Modeling a tethered polymer in Poiseuille flow

Abstract:

We investigate the behavior of a tethered polymer in Poiseuille flow using a multiscale algorithm. The polymer, treated using molecular dynamics, is coupled to a solvent modeled by the stochastic rotation algorithm, a particle-based Navier-Stokes integrator. The expected series of morphological transitions of the polymer: sphere to distorted sphere to trumpet to stem and flower to rod are recovered, and we discuss how the polymer extension depends on the flow velocity. Backflow effects cause ...
