We investigate the stretching mechanism of Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic (FENE) model of polymers in a random turbulent flow. The turbulent model includes a dominant space-scale $\ell\sim N^{-1}$, a dominant time-scale $\tau$, and…
We study the dynamics of a single polymer subject to thermal fluctuations in a linear shear flow. The polymer is modeled as a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic FENE dumbbell. Both orientation and elongation dynamics are investigated…
Although the non-equilibrium behaviour of polymer solutions is generally well understood, particularly in extensional flow, there remain several unanswered questions for dilute solutions in simple shear flow, and full quantitative agreement…
Systems coupling fluids and polymers are of great interest in many branches of sciences. One of the models to describe them is the FENE (Finite Extensible Nonlinear Elastic) dumbbell model. We prove global existence of weak solutions to the…
Polymer stretching in random smooth flows is investigated within the framework of the FENE dumbbell model. The advecting flow is Gaussian and short-correlated in time. The stationary probability density function of polymer extension is…
We present numerical studies for finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbells which are dispersed in a turbulent plane shear flow at moderate Reynolds number. The polymer ensemble is described on the mesoscopic level by a set of…
Rigid macromolecules or polymer chains with persistence length on the order of the contour length (or greater) have traditionally been modelled as rods or very stiff springs. The FENE-Fraenkel-spring dumbbell, which is finitely extensible…
The configurational distribution function, solution of an evolution (diffusion) equation of the Fokker-Planck-Smoluchowski type, is (at least part of) the corner stone of polymer dynamics: it is the key to calculating the stress tensor…
Beneitez et al. (Phys. Rev. Fluids, 8, L101901, 2023) have recently discovered a new linear "polymer diffusive instability" (PDI) in inertialess rectilinear viscoelastic shear flow using the FENE-P model when polymer stress diffusion is…
In this paper, we mainly study global well-posedness and optimal decay rate for the strong solutions of the compressible co-rotation finite extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model. This model is a coupling of the isentropic…
In this paper we mainly investigate the inviscid limit for the strong solutions of the finite extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model. By virtue of the Littlewood-Paley theory, we first obtain a uniform estimate for the solution…
In the shear flow of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) the nematic director orientation can align with the flow direction for some materials, but continuously tumble in others. The nematic dumbbell (ND) model was originally developed to…
We extend our analysis on the Oldroyd-B model in Barrett and Boyaval [1] to consider the finite element approximation of the FENE-P system of equations, which models a dilute polymeric fluid, in a bounded domain $D $\subset$ R d , d = 2 or…
The FENE-P and sPTT viscoelastic models are widely used for modelling of complex fluids. Although they are derived from distinct micro-structural theories, these models can become mathematically identical in steady and homogeneous flows…
We analyse the stability of viscoelastic Dean flow (flow of an elastic fluid through a curved two-dimensional channel, driven by an azimuthal pressure gradient) in the absence of fluid inertia. This configuration is well known to exhibit a…
The steady flow of three viscoelastic fluids (Oldroyd-B, FENE-P, and Owens model for blood) in a two-dimensional channel, partly bound by a deformable, finite thickness neo-Hookean solid, is computed. The limiting Weissenberg number beyond…
Polymers exposed to shear flow exhibit a rich tumbling dynamics. While rigid rods rotate on Jeffery orbits, flexible polymers stretch and coil up during tumbling. Theoretical results show that in both of these asymptotic regimes the…
The FENE dumbbell model consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and the Fokker-Planck equation for the polymer distribution. In such a model, the polymer elongation cannot exceed a limit $\sqrt{b}$, yielding all interesting…
The statistics of polymers advected by a turbulent flow are investigated. To limit the polymer lengths above to coil-stretch transition, a FENE-P type relaxation law is used. The turbulence is modeled by a random strain, delta-correlated in…
This paper studies the N-dimensional FENE dumbbell model without velocity dissipation, focusing on the stability and decay of perturbations near the steady solution $(0,\pin)$. Due to the lack of velocity dissipation, the above problems are…
