Spatiotemporal Mapping of Polymer Dynamics

ORAL

Abstract

Polymers present unique challenges to computational science, as their structures and dynamics are characterized by a remarkably wide range of length scales and timescales. The recent advances in high performance computing systems have afforded new opportunities to investigate the slow dynamics in polymeric liquids. In this talk, we demonstrate a novel approach to resolve the fine spatiotemporal features of entangled polymer dynamics, by leveraging the computational resources at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. Potential applications of this new method will also be discussed.

*The research is supported by the Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program (LDRD) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
