Abstract
⺠We investigated through simulation Couette flow of polymer solutions in nanoscale channels. ⺠The study generalized dissipative particle dynamics with relatively high Schmidt number. ⺠Cross-stream migration towards the channel centerline is observed. ⺠The polymers exhibit stretching and tumbling with angular distributions exhibiting power-law decay. ⺠Tumbling kinetics of polymers is weakly periodic.
