynamics of polymers in flow …

Intramolecular hydrodynamic interactions (HI) in flexible polymer chains influence both the
equilibrium and nonequilibrium physical properties of macromoecules. In this work, we …

Active matter systems, and in particular the cell cytoskeleton, exhibit complex
mechanochemical dynamics that are still not well understood. While prior computational …

We describe a method to include full hydrodynamic interactions (HI) using the Rotne–Prager
tensor into the bead–spring model without excluded-volume interactions in a way suitable …

We present a study of the coarse-graining of polymers into bead-spring chains using
statistical mechanics. The force–extension behavior is examined at different levels of coarse …

The dynamical behavior of DNA in steady shear flow has been elucidated using a
combination of Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation and single molecule visualization using …
