Two phase picture in driven polymer translocation
  Two phase picture is a simple and effective methodology to capture the nonequilibrium dynamics of polymer associated with tension propagation. When applying it to the driven translocation process, there is a point to be noted, as briefly discussed in our recent article [Phys. Rev. E 85, 061803 (2012)]. In this article, we address this issue in detail and modify our previous prediction [Euro. Phys. J. E 34, 135 (2011)] by adopting an alternative steady-state ansatz. The modified scaling prediction turns out to be the same as that of the iso-flux model recently proposed by Rowghanian and Grosberg [J. Phys. Chem. B 115, 14127-14135 (2011)].
