Computer simulations and in particular mesoscopic simulation techniques such as the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) technique, enable researchers to study the complexities of soft material and polymeric systems by performing in silico experimentations alongside in vivo experiments. In addition, these mesoscopic simulations allow scientists and engineers to characterize and optimize the actual experiments in a more efficient manner. The DPD is one the most reliable mesoscopic simulation techniques for phenomenological investigation of soft matter and polymeric systems. In this review, which is complimentary to an earlier review also by the present authors on DPD methodology and complex fluid application (Moeendarbary et al., 2009), we categorize and review the notable published works, and document efforts that applied the DPD simulation technique to various important soft matter and polymeric applications, over the last decade.
