Lagrangian Heterogeneous Multiscale Method (LHMM) for Simulating Polymer Solutions/Melts Behavior under Complex Flows using DPD-SPH
Edgar A. Patiño-Nariño, Nicolas Moreno, Marco Ellero
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 Dissi…
Mesoscale Simulations of Thrombin Activation and Fibrin Formation in Microvascular and In Vitro Settings
Marina Echeverria-Ferrero, Nicolas Moreno, Marco Ellero
Blood coagulation is governed by tightly regulated reaction networks that unfold within a flowing, heterogeneous microvascular environment. Reduced kinetic models of the intrinsic…
Concentration Matters: Enhancing Particle Settling in Narrow Tilted Channels
Dipankar Kundu, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Adolfo Vázquez-Quesada +1
Particles are known to sediment faster in containers with tilted walls than in vertical ones, a phenomenon known as the Boycott effect. In this work, we investigate how the tilt an…
Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics for Mesoscale Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Problems
Marina Echeverria Ferrero, Nicolas Moreno, Marco Ellero
Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) is a widely used particle-based method for modelling soft matter systems at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, offering thermodynamic…
Computational Modelling of Thixotropic Multiphase Fluids
Andres Santiago Espinosa-Moreno, Nicolas Moreno, Marco Ellero
Multiphase systems are ubiquitous in engineering, biology, and materials science, where understanding their complex interactions and rheological behavior is crucial for advancing a…
Simulating non-Brownian suspensions with non-homogeneous Navier slip boundary conditions
Daniela Moreno-Chaparro, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Nicolas Moreno +1
Fluid-structure interactions are commonly modeled using no-slip boundary conditions. However, small deviations from these conditions can significantly alter the dynamics of suspens…
