The Rouse-Zimm equation for the position vectors of beads mapping the polymer is generalized by taking into account the viscous aftereffect and the hydrodynamic noise. For the noise, the random fluctuations of the hydrodynamic tensor of…
The dynamics of flexible polymers in dilute solutions is studied taking into account the hydrodynamic memory, as a consequence of fluid inertia. As distinct from the Rouse-Zimm (RZ) theory, the Boussinesq friction force acts on the monomers…
The paper is concerned with a class of mathematical models for polymeric fluids, which involves the coupling of the Navier-Stokes equations for a viscous, incompressible, constant-density fluid with a parabolic-hyperbolic…
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics of the end-to-end vector and relies on the preaveraging of…
We investigate the well-posedness of a coupled Navier-Stokes-Fokker-Planck system with a time-fractional derivative. Such systems arise in the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids, where the motion of noninteracting…
The theory of the dynamics of polymers in solution is developed coming from the hydrodynamic theory of the Brownian motion (BM) and the Rouse-Zimm (RZ) model. It is shown that the time correlation functions describing the polymer motion…
The emergent fluctuating hydrodynamics of a viscoelastic fluid modeled by the multiparticle collision dynamics (MPC) approach is studied. The fluid is composed of flexible, Gaussian phantom polymers, which interact by local…
We propose a theory of the dynamics of polymers in dilute solution, in which the popular Zimm and Rouse models are limiting cases of infinitely large and small draining parameter. The equation of motion for the polymer segments beads) is…
The rheological properties of viscoelastic materials like polymer melts are greatly affected by factors like salinity, temperature, concentration and pH of the solution. In this study, the memory of the stress affected by each of these…
We consider a Navier-Stokes-Voigt fluid model where the instantaneous kinematic viscosity has been completely replaced by a memory term incorporating hereditary effects, in presence of Ekman damping. The dissipative character of our model…
In order to study rheological properties of gelling systems in dilute solution, we investigate the viscosity and the normal stresses in the Zimm model for randomly crosslinked monomers. The distribution of cluster topologies and sizes is…
We continue the analysis on the model equation arising in the theory of viscoelasticity $$ \partial_{tt} u(t)-\big[1+k_t(0)\big]\Delta u(t) -\int_0^\infty k'_t(s)\Delta u(t-s) d s + f(u(t)) = g $$ in the presence of a (convex, nonnegative…
Tracer diffusion in polymer networks and hydrogels is relevant in biology and technology, while it also constitutes an interesting model process for the dynamics of molecules in fluctuating, heterogeneous soft matter. Here, we study…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we examine the dynamics of a family of model polymers with varying chain length and torsional potential barriers. We focus on features of the dynamics of polymers that are seen experimentally but absent…
In a variety of situations, isolated polymer molecules are found in a vacuum and here we examine their properties. Angular momentum conservation is shown to significantly alter the average size of a chain and its conservation is only broken…
We have advanced our previous static theory of polymer entanglement involving an extended Cahn-Hilliard functional, to include time-dependent dynamics. We go beyond the Gaussian approximation, to the one-loop level, to compute the frequency…
Generalized Langevin equations with non-linear forces and position-dependent linear friction memory kernels, such as commonly used to describe the effective dynamics of coarse-grained variables in molecular dynamics, are rigorously derived…
We suggest a theoretical description of the force-induced translocation dynamics of a polymer chain through a nanopore. Our consideration is based on the tensile (Pincus) blob picture of a pulled chain and the notion of propagating front of…
Polymers are among the most important materials in the modern society being found almost in every activity of our daily life. Understanding their chemical and physical properties lead to improvements of their usage. The correlation…
We investigated the static and dynamic properties of a Rouse ring polymer modified by introducing an effective, spherically symmetric, attractive potential of entropic nature and a memory function describing the effect of dynamic…
