Special Session 102: Kinetic models for multi-agent systems modeling socio-economic behavior
Contents
A multi-scale model based on material flow systems is investigated that is divided into a microscopic and a macroscopic model scale. On the one hand macroscopic flow models are used for large scale simulations with a large number of parts. On the other hand microscopic models are needed to describe the details of the production process. We present a hierarchy of models for material flow problems ranging from detailed microscopic models to macroscopic models using scalar conservation laws with nonlocal interaction terms. Numerical simulations are presented on all levels of the hierarchy and validated against real-data test settings.
