abstract = {The non-equilibrium structural and dynamical properties of
a semiflexible polymer confined in a cylindrical
microchannel and exposed to a Poiseuille flow is studied by
mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations. For a polymer with a
length half of its persistence length, large variations in
orientation and conformations are found as a function of
radial distance and flow strength. In particular, the
polymer exhibits U-shaped conformations near the channel
center. Hydrodynamic interactions lead to strong
cross-streamline migration. Outward migration is governed by
the polymer orientation and the corresponding anisotropy in
its diffusivity. Strong tumbling motion is observed, with a
tumbling time which exhibits the same dependence on Peclet
number as a polymer in shear flow. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2010},
