FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF KINETIC DILUTE POLYMER MODELS WITH MICROSCOPIC CUT-OFF
We construct a Galerkin finite element method for the numerical approximation of weak solutions to a coupled microscopic-macroscopic bead-spring model that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The model consists of the unsteady i...
