## Abstract The behavior of dilute solutions of linear polyelectrolyte molecules both at equilibrium and under shear flow is modeled by using the Brownian dynamics simulation technique. The mathematical polymer model consists of a bead‐and‐spring chain with charged beads that interact through a scr
Hydrodynamic interactions on dilute solutions of spherical beads under shear flow are calculated with the method of induced forces. The Navier-Stokes equation is considered in the Stokes approximation. Hydrodynamic interactions cause the drag to be anisotropic in space. Numerical solutions are obta
## Abstract **Summary:** Polymer orientation in dilute solutions undergoing shear flow is investigated computationally by means of the Brownian dynamics simulation technique applied to the bead‐spring chain model. The dependence of the degree of orientation on the shear intensity is evaluated throu
