| contents | We investigate extensional viscosity and polymer conformation in dilute polymer solutions under uniaxial extensional flow using dissipative particle dynamics simulations. At high extension rates, polymers are significantly stretched by extensional flows, and the extensional viscosity growth function exhibits strain hardening. To reveal their quantitative relation, we adopt an analysis method based on the Rouse-type model. We demonstrate that the extensional viscosity growth function is determined by the instantaneous gyration radii in the parallel and perpendicular directions to the extensional direction and their time derivatives. Our approach also provides a unified description of the steady-state extensional viscosity of dilute polymer solutions for various chain lengths and concentrations in terms of the polymer gyration radius. |
