Tumbling-Snake Model for Polymeric Liquids Subjected to Biaxial Elongational Flows with a Focus on Planar Elongation

We have recently solved the tumbling-snake model for concentrated polymer solutions and entangled melts in the presence of both steady-state and transient shear and uniaxial elongational flows, supplemented by a variable link tension coefficient. Here, we provide the transient and stationary solutio...
