Graphical Analysis of Fluid Flow Through Polymeric Complex Structures Using Multi-scale Simulations - Selected Topics of Computational and Experimental Fluid Mechanics - page 290

4 Conclusions
The use of simulation methods, such as DPD and SPH, at different scales makes the
study of fluid flow through complex meso-porous structures more effective. On the
other hand, computational techniques help us to build more reliable and adequate
interfaces for improving the visualization of this kind of geometries, thus facilitating
the structural analysis of complex systems.
