We extend the Rouse model of polymer dynamics to situations of non-stationary chain growth. For a dragged polymer chain of length $N(t) = t^\alpha$, we find two transitions in conformational dynamics. At $\alpha= 1/2$, the propagation of…
We analyze the conformational dynamics and statistical properties of an active polymer model. The polymer is described as a freely-jointed bead-rod chain subject to stochastic active force dipoles that act on the suspending solvent where…
Models of active nematics in biological systems normally require complexity arising from the hydrodynamics involved at the microscopic level as well as the viscoelastic nature of the system. Here we show that a minimal, space-independent,…
