Untying Knotted DNA with Elongational Flows
We present Brownian dynamics simulations of initially knotted double-stranded DNA molecules untying in elongational flows. We show that the motions of the knots are governed by a diffusion-convection equation by deriving scalings that collapse the simulation data. When being convected, all knots dis...
