A model for melting of confined DNA
E. Werner, M. Reiter-Schad, T. Ambjörnsson +1
When DNA molecules are heated they denature. This occurs locally so that loops of molten single DNA strands form, connected by intact double-stranded DNA pieces. The properties of…
Effect of weak fluid inertia upon Jeffery orbits
J. Einarsson, F. Candelier, F. Lundell +2
We consider the rotation of small neutrally buoyant axisymmetric particles in a viscous steady shear flow. When inertial effects are negligible the problem exhibits infinitely many…
Rotation of a spheroid in a simple shear at small Reynolds number
J. Einarsson, F. Candelier, F. Lundell +2
We derive an effective equation of motion for the orientational dynamics of a neutrally buoyant spheroid suspended in a simple shear flow, valid for arbitrary particle aspect ratio…
Scaling regimes of a semi-flexible polymer in a rectangular channel
E. Werner, B. Mehlig
We derive scaling relations for the extension statistics and the confinement free energy for a semi-flexible polymer confined to a channel with a rectangular cross-section. Our mot…
Stokes trapping and planet formation
M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig, V. Uski
It is believed that planets are formed by aggregation of dust particles suspended in the turbulent gas forming accretion disks around developing stars. We describe a mechanism, ter…
Caustics in turbulent aerosols
M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig
Networks of caustics can occur in the distribution of particles suspended in a randomly moving gas. These can facilitate coagulation of particles by bringing them into close proxim…
