I am wondering if there is such a subject as I am about to mention, I think it may be somewhere along the lines of computational fluid dynamics.
Molecular/atomistic modeling of the components of a fluid to determine the flow properties of that fluid. This is a topic that would bridge the gaps between quantum mechanics and continuum mechanics in order to predict macroscopic properties of fluids from theoretical computation at the molecular scale of the components of a fluid.
I know materials scientists incorporate molecular modeling of solid/crystal structures to determine the properties of a solid material. Is there a field that also applies these principles, except to fluids?
Which field of studies this sort of thing? Materials science? Physics? Chemical engineering? It sounds like chemical engineering transport phenomena to me, thought I have not taken that class yet
Thanks for your time
