abstract = {The conformational and rheological properties of active
filaments/polymers exposed to shear flow are studied
analytically. Using the continuous Gaussian semiflexible
polymer model extended by the activity, we derive analytical
expressions for the dependence of the deformation,
orientation, relaxation times, and viscosity on the
persistence length, shear rate, and activity. The model
yields a Weissenberg-number dependent shear-induced
deformation, alignment, and shear thinning behavior,
similarly to the passive counterpart. Thereby, the model
shows an intimate coupling between activity and shear flow.
As a consequence, activity enhances the shear-induced
polymer deformation for flexible polymers. For semiflexible
polymers/filaments, a nonmonotonic deformation is obtained
because of the activity-induced shrinkage at moderate and
swelling at large activities. Independent of stiffness,
activity-induced swelling facilitates and enhances alignment
and shear thinning compared to a passive polymer. In the
asymptotic limit of large activities, a polymer length- and
stiffness-independent behavior is obtained, with universal
shear-rate dependencies for the conformations, dynamics, and
rheology},
