For the numerical simulation of flowing polymers, several mesoscopic models have been proposed in the last few years that describe polymer (hydro-)dynamics on a mesoscopic scale of several micrometers, typically. Among these methods, we like to mention dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) [168], stochastic rotation dynamics (sometimes also called multipartide collision dynamics) [33], and lattice Boltzmann algorithms [30]. Hybrid simulation schemes for polymer solutions have been developed recenfly, combining these methods for solvent dynamics with standard particle simulations of polymer beads (see Refs [32, 169, 170]). Extending the mesoscopic fluid models to nonideal fluids including polymer melts is currently in progress [30, 159,160,171].
