abstract = {The nonequilibrium properties of uniformly charged linear
polymers in the presence of explicit counterions under shear
flow are studied by coarse-grained mesoscale hydrodynamics
simulations. The conformational properties of the
polyelectrolyte (PE) are quantified by the gyration tensor,
the distribution of the end-to-end distance, and alignment
with the flow, which display rather universal behavior for
small and moderate electrostatic interaction strengths in
the regime of condensed counterions. In the limit of strong
counterion condensation, shear flow leads to a globule-coil
transition and polymer stretching, associated with an
increase of the effective PE charge. The polyelec- trolytes
exhibit a pronounced tumbling motion with cyclic stretched
and collapsed conformations. The average tumbling-time
period decreases with increasing shear rate by a power-law
with the exponent -2/3 for PEs in the coiled state. The
tumbling time exhibits a pla- teaulike regime over nearly a
decade of shear rates for PEs in the globular state. In
addition, we identify various characteristic PE struc- tures
under flow in the globule and coil limits determined by the
condensed counterions.},
