This review is concerned with the nonequilibrium dynamics and structure of complex fluids
based on simple micro-and mesoscopic physical models which are not rigorously solvable …

A refined version of the Doi and Edwards tube model for entangled polymer liquids is
presented. The model is intended to cover linear chains in the full range of deformation rates …

The idea that the dynamics of concentrated, high–molecular weight polymers are largely
governed by entanglements is now widely accepted and typically understood through the …

A hierarchical (triple scale) simulation methodology is presented for the prediction of the
dynamical and rheological properties of high molecular-weight entangled polymer melts …

A full-chain, temporary network model is proposed for nonlinear flows of linear, entangled
polymeric liquids. The model is inspired by the success of a recent reptation model, but …

We develop a microscopic description of the contribution to stress relaxation in entangled
polymer melts of convective constraint release, which is the release of entanglement …

Models should be as simple as possible, but no simpler. For the physics of polymeric liquids,
whose relevant lengths and time scales are out of reach for first principles calculations, this …

A consistently unconstrained Brownian slip-link (CUBS) model with constant chain friction is
used to predict the linear rheological behavior of linear, entangled polymeric liquids. As in …

We examine the dynamics of DNA molecules in mixed flows where the ratio of vorticity to
strain rate may be slightly above or below unity via Brownian dynamics simulation. We find …

ABSTRACT A survey is presented of the field of computational rheology applied to the
analysis of viscoelastic effects in complex flows of polymeric fluids. First, I outline the …
