Simulations show that the location of the counterforce on the fluid, not just the active monomer, determines whether an active polymer creates pusher or puller flow fields, and that stiff chains transmit forces in a way that can flip the expected flow type.

Locally tuned hydrodynamics of active polymer chains
Simulations show that the location of the counterforce on the fluid, not just the active monomer, determines whether an active polymer creates pusher or puller flow fields, and that stiff chains transmit forces in a way that can flip the expected flow type.
