Abstract
The domain is decomposed into an atomistic domain, where individual atomic interactions are
computed, and a continuum domain, where the NavierStokes equations are solved. The two
domains are coupled through an overlap region in which the solutions in both domains are
consistent. The performance of the Hybrid Atomistic Continuim model is demonstrated through
the simulation of Couette flow.
