Confinement of knotted polymers in a slit
R. Matthews, A. A. Louis, J. M. Yeomans
We investigate the effect of knot type on the properties of a ring polymer confined to a slit. For relatively wide slits, the more complex the knot, the more the force exerted by t…

Complex dynamics of knotted filaments in shear flow
R. Matthews, A. A. Louis, J. M. Yeomans
Coarse-grained simulations are used to demonstrate that knotted filaments in shear flow at zero Reynolds number exhibit remarkably rich dynamic behaviour. For stiff filaments that…

Effect of topology on dynamics of knots in polymers under tension
R. Matthews, A. A. Louis, J. M. Yeomans
We use computer simulations to compare the dynamical behaviour of torus and even-twist knots in polymers under tension. The knots diffuse through a mechanism similar to reptation.…
