Abstract

Dense polymer systems are modeled by self- and mutually avoiding walks on lattices. Both simple models where the step length is one lattice spacing and more complicated models where the step length is distinctly longer and may fluctuate (“bond fluctuation model”) are discussed, and it is shown that the computer simulation of such models gives useful insight to understand the thermodynamic phase behavior and the relaxational dynamics of dense polymer solutions and polymer melts. The huge demands in computing power needed for a successful simulation of such systems can be covered by parallel computers such as the multitransputer facility of the University of Mainz.
