Modelling Polymers as Compressible Elastic Spheres in Couette Flow

A model of polymer chains as compressible elastic spheres in flow is presented. The spherical polymer blobs are assumed to compress in simple Couette flow in accord with recent rheo-optic measurements on semi-dilute solutions. The experimentally determined decrease in radius with increasing shear ra...
