Towards A Generic Supporting Environment For Multiscale Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiscale modelling as an emerging modelling paradigm is now widely regarded as a promising and powerful tool in various disciplines. However, a multiscale model is usually much more difficult to develop than a single-scale model due to a range of challenges. This work presents a methodology to facilitate the development of multiscale models, which comprises three main modelling steps, namely conceptual modelling, model realization and model execution. A set of proof-of-concept tools have been developed to realize the proposed methodology. A case study on the modelling of a heterogeneous chemical reactor is presented to demonstrate these tools and to illustrate the key concepts.

Towards computer-aided multiscale modelling: A generic supporting environment for model realization and execution
Computer-aided multiscale modelling (CAMM) may be carried out in three consecutive stages, namely conceptual modelling, model realization, and model execution. Following earlier work on a conceptual modelling tool which aims to support the first stage of CAMM, prototypical tools for realizing conceptual models and for the execution of simulation are developed in this work, with the assumption t...
