Mesoscale algorithms

Algorithms that bridge particle-level statistical physics and continuum hydrodynamics, together with the kinetic theory that justifies them.

Closing the gap between particle physics and continuum hydrodynamics requires numerical methods that are correct in both limits.

We develop and apply lattice-Boltzmann methods and dissipative particle dynamics for soft matter, active systems and complex flows, with particular attention to the kinetic theory behind the algorithms.
