Nonequilibrium dynamics simulations of simple and polymeric fluids

Computer simulations on classic model systems are continuing to enable significant progress to be made in research concerning the inter-relation between dynamics, structure and rheology of simple and polymeric fluids that are under the influence of an external field. This work includes studies on flow-induced alignment, self-assembly, phase transitions, anisotropic diffusion and the validation and improvement of the underlying models and techniques. The best insight into chain-structure relationships has come from idealized models.
