Shear thinning in dilute polymer solutions.
We use bead-spring models for a polymer coupled to a solvent described by multiparticle collision dynamics to investigate shear thinning effects in dilute polymer solutions. First, we consider the polymer motion and configuration in a shear flow. For flexible polymer models we find a sharp increase...
