Abstract
We present the results of a dynamic Monte Carlo simulation of macromolecules in a dilute solution subjected to plane Poiseuille flow in a channel between impenetrable walls, in two dimensions. The polymer dimensions parallel and perpendicular to the flow direction and the polymer distribution in the flow channel are calculated as a function of the distance from the walls and the difference with previous work on self‐avoiding chains in simple‐shear flow is discussed. In agreement with our previous analysis of the simple‐shear flow case we find that Poiseuille flows also produce narrowing of wall‐depletion layers.
