Abstract In this paper, dynamic behaviours of dilute polymer solutions of various bead-spring chain models in shear flow are studied using a coarse-grained method based on the Integrated Radial Basis Function Networks (IRBFNs) and stochastic technique. The velocity field governed by the macroscopic conservation equations is determined by the IRBFN-based method, whereas the evolution of configurations of polymer chains governed by the diffusion stochastic differential equations are captured by the Brownian Configuration Field (BCF) approach. The system of micro-macro equations is closed by the Kramers’ expression, which allows for the determination of the polymer stresses in terms of BCF configurations. In… More >
