The rheological properties of dilute polymer solutions in exponential shear, uniaxial, and planar extensional flows are compared using Brownian dynamics simulations of both freely draining, flexible bead-rod and bead-spring chains. We introduce a novel stress function for exponential shear which uses the extinction angle χ to take into account the orientation of the chain as it aligns in the flow. Comparing this new stress function during startup and relaxation in exponential shear with τ11−τ22 in planar extensional flow and τ11−12(τ22+τ33) in uniaxial extensional flow, we find that for both models there is a quantitative agreement among the three different flows over a large range of Wi, strain, and chain length. Furthermore, the distributions of maximum extension show a microstructural equivalence between ensembles of chains in all three flows up to strains of 3 or 4 at all values of Wi simulated. Finally, we show three comparisons between experiment and simulation of the various flows: (a) simulations ...
