Cellular-automaton-based simulation of 2D polymer dynamics

Abstract
A cellular-automaton-based model that simulates flexible polymers in good solvents is constructed. Excluded-volume effects as well as hydrodynamic interactions are incorporated in this model in a very natural way. The center-of-mass velocity autocorrelation function of a single polymer chain in a 2D solution is found to obey a dynamic scaling relation which violates the nondraining concept.
