A deterministic multiscale approach for simulating dilute polymeric fluids

We introduce a numerical method for solving the coupled Navier-Stokes-Fokker-Planck model (i.e. a micro-macro model) for dilute polymeric fluids where polymer molecules are modelled as FENE dumbbells. The Fokker-Planck equation is posed on a high-dimensional domain and is therefore challenging from...
