Abstract
The Ising model combined with Kawasaki dynamics is applied in modeling liquid transport in fibrous materials. This meso-scale approach is especially useful in the study of materials with characteristic length scale in the range of nano- and micrometers, where conventional continuum mechanics approach is no longer valid. The technique presented in this paper represents an attempt for cross-scale modeling of physical phenomena to bridge the gap between macro behavior of a heterogeneous material system and those of its basic constituent particles. The transition from one scale to another is carried out by the so called "hand-shaking strategy." Copyright © 2006 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
