Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the dynamics of a flexible polymer translocation into a confined area under a driving force through a nanopore. We choose an ellipsoidal shape for the confinement and consider the dependence of the
asymmetry of the ellipsoid measured by the aspect ratio on the translocation time. Compared with an isotropic confinement (sphere), an anisotropic confinement (ellipsoid) with the same volume slows down the translocation, and the translocation time increases with increasing the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid. We further find that it takes different time for polymer translocation into the same ellipsoid through major-axis and minor-axis directions, depending on the average density of the whole chain in the ellipsoid, $phi$. For $phi$ lower than a critical value $phi_c$, the translocation through minor axis is faster, and vice versa. These complicated behaviors are interpreted by the degree of the confinement and anisotropic confinement induced folding of the translocated chain.
Using Langevin dynamics simulations, we investigate the dynamics of polymer translocation into a circular nanocontainer through a nanopore under a driving force $F$. We observe that the translocation probability initially increases and then saturates
with increasing $F$, independent of $phi$, which is the average density of the whole chain in the nanocontainer. The translocation time distribution undergoes a transition from a Gaussian distribution to an asymmetric distribution with increasing $phi$. Moreover, we find a nonuniversal scaling exponent of the translocation time as chain length, depending on $phi$ and $F$. These results are interpreted by the conformation of the translocated chain in the nanocontainer and the time of an individual segment passing through the pore during translocation.
