چکیده
We discuss recent progress in hybrid atomistic-continuum methods with particular emphasis on developments in boundary condition imposition in molecular simulations, an essential ingredient of hybrid methods. Both Dirichlet (state variable) and flux boundary conditions are discussed. We also briefly review various coupling approaches and discuss the effects of compressibility and molecular fluctuations on the choice of coupling method. Common elements between hybrid methods and related multiscale simulation approaches are also

Hybrid atomistic-continuum methods for multiscale hydrodynamics
We discuss hybrid atomistic-continuum methods for multiscale hydrodynamic applications. Both dense fluid and dilute gas formulations are considered. The choice of coupling method and its relation to the fluid physics is discussed. The differences in hybrid methods resulting from underlying compressible and incompressible continuum formulations as well as the importance of timescale decoupling a...
متن کامل[draft] Imece2003-41251 3–dimensional Hybrid Continuum–atomistic Simulations for Multiscale Hydrodynamics
We present an adaptive mesh and algorithmic refinement (AMAR) scheme for modeling multi–scale hydrodynamics. The AMAR approach extends standard conservative adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) algorithms by providing a robust flux–based method for coupling an atomistic fluid representation to a continuum model. The atomistic model is applied locally in regions where the continuum description is inva...

متن کاملHybrid molecular-continuum fluid dynamics.
We describe recent developments in the hybrid atomistic/continuum modelling of dense fluids. We discuss the general implementation of mass, momentum and energy transfers between a region described by molecular dynamics and a neighbouring domain described by the Navier-Stokes equations for unsteady continuum fluid flow.
متن کاملConcurrent multiscale modelling of atomistic and hydrodynamic processes in liquids.
Fluctuations of liquids at the scales where the hydrodynamic and atomistic descriptions overlap are considered. The importance of these fluctuations for atomistic motions is discussed and examples of their accurate modelling with a multi-space-time-scale fluctuating hydrodynamics scheme are provided. To resolve microscopic details of liquid systems, including biomolecular solutions, together wi...
