Description
We study the dynammics of a single polymer subject to thermal fluctuations in a linear shear flow. The polymer is modeled as a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell. Both orientation and elongation dynamics are investigated numerically as a function of the shear strength, by means of a new efficient integration algorithm. The results are in agreement with experiments.
