About this title

Synopsis

Multi-scale and multi-physics modeling is useful and important for all areas in engineering and sciences. Particle Methods for Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics systematically addresses some major particle methods for modeling multi-scale and multi-physical problems in engineering and sciences. It contains different particle methods from atomistic scales to continuum scales, with emphasis on molecular dynamics (MD), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH).This book covers the theoretical background, numerical techniques and many interesting applications of the particle methods discussed in this text, especially in: micro-fluidics and bio-fluidics (e.g., micro drop dynamics, movement and suspension of macro-molecules, cell deformation and migration); environmental and geophysical flows (e.g., saturated and unsaturated flows in porous media and fractures); and free surface flows with possible interacting solid objects (e.g., wave impact, liquid sloshing, water entry and exit, oil spill and boom movement). The presented methodologies, techniques and example applications will benefit students, researchers and professionals in computational engineering and sciences.

From the Back Cover

This is the book first-ever published to date that comprehensively and systematically addresses the major particle methods for modelling different problems in engineering and sciences. It covers different particle methods from small scales to continuum scales, with emphasis focused on three attractive and most popular meshfree particle methods: molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics, and smoothed particle hydrodynamics.

The book covers theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation, and many interesting, novel, and practical applications in 1) microfluidics and micro drop dynamics, 2) environmental and geophysical flows, 3) coast hydrodynamics and offshore engineering, and 4) high energy phenomena such as explosion and impact. Example source codes are also provided to make this book friendly and easy to read.
