Relating the Dimensionless Simulation Parameters to Physical Values

Relating the Dimensionless Simulation Parameters to Physical Values 

In the following, we give an example of the relationship between our dimensionless simulation parameters and physical dimensional values. In particular, if we equate 

we gave one example of the relationship between our dimensionless simulation parameters and physical dimensional values. The characteristic time scales given in the first paragraph in this section can be rescaled for different values of the diffusion coefficient and for different length scales in the system. (Namely, the distance between two lattice sites, could be chosen to be a different value one should, however, keep in mind that the model is a mesoscale model.) 

Finally, we summarize our assumptions and indicate the limitations of our model. In particular the model (i) is valid for polymer blends at a constant temperature, which is chosen above the glass transition temperature, (ii) does not take into account hydrodynamic interactions and cross-diffusion in the system, and (iii) considers
