Dynamical regimes in the dissipative particle dynamics model.
We discuss theoretically the behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function in the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model. Two dynamical regimes are identified depending on the dimensionless model parameters. For low values of the dimensional friction, a mean field behavior is observed in which the kinetic theory for the DPD model provides good predictions. For high values of the friction, collective hydrodynamic effects are dominant. We have performed numerical simulations that validate the theory presented.
