Molecular dynamics simulations in hybrid particle-continuum schemes: Pitfalls and caveats
2017
Heterogeneous multiscale methods (HMM) combine molecular accuracy of particle-based simulations with the computational efficiency of continuum descriptions to model flow in soft matter liquids. In these schemes, molecular simulations typically pose a computational bottleneck, which we investigate in detail in this study. We find that it is preferable to simulate many small systems as opposed to a few large systems, and that a choice of a simple isokinetic thermostat is typically sufficient while thermostats such as Lowe-Andersen allow for simulations at elevated viscosity. We discuss suitable choices for time steps and finite-size effects which arise in the limit of very small simulation bo…
Implicit-explicit and explicit projection schemes for the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations using a high-order dG method
2017
Abstract A modified version of the projection scheme [19] is proposed, which does not show a lower limit for the time step in contrast to the limits of stability observed numerically for some projection type schemes. An advantage of the proposed scheme is that the right-hand side of the Poisson equation for the pressure is independent of the time step. An explicit version of the current scheme is also provided besides the implicit-explicit one. For the implicit-explicit version, we retain divergence of the viscous terms on the right-hand side of the Poisson equation in order to achieve a higher accuracy for low Reynolds number flows. In this way, we also ensure that the Poisson equation wit…
