Abstract
This paper proposes new computational technique to model micro-flows. The presented below method is based on the meso-scale description of fluid. Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) method is derived from Molecular Dynamics by means of coarse graining procedure. The dissipative particle is defined as a Voronoi cell with variable mass and size; evolves similarly to the Molecular Dynamics particles, except that inter-particle forces have additionally fluctuating, dissipative and stochastic component. This representation leads to the set of equations describing DPD approach. In this paper the outline of the DPD method for application to micro-fluidics flow is presented. DPD method in the form of Soft Fluid Particle model, was mainly applied in material science simulation. This paper presents new approach to model micro-flow by Voronoi Particle DPD method. As a particular example the gas flow in micro-channel flow is computed.
