Multi-scale modelling describing thermal behaviour of polymeric materials. Scalable lattice-Boltzmann models based upon the theory of Grmela towards refined thermal performance prediction of polymeric materials at micro and nano scales.

Micrometer injection moulding is a type of moulding in which moulds have geometrical
design features on a micrometer scale that must be transferred to the
geometry of the produced part. The difficulties encountered due to very high shear
and rapid heat transfer of these systems has motivated this investigation into the
fundamental mathematics behind polymer heat transfer and associated processes.
The aim is to derive models for polymer dynamics, especially heat dynamics, that
are considerably less approximate than the ones used at present, and to translate
this into simulation and optimisation algorithms and strategies, Thereby allowing
for greater control of the various polymer processing methods at micrometer scales.
