Abstract This paper presents a numerical approach for macro-micro multi-scale modelling of visco-elastic fluid flows based on the Integrated Radial Basis Function Networks (IRBFNs) and the Stochastic Simulation Technique (SST). The extra stress is calculated using the Brownian configuration fields (BCFs) technique while the velocity field is locally approximated at a set of collocation points using 1D-IRBFNs. In this approach, the stress is decoupled from the velocity field and computed from the molecular configuration directly without the need for a closed form rheological constitutive equation. The equations governing the macro flow field are discretised using a meshless collocation method where the… More >
