Markov state modeling of polymers in shear flow — •Fabian Knoch and Thomas Speck — Institut für Physik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Staudinger Weg 7, 55099 Mainz, Germany

The dynamical properties of polymers driven by shear flow have been investigated intensively. In shear flows, polymers show a coil to globular transition. This switch-like dynamics is not only relevant in the context of biology (proteins flowing through blood vessels are also exposed to shear flows) but also from the point of non-equilibrium statistical dynamics. We study numerically a generic polymer model [1]. Instead of performing constant shear rate simulations, we investigate the dynamics subjected to constant interparticle stress σconst. Similar to the constant shear rate case, the constant stress simulations also show a switch-like dynamics depending on σconst. Using stochastical thermodynamics, we develop a new method to construct dynamical Markov state models [2] for polymers in shear flow.
