An implementation of no-slip boundary conditions in DPD

Abstract

We report an implementation of the no-slip boundary condition in the modeling of solid boundaries by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. Stimulated by a model for several types of solid boundaries, we develop an implementation that satisfies no-slip boundary condition with practically no-density distortion near the boundaries. The model is implemented to simulate the planar Poiseuille and Couette flows, as well as the flow through a contraction and diffusion channel. Results compare excellently with the previous methods.
