Abstract
The collisional alignment of macromolecule ions in an external electric field was studied based on the scaling of the dimensions and properties of a real macromolecule and its environment into the domain of classical mechanics. The calculations were carried out within the framework of computational fluid dynamics for a streamlined prolate spheroid macromolecule; they showed that the collisional alignment of ions occurred in an oscillatory mode with a characteristic time of several nanoseconds.
