Multiscale modelling and simulation: a position paper.

چکیده
We argue that, despite the fact that the field of multiscale modelling and simulation has enjoyed significant success within the past decade, it still holds many open questions that are deemed important but so far have barely been explored. We believe that this is at least in part due to the fact that the field has been mainly developed within disciplinary silos. The principal topics that in our view would benefit from a targeted multidisciplinary research effort are related to reaching consensus as to what exactly one means by 'multiscale modelling', formulating a generic theory or calculus of multiscale modelling, applying such concepts to the urgent question of validation and verification of multiscale models, and the issue of numerical error propagation in multiscale models. Moreover, we believe that this would, in principle, also lay the foundation for more efficient, well-defined and usable multiscale computing environments. We believe that multidisciplinary research to fill in the gaps is timely, highly relevant, and with substantial potential impact on many scientific disciplines.

A FEM Multiscale Homogenization Procedure using Nanoindentation for High Performance Concrete
This paper aims to develop a numerical multiscale homogenization method for prediction of elasto-viscoplastic properties of a high performance concrete (HPC). The homogenization procedure is separated into two-levels according to the microstructure of the HPC: the mortar or matrix level and the concrete level. The elasto-viscoplastic behavior of individual microstructural phases of the matrix a...
متن کاملOn the Common Conceptual and Computational Frameworks for Multiscale Modelling
Multiscale modelling and simulation has received widespread applications in various scientific and engineering disciplines. Although these applications deal with a diverse range of systems and serve different purposes, they face a number of common challenges with respect to the construction, solution, and computer implementation of multiscale models. The solutions to these challenges could brin...
متن کاملDiagnostic goal driven modelling and simulation of multiscale process systems
Most industrial and manufacturing processes are inherently multiscale systems. The systematic way of constructing multiscale models, however, is still an open research area. It is well known [1] that a process model is jointly determined by the process system and the modelling goal. Little is known, however, about a systematic way of taking the effect of the modelling goal into account during t...
متن کاملApplication of M3GM in a Petroleum Reservoir Simulation
Reservoir formations exhibit a wide range of heterogeneity from micro to macro scales. A simulation that involves all of these data is highly time consuming or almost impossible; hence, a new method is needed to meet the computational cost. Moreover, the deformations of the reservoir are important not only to protect the uppermost equipment but also to simulate fluid pattern and petroleum produ...
متن کاملModelling Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Combination of Stochastic Sprout Spacing and Sprout Progression
Background: Angiogenesis initiated by cancerous cells is the process by which new blood vessels are formed to enhance oxygenation and growth of tumor. Objective: In this paper, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for the formation of a vascular network in tumor angiogenesis process. Methods: Our model couples an improved sprout spacing model as a stochastic mathematical model of spro...
