      abstract     = {The response of dense brushes of semi-flexible polymers to
                      flow is of great interest in both technological and
                      biological contexts. Examples include the glycocalyx on the
                      endothelial surface layer in blood vessels [S. Weinbaum et
                      al., Annu. Rev. Biomed. Eng. 9, 121–167, 2007] and
                      mucus-like layers in lungs or the interior of nuclear
                      pores.We employ smoothed dissipative particle dynamics
                      (SDPD) [P. Espanol, M. Revenga, Phys. Rev. E 67, 026705,
                      2003] simulations to study semi-flexible polymer brushes for
                      a wide range of conditions including grafting density,
                      polymer elasticity, and shear stress due to flow. Our
                      simulation results are in good agreement with previous
                      studies [Y.W. Kim et al., Macromolecules 42, 3650–3655,
                      2009], which focused on brushes with low grafting densities.
                      We also propose a theoretical model which describes the
                      deformation of dense semi-flexible polymer brushes in shear
                      flow for a wide parameter range. The model allows us to
                      predict effective deformation (height), inner density
                      profile and hydrodynamic penetration depth (solvent velocity
                      profile). Therefore, it is suitable to predict the effect of
                      grafted surfaces on the flow profile in a slit or tube.},
