title: A computer model for hydrodynamic shearing of DNA.
abstract: A computer simulation model for the hydrodynamic shearing of DNA is presented. In this model the event space consists of a number of positions at which the DNA strand may break. The results of the model compared with the real world result are reported in this paper. Future endeavors to generalize the model would add significantly to the model's value.
