Two-dimensional turbulence of dilute polymer solutions.
We investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of polymer additives on two-dimensional turbulence by means of a viscoelastic model. We provide compelling evidence that, at vanishingly small concentrations, such that the polymers are passively transported, the probability distribution of polymer elongation has a power law tail: Its slope is related to the statistics of finite-time Lyapu...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Dynamics of Dilute Polymer Solutions
Polymers show universal behavior at long length and time scales. In this chapter, the equilibrium and dynamics of dilute polymer solutions is presented in terms of theoretical models that form the basis of polymer physics. The size of an ideal polymer is calculated from the freely jointed chain model, the freely rotating chain model and the Gaussian equivalent chain model. The Edwards Hamiltoni...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of dilute polymer solutions under shear flow via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics
We present and discuss data obtained by an extensive nonequilibrium molecular dynamics computer simulation study of polymer solutions under shear, where the chain consists of N beads connected by a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic (FENE) spring force and the solvent is explicitly taken into account. Various scaling laws are extracted from the data which allow one to predict the qualitative...
متن کاملPseudo-one-dimensional nucleation in dilute polymer solutions.
Pathogenic protein fibrils have been shown in vitro to have nucleation-dependent kinetics despite the fact that one-dimensional structures do not have the size-dependent surface energy responsible for the lag time in classical theory. We present a theory showing that the conformational entropy of the peptide chains creates a free-energy barrier that is analogous to the translational entropy bar...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Work Relations for Polymer Dynamics in Dilute Solutions
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium free energies of complex fluids are fundamental quantities that can be used to determine a wide array of system properties. Recently, we demonstrated the direct determination of the equilibrium free energy landscape and corresponding elasticity of polymer chains from work calculations in highly nonequilibrium fluid flows. In the present study, we further demonstra...
