Abstract: | This paper presents a review of multiscale simulation strategies for the modelling of micro- and nanoscale flows. These have been developed in the last two decades in an attempt to bridge the application gap between molecular and continuum simulation methods preventing the simulation of many micro- and nanofluidic devices. The paper is focused on hybrid molecular-continuum methods and reviews different coupling strategies, including geometrical decomposition in conjunction with state- and flux coupling, pointwise coupling, the heterogeneous multiscale method and the equation free approach. The different applications of these methods are briefly discussed. |
