Seamless Multiscale Modeling of Complex Fluids Using Fiber Bundle Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a seamless multiscale model and an efficient coupling scheme for the study of complex fluids. The multiscale model consists of macroscale conservation laws for mass and momentum, molecular dynamics on fiber bundles, as well as the Irving-Kirkwood formula which links the macroscale stress tensor with the microscopic variables. The macroscale and microscale models are solved with a macro time step and a micro time step respectively. The two models are synchronized at each time step by exchanging the velocity gradient (from macro to micro) and the stress tensor (from micro to macro). The multiscale method is applied to study the dynamics of polymer fluids in a channel driven by external forces.

A general strategy for designing seamless multiscale methods
We present a new general framework for designing multiscale methods. Compared with previous work such as Brandt’s systematic up-scaling, the heterogeneous multiscale method and the “equation-free” approach, this new framework has the distinct feature that it does not require reinitializing the microscale model at each macro time step or each macro iteration step. In the new strategy, the macroa...
متن کاملDynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method
The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
متن کاملHeterogeneous multiscale method for the modeling of complex fluids and micro-fluidics
The framework of the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) is used to develop numerical methods for the study of macroscale dynamics of fluids in situations, where either the constitutive relation or the boundary conditions are not explicitly available and have to be inferred from microscopic models such as molecular dynamics. Continuum hydrodynamics is used as the macroscopic model, while mole...

In this paper, a system for efficient removal of carbon dioxide by hollow fiber membranes is proposed. The system is compact, and it is very useful for application in the offshore energy industries. In particular, it is used to removing CO2 from the exhaust of power generation facilities on offshore platforms.The proposed dual membrane contactor contains two types of membranes (polypropylene me...
