“…The higher the concentration, the more the chains are orientated along the flow direction. Such a concentration effect has also been reported in light scattering experiments [86], where dilute polymer solutions are considered. A comparison of the experimental data with the simulation results is presented in Fig.…”

“…In Ref. [86], a factor β e ∼ [η]γ, where [η] is the intrinsic viscosity, is used to present the data. This quantity is proportional to Wi, since [η] is proportional to the longest relaxation time τ ; however, β e and Wi are not identical.…”

“…In the last period, the scattered intensities show a behaviour already observed at orientation phenomena from rate. If all experimental parameters like temperature, concentration and shear rate are strictly kept constant, the characterpolymer solution (8). The SIS formation can be regarded as a process which may be divided into three stages: induc-istic times t ind and t orient are reproducible.…”

“…An average polymer extension and angular orientation were theoretically considered also in Ref. [8], where the results of calculations were compared with light scattering measurements [16,17].In this Letter we concentrate on statistics of angular orientation and tumbling and scaling relations of their characteristics for a single DNA molecule in a shear flow, when thermal fluctuations are the main cause for tumbling.It is well known that a probability distribution function (PDF) of the end-to-end vector R for a polymer described by a dumbbell model with a linear relaxation in a simple shear is Gaussian [7]. Nevertheless, PDFs of the polymer extension, | R| ≡ R, as well as polymer angular orientation are strongly non-Gaussian due to anisotropy introduced by the shear.…”
