CONTINUUM MODELING

Introduction

Continuum modeling (CM) is a macroscopic simulation framework that represents materials as continuous media rather than discrete particles. It describes particle dynamics using spatially averaged quantities like density, velocity, and flow, governed by systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). These equations relate variables such as speed, flow, and density across continuous time and space. Parameters derived from atomistic simulations and experimental techniques are often required as inputs to enable accurate CM simulations.
