A discrete geometric approach for simulating the dynamics of thin viscous threads
Basile Audoly, Nicolas Clauvelin, Pierre-Thomas Brun +3
We present a numerical model for the dynamics of thin viscous threads based on a discrete, Lagrangian formulation of the smooth equations. The model makes use of a condensed set of…
Matched asymptotic expansions for twisted elastic knots: a self-contact problem with non- trivial contact topology
N. Clauvelin, B. Audoly, S. Neukirch
We derive solutions of the Kirchhoff equations for a knot tied on an infinitely long elastic rod subjected to combined tension and twist. We consider the case of simple (trefoil) a…
Elasticity and electrostatics of plectonemic DNA
N. Clauvelin, B. Audoly, S. Neukirch
We present a self-contained theory for the mechanical response of DNA in single molecule experiments. Our model is based on a 1D continuum description of the DNA molecule and accou…
Mechanical response of plectonemic DNA: an analytical solution
N. Clauvelin, B. Audoly, S. Neukirch
We consider an elastic rod model for twisted DNA in the plectonemic regime. The molecule is treated as an impenetrable tube with an effective, adjustable radius. The model is solve…
