Minisymposium Title: Mesoscal Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Assembly, Transport, and Reaction Processes

Minisymposium Description: The mesoscale regime is where discrete atomistic-level descriptions of complex materials and processes transition to macroscopic continuum descriptions. Often features on this length scale provide the functionality, and their description generally includes heterogeneity and fluctuations absent in macroscopic treatments. Reliable formulations are required to enable systematic coarse-graining of deterministic and stochastic atomistic descriptions while retaining certain microscopic features, and may involve, e.g., non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, stochastic PDE’s, generalized hydrodynamic formulations. This symposium will focus on non-equilibrium systems and processes: self-assembly and growth; transport and reaction in complex environments; etc., and development of related diverse modeling approaches.
