A multiscale method for simulating fluid interfaces covered with large molecules such as asphaltenes

- A multiscale approach for fluid interfaces covered with large molecules is presented.
- At the nanoscale, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulates the molecular fluids.
- Tension and elasticity of the interface is computed at the nanoscale.
- They are used at the macroscale in a level-set/ghost-fluid/immersed-boundary method.
- Simulation of deflating asphaltene-covered drops match crumpling seen experimentally.
