a Time-dependent viscosity for a wide range of Péclet numbers and polymer lengths. b A data collapse is obtained by rescaling the viscosity by η(t)σ3/ζL2 and the time scale by tv/L. c Long-time viscosity η∞ as a function of polymer length L extracted from simulations for a wide range of Péclet numbers. The black line indicates the scaling of η∞ ∼ L2.
