Tumbling of Polymers in a Random Flow with Mean Shear
A polymer placed in chaotic flow with large mean shear tumbles, making a-periodic flips. We describe the statistics of angular orientation, as well as of tumbling time (separating two subsequent flips) of polymers in this flow. The probability distribution function (PDF) of the polymer orientation is peaked around a shear-preferred direction. The tails of this angular PDF are algebraic. The PDF...
متن کاملStretching of polymers in a random three-dimensional flow.
Behavior of a dilute polymer solution in a random three-dimensional flow with an average shear is studied experimentally. Polymer contribution to the shear stress is found to be more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than in a laminar shear flow. The results indicate that the polymer molecules are strongly stretched by the random motion of the fluid.
متن کاملElastic lattice polymers.
We study a model of "elastic" lattice polymer in which a fixed number of monomers m is hosted by a self-avoiding walk with fluctuating length l . We show that the stored length density ρm≡1-/m scales asymptotically for large m as ρm=ρ∞(1-θ/m+…) , where θ is the polymer entropic exponent, so that θ can be determined from the analysis of ρm. We perform simulations for elastic lattice polymer l...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear subcritical instability of visco-elastic Poiseuille flow
It is well known that the Poiseuille flow of a visco-elastic polymer fluid between plates or through a tube is linearly stable in the zero Reynolds number limit, although the stability is weak for large Weissenberg numbers (Wi). In this paper, we argue that recent experimental and theoretical work on the instability of visco-elastic fluids in Taylor–Couette cells and numerical work on channel f...
متن کاملElastic Properties of Crosslinked Polymers
At first a survey is given on the thermodynamics of rubber-elasticity and the results of the statistical theory of molecular networks. Experimental data of torsional vibrations, stress—strain measurements (simple extension and uniaxial compression) and photoelastic properties in dependence of temperature are reported. The measurements have been carried out on dry and swollen crosslinked polymer...
