Abstract
We study the Rolie-Poly model for entangled polymers, using a singular perturbation analysis for the limit of large relaxation time. In this limit, it is shown that the model displays the characteristic features of thixotropic yield stress fluids, including yield stress hysteresis, delayed yielding and long term persistence of a decreased viscosity after cessation of flow. We focus on the startup and cessation of shear flow. We identify dynamic regimes of fast, slow and yielded dynamics, and show how the combination of these regimes can be used to describe the flow.
