On Shear Thinning in Dilute Polymer Solutions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
While recent remrmalization group studies predict shear thickening in the limit of large Weissenberg numbers, scaling theories predict shear thinning. The ocntroversy is related to the question whether the Weissenberg number or the shear rate should be kept fixed when taking the limit of infinitely long polymers.
