项目摘要

Understanding and predicting the mesoscopic world is at the forefront of science and engineering research that underpins an emerging technological revolution that will rival the more established micro and nano science and technology in importance. Working in the emergent field of mesoscopic simulation requires a truly multidisciplinary approach that needs to span a wide range of both spatial and temporal scales and necessitates close interaction between researchers in the physical and chemical sciences, mathematics, biology, engineering and computational science. The creation of the UK Consortium on Mesoscopic Engineering Sciences (UKCOMES) brings together all the required expertise to make critical theoretical discoveries and translate these new concepts into software that is able to exploit today's and future high-end computing (HEC) hardware developments. Our work will primarily focus on the further development of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) within the DL_MESO package. The LBM has already demonstrated it is the ideal approach to simulating a broad range of mesoscale applications and UKCOMES will seek to transform the DL_MESO suite into a world-leading software package that will incorporate state-of-the-art algorithms for handling interfacial flows, droplet motion, non-Newtonian fluids, moving boundaries, etc. In addition, the consortium's expertise will ensure DL_MESO will run efficiently on computer platforms with more than 100,000 cores and will be able to embrace GPU technology. The impact of UKCOMES will be felt in the pharmaceutical, chemical, environmental, manufacturing and process industries and so on. Designers, developers and manufacturers will benefit from an enhanced modelling and design capability, e.g. designing future droplet-based micro-fluidic systems, novel ink jet or laser printing, spray drying and micro-encapsulation. In the longer term, the work of UKCOMES will impact simulation tools in a wide range of cognate industries concerned with multiphase, multi-species and non-equilibrium transport physics, including modern materials processing, and chemical and environmental engineering.

理解和预测介观世界是科学和工程研究的前沿，这是一场新兴技术革命的基础，它的重要性将与更成熟的微米和纳米科学技术相媲美。在介观模拟的新兴领域工作需要一个真正的多学科方法，需要跨越广泛的空间和时间尺度，并需要在物理和化学科学，数学，生物学，工程和计算科学的研究人员之间的密切互动。英国介观工程科学联盟（UKCOMES）的成立汇集了所有必要的专业知识，以进行关键的理论发现，并将这些新概念转化为能够利用当今和未来高端计算（HEC）硬件开发的软件。我们的工作将主要集中在DL_MESO包中的晶格玻尔兹曼方法（LBM）的进一步发展。LBM已经证明它是模拟广泛的中尺度应用的理想方法，UKCOMES将寻求将DL_MESO套件转换为世界领先的软件包，该软件包将包含处理界面流、液滴运动、非牛顿流体、移动边界等的最先进算法。该联盟的专业知识将确保DL_MESO能够在拥有超过100，000个核心的计算机平台上高效运行，并能够采用GPU技术。UKCOMES的影响将遍及制药、化工、环保、制造和加工等行业，设计师、开发商和制造商将从增强的建模和设计能力中受益，例如设计未来的液滴微流控系统、新型喷墨或激光打印、喷雾干燥和微封装。从长远来看，UKCOMES的工作将影响与多相，多物种和非平衡运输物理学有关的广泛同源行业的模拟工具，包括现代材料加工，化学和环境工程。
