Existence and equilibration of global weak solutions to finitely extensible nonlinear bead-spring chain models for dilute polymers
We show the existence of global-in-time weak solutions to a general class of coupled FENE-type bead-spring chain models that arise from the kinetic theory of dilute solutions of polymeric liquids with noninteracting polymer chains. The class of models involves the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stok...
