The increasing interest in microfluidic applications in recent years resulted in a constantly growing demand for computational fluid dynamics on micro-/mesoscopic scales. The corresponding methods have evolved from a topic mainly of relevance for fundamental research to a crucial tool for engineering applications. The physically correct modeling of the boundary interactions is critical on these scales, as the influence of boundary effects increases inversely proportionally with the characteristic length. Mesoscopic particle-based approaches, that is, methods where the fluid is modeled using discrete particles, are able to capture these effects correctly. The applicability of many existing simulation tools, however, is rather limited with r...
