With the means of mesoscopic simulation techniques it is possible to simulate the complex dynamical behavior of hundreds of thousands of molecules on a time scale up to seconds.

To do that a certain number of atoms are grouped to form a so-called "bead" which then is the unit for the simulation.

With these methods it is possible to study the phase behavior of surfactants, polymers, polymer blends, liquid crystals, lipids etc. Streaming processes such as the adsorption behavior of macromolecules on solid body surfaces can be simulated.
