Multiscale Simulation of Entangled Polymer Melt with Elastic Deformation

To predict flow behavior of entangled polymer melt, we have developed multiscale simulation composed of Lagrangian fluid particle simulation and coarse-grained polymer dynamics simulation. We have introduced a particle deformation in the Lagrangian fluid particle simulation to describe elongation flow at a local point. The particle deformation is obtained to be consistent with the local polymer deformation.
