We consider the dynamics of pore-driven polymer translocation through a nanopore to semi-infinite space when the chain is initially confined and equilibrated in a narrow channel. To this end, we use Langevin dynamics (LD) simulations and…

We study translocation of semiflexible polymers driven by force $f_d$ inside a nanometer-scale pore using our three-dimensional Langevin dynamics model. We show that the translocation time $\tau$ increases with increasing bending rigidity…

We study the dynamics of the passage of a polymer through a membrane pore (translocation), focusing on the scaling properties with the number of monomers $N$. The natural coordinate for translocation is the number of monomers on one side of…

Most of the theoretical models describing the translocation of a polymer chain through a nanopore use the hypothesis that the polymer is always relaxed during the complete process. In other words, models generally assume that the…

Using two dimensional Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation into a fluidic channel with diameter $R$ through a nanopore under a driving force $F$. Due to the crowding effect induced by the…

Polymer translocation has long been a topic of interest in the field of biological physics given its relevance in both biological (protein and DNA/RNA translocation through nuclear and cell membranes) and technological processes (nanopore…

Motivated by identifying the origin of the bias dependence of tension propagation we investigate methods for measuring tension propagation quantitatively in computer simulations of driven polymer translocation. Here the motion of flexible…

We study pore blockade times for a translocating polymer of length $N$, driven by a field $E$ across the pore in three dimensions. The polymer performs Rouse dynamics, i.e., we consider polymer dynamics in the absence of hydrodynamical…

Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the influence of polymer-pore interactions on the dynamics of biopolymer translocation through nanopores. We find that an attractive interaction can significantly change the translocation…

A key interest in geomorphology is to predict how the shear stress $\tau$ exerted by a turbulent flow of air or liquid onto an erodible sediment bed affects the transport load $M\tilde g$ (i.e., the submerged weight of transported…

We investigate several scaling properties of a translocating homopolymer through a thin pore driven by an external field present inside the pore only using Langevin Dynamics (LD) simulation in three dimension (3D). Specifically motivated by…

The predictions of the polymer mode coupling theory for the finite size corrections to the transport coefficients of entangled polymeric systems are tested in comparisons with various experimental data. It is found that quantitative…

The impact of thermal fluctuations on the translocation dynamics of a polymer chain driven through a narrow pore has been investigated theoretically and by means of extensive Molecular-Dynamics (MD) simulation. The theoretical consideration…

We review recent progress on the theory of dynamics of polymer translocation through a nanopore based on the iso-flux tension propagation (IFTP) theory. We investigate both pore-driven translocation of flexible and a semi-flexible polymers,…

Theoretical derivation and numerical confirmation are provided for the scaling of pore-blockade times as $N^{2+\nu}$ for unbiased translocation in two and three dimensions, with $N$ as the polymer length and $\nu$ as the Flory exponent of…

We consider the passage of long polymers of length N through a hole in a membrane. If the process is slow, it is in principle possible to focus on the dynamics of the number of monomers s on one side of the membrane, assuming that the two…

Here using LAMMPS molecular dynamics (MD) software, we simulate polymer translocation in 2 dimensions. We do the simulations for weak and moderate forces and for different pore diameters. Our results show that in both non-equilibrium and…

We show the presence of both a minimum and clear oscillations in the frequency dependence of the translocation time of a polymer described as a unidimensional Rouse chain driven by a spatially localized oscillating linear potential. The…

While the characteristics of the driven translocation for asymptotically long polymers are well understood, this is not the case for finite-sized polymers, which are relevant for real-world experiments and simulation studies. Most notably,…

A scaling relation for the disjoining pressure of strongly confined polymer fluids is proposed for the first time, which yields directly the scaling exponent, nu, of the radius of gyration for polymers. To test the proposed scaling relation…
