| dc.description | The torsional dynamics of a semiflexible polymer with a contour length L larger than its persistence length L<sub>p</sub> that is rotated at fixed frequency ω<sub>0</sub> at one end is studied by scaling arguments and hydrodynamic simulations. We find a non-equilibrium transition at a critical frequency ω<sub>*</sub>: In the linear regime, ω<sub>0</sub><ω<sub>*</sub>, axial spinning is the dominant dissipation mode. In the non-linear regime, ω<sub>0</sub>>ω<sub>*</sub>, the twist dissipation mode involves the continuous creation of plectonemes close to the driven end and the rotational friction is substantially reduced. |
