Minisymposium Title: Particle-based Methods for Modeling Materials
Minisymposium Description: This mini-symposium focuses on particle-based methods for modeling materials including soft matters, energy materials and bio-inspired materials. It will include talks on theory, algorithms and diverse applications of moving least square (MLS), smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), radial basis functions (RBF), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), and other particle-based methods. Particle-based methods have advantages for modeling physical phenomena involving large-deformation of materials, moving interfaces in multiphase complex fluids, advection-dominated transport, etc. This mini-symposium will bring together researchers working on particle-based methods to share insights and to discuss progress of key challenges in this field and promote discussion of similarities between methods.
