Abstract: We investigate mutual local chain order in systems of fully flexible polymer melts in a simple generic bead-spring model. The excluded-volume interaction together with the connectivity leads to local ordering effects which are independent of chain length between 25 and 700 monomers, i.e. in the Rouse as well as in the reptation regime. These ordering phenomena extend to a distance of about 3 to 4 monomer sizes and decay to zero afterwards.
