Semiflexible polymers under external fields #
We have numerically investigated by using Brownian dynamics, semiflexible
polymers confined in a plane in two cases: under an external force for a 
tethered chain and in shear flow for a free one.
Such situations are relevant for adsorbed biological filaments.
Our results confirm experimental results and extend earlier theoretical 
predictions.
