It has been established that the entangled polymer dynamics can be reasonably described by single chain models such as tube and slip-link models. Although the entanglement effect is a result of the hard-core interaction between chains,…

Recent advances in nano-rheology require that new methods and models be developed to describe the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of entangled polymeric materials and their interfaces at a molecular level of detail. In this work…

A hierarchical (triple scale) simulation methodology is presented for the prediction of the dynamical and rheological properties of high molecular weight entangled polymer melts. The methodology consists of atomistic, moderately…

This review describes the development and applications of multi-chain coarse-grained simulations for entangled polymer dynamics. The mean-field tube model has long served as the standard paradigm for describing the many-body entanglement…

We present a numerical study of the slip link model introduced by Likhtman for describing the dy- namics of dense polymer melts. After reviewing the technical aspects associated with the implemen- tation of the model, we extend previous…

Slip-spring models are valuable tools for simulating entangled polymers, bridging the gap between bead-spring models with excluded volume and network models with presumed reptation motion. This study focuses on the DPD-SS (Dissipative…

The dynamical properties of entangled polymers originate from the dynamic constraints due to the uncrossability between polymer chains. We propose a highly coarse-grained simulation model with transient bonds for such dynamically…

Although it has been established that the multi-chain slip-spring (MCSS) model can reproduce entangled polymer dynamics, the effects of model parameters have not been fully elucidated yet. In this study, we systematically investigated the…

We present a computer simulation of entangled polymer solutions at equilibrium. The chains repel each other via a soft Gaussian potential, appropriate for semi-dilute solutions at the scale of a correlation blob. The key innovation to…

We present an extensive set of simulation results for the stress relaxation in equilibrium and step-strained bead-spring polymer melts. The data allow us to explore the chain dynamics and the shear relaxation modulus, $G(t)$, into the…

We briefly review the recent advances in the rheology of entangled polymers and identify emerging research trends and outstanding challenges, especially with respect to branched polymers. Emphasis is placed on the role of well-characterized…

Current supercomputers often have a heterogeneous architecture using both CPUs and GPUs. At the same time, numerical simulation tasks frequently involve multiphysics scenarios whose components run on different hardware due to multiple…

We present a Lagrangian Heterogeneous Multiscale Method (LHMM) for simulating the non-Newtonian rheology of polymer melts in complex two-dimensional flows. The method couples Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) at the microscale with a…

Solutions of polymer chains are modelled using non-equilibrium Brownian dynamics simulations, with physically associative beads which form reversible crosslinks to establish a system-spanning physical gel network. Rheological properties…

The simulation of viscoelastic time-evolution problems described by a large number of internal variables and with a large spectrum of relaxation times requires high computational resources for their resolution. Furthermore, the internal…

Brownian dynamics simulations of fairly long, highly detailed polymer chains, at the resolution of a single Kuhn step, remains computationally prohibitive even on the modern processors. This is especially true when the beads on the chain…

We study stress relaxation in several types of entangled monodisperse linear polymer melts by comparing the shear stress relaxation modulus, $G(t)$, with the end-to-end vector autocorrelation function, $P(t)$. The study includes three…

Complex physical systems which exhibit fluid-like behavior are often modeled as non-Newtonian fluids. A crucial element of a non-Newtonian model is the rheology, which relates inner stresses with strain-rates. We propose a framework for…

A planar two-dimensional computational analysis is presented to qualify traditional and fractal vane-in-cup geometries for accurate rheometry of simple viscoplastic fluids with and without slip. Numerical simulations based on an adaptive…

A brief review is presented of the scaling of complex fluids, polymers and polyelectrolytes in solution and in confined geometry, in thermodynamical, structural and rheology properties using equilibrium and nonequilibrium dissipative…
