| Abstract: | We present exact spatio-temporal correlation functions of a Rouse polymer chain submerged in a fluid having planar mixed flow, in the steady state. Using these correlators, determination of the time scale distribution functions associated with the first-passage tumbling events is difficult in general; it was done recently in Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 188301 (2008), for the special case of "simple shear" flow. We show here that the method used in latter paper fails for the general mixed flow problem. We also give many new estimates of the exponent θ associated with the exponential tail of the angular tumbling time distribution in the case of simple shear. |
