We consider stagnation point flow away from a wall for creeping flow of dilute polymer solutions. For a simplified flow geometry, we explicitly show that a narrow region of strong polymer extension (a birefringent strand) forms downstream of the stagnation point in the UCM model and extensions, like

## 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
