Mesoscopic modelling of transport in complex fluids

Obiettivo



The aim of this project is to generalize the Lattice-Boltzmann scheme t simulate the dynamics of liquid crystals, macromolecular solutions and system with non-uniform composition.
We will consider the coupling o hydrodynamic flow to general tensorial fields that, unlike usual diffusion problems, act back on the flow. We will introduce additional 'hydrodynamical' variables to model the local molecular alignment, construct discretized constitutive relations, and describe different kinds of boundaries.
We will apply these techniques to study complex flow phenomena in anisotropic liquids, anchoring and dynamics of liquid crystals in porous media, flow in non-Newtonian fluids, dynamics of wetting in liquid crystals, and colloidal suspensions in the presence of optical fields.
We will extend a new computer technique, Dissipative Particle Dynamics, to liquid crystals.
Fundamental aspects of these models, as the consistent inclusion of noise, will be addressed.
The project will broaden a collaboration between FOM and Shell Research
