Towards the Multiscale Design of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Nicolas Moreno, Elnaz Zohravi, Shaghayegh Hamzehlou +6
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are soft polymeric materials that exhibit complex rheological and mechanical behavior gov- erned by the interplay between polymer architecture,…
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…
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…
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…
