## Abstract

We present a multiscale hybrid particle-field scheme for the simulation of relaxation and diffusion behavior of soft condensed matter systems. It combines particle-based Brownian dynamics and field-based local dynamics in an adaptive sense such that particles can switch their level of resolution on the fly. The switching of resolution is controlled by a tuning function which can be chosen at will according to the geometry of the system. As an application, the hybrid scheme is used to study the kinetics of interfacial broadening of a polymer blend, and is validated by comparing the results to the predictions from pure Brownian dynamics and pure local dynamics calculations.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
