Abstract: We introduce a framework for model reduction of chain models for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations, where the characteristic size of the chain, pressure, density, and temperature are preserved. The proposed methodology reduces the number of degrees of freedom required to represent a particular system with complex molecules (e.g., linear polymers). Based on geometrical considerations we map fine-grained models to a reference state through a consistent scaling of the system, where short length and fast time scales are disregarded while the properties governing the phase equilibria are preserved. Following this coarse graining process we consistently represent high molecular weight DPD chains (i.e., >200 beads per chain) with a significant reduction in the number of particles required (i.e., > 20 times the original system).
