Single polymer dynamics: coil-stretch transition in a random flow
arXiv:nlin/0404045 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2005-10087-1
Abstract
By quantitative studies of statistics of polymer stretching in a random flow and of a flow field we demonstrate that the stretching of polymer molecules in a 3D random flow occurs rather sharply via the coil-stretch transition at the value of the criterion close to theoretically predicted.
