Abstract
For the simplest non-linear kinetic theory of dilute polymeric solutions (FENE dumbbells), the pre-averaging Peterlin approximation used to derive a macroscopic constitutive equation (FENE-P) is shown to have a significant impact on the statistical and rheological properties of the model. This is illustrated in simulations of transient elongational flows by means of standard and stochastic numerical techniques.
