Thermodynamics and Kinetics of a Three-Arm Star Polymer Translocating through a Nanopore
Bhavesh R. Sarode, Harshwardhan H. Katkar
In this work, voltage-driven translocation of uniformly charged long linear and three-arm star polymers through narrow nanopores is investigated. Langevin dynamics simulation is pe…
Free Energy and Diffusivity in the Fokker-Planck Theory of Polymer Translocation
Bhavesh R. Sarode, Harshwardhan H. Katkar
We revisit the Fokker-Planck based theory of driven polymer translocation through a narrow nanopore. A bead-spring model of a uniformly charged polyelectrolyte chain translocating…
Role of Non-Equilibrium Conformations on Driven Polymer Translocation
Harshwardhan H. Katkar, Murugappan Muthukumar
One of the major theoretical methods in understanding polymer translocation through a nanopore is the Fokker-Planck formalism based on the assumption of quasi-equilibrium of polyme…
Bifurcation in a thin liquid film flowing over a locally heated surface
Harshwardhan H. Katkar, Jeffrey M. Davis
We investigate the non-linear dynamics of a two-dimensional film flowing down a finite heater, for a non-volatile and a volatile liquid. An oscillatory instability is predicted bey…
