X Abstract

Abstract   This paper has introduced a pseudo-potential in bond-fluctuation model to simulate oscillatory shear flow of multiple self-avoiding chains in three dimensions following our previous work under simple shear flow. The oscillatory flow field was reasonably reproduced by lattice Monte Carlo simulation using this pseudo-potential neglecting hydrodynamic interaction. By sampling the configuration distribution functions, the macroscopic viscoelasticity of semi-concentrated polymer solution was determined. Both Newtonian and non-Newtonian regimes were studied. The complex modulus and dynamic viscosity exhibit a reasonable power relation with oscillatory frequency, which is consistent with present theories and experiments. Consequently, lattice Monte Carlo simulation has been extended to model free-draining self-avoiding multi chains subject to oscillatory shear flow and to investigate associated viscoelasticity on the molecular level.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
