On the Simulation of Kinetic Theory Models of Complex Fluids Using the Fokker-Planck Approach

Abstract: Models of kinetic theory provide a coarse-grained description of molecular configurations wherein atomistic processes are ignored. The Fokker-Planck equation related to the kinetic theory descriptions must be solved for the distribution function in both physical and configuration spaces. When the model involves high dimensional spaces (including physical and conformation spaces and time) standard discretization techniques fail due to excessive computation requirements. In this paper, we revisit some model redu… Show more

“…This technique, originally described and applied to multi-bead-spring FENE models of polymeric liquids in [3], was extended to transient models of such complex fluids in [4]. More complex models (involving different couplings and non-linearities) based on the reptation theory of polymeric liquids were analyzed in [34].…”

“…If one proceeds to the solution of a model defined in a space of dimension N by using a standard mesh based discretization technique, where M nodes are used for discretizing each space coordinate, the resulting number of nodes reaches the astronomical value of M N . With M = 1000 (a very coarse description in practice) and N = 30 (a very simple model) the numerical complexity results 10 90 . It is important to recall that 10 80 is the presumed number of elementary particles in the universe!…”

“…This technique was successfully applied for solving multidimensional models encountered in the kinetic theory description of complex fluids, involving steady state and transient linear and non-linear models [2][3][4]32]. Time-space separated representations were originally introduced many years ago by P. Ladeveze for addressing complex time-dependent nonlinear models within the LATIN framework (see [26] and the references therein).…”
