Query: Foundations of Dissipative Particle Dynamics   We derive a mesoscopic modeling and simulation technique that is very close
to the technique known as dissipative particle dynamics. The model is derived
from molecular dynamics by means of a systematic coarse-graining procedure.
Thus the rules governing our new form of dissipative particle dynamics reflect
the underlying molecular dynamics; in particular all the underlying
conservation laws carry over from the microscopic to the mesoscopic
descriptions. Whereas previously the dissipative particles were spheres of
fixed size and mass, now they are defined as cells on a Voronoi lattice with
variable masses and sizes. This Voronoi lattice arises naturally from the
coarse-graining procedure which may be applied iteratively and thus represents
a form of renormalisation-group mapping. It enables us to select any desired
local scale for the mesoscopic description of a given problem. Indeed, the
method may be used to deal with situations in which several different length
scales are simultaneously present. Simulations carried out with the present
scheme show good agreement with theoretical predictions for the equilibrium
behavior.
