Abstract
Cell dynamics simulation (CDS) is a very promising approach to model dynamic processes in block copolymer systems at the mesoscale level. It is difficult to implement a real time and experimentalโscale simulation with traditional serial algorithms because of the expensive computation. A parallel, spatial decompositionโbased algorithm for largeโscale CDS is proposed. With the efficient strategy of domain decomposition and the fast method of neighbouring points location, we greatly reduce the calculating and communicating cost. The numerical results indicate that the proposed parallel algorithm can provide an efficient procedure for computer simulation of block copolymer systems of experimental size.

The study of many-particle systems has increased signiยฎcantly over the past decade, because of the increasing number of useful applications it supports. Numerical experiences have shown that the force calculation contributes 90% of the total simulation time. This is an O(N 2 ) algorithm, mainly due
Transient dynamics simulations are commonly used to model phenomena such as car crashes, underwater explosions, and the response of shipping containers to high-speed impacts. Physical objects in such a simulation are typically represented by Lagrangian meshes because the meshes can move and deform w
Semiflexible models are often used to study macromolecules containing stable structural elements. Based on rigid body dynamics, we developed a rigid fragment constraint dynamics algorithm for the simulation of semiflexible macromolecules. Stable structural elements are treated as rigid fragments. Ri
