A particle-based mesoscopic model for fluid dynamics has recently introduced. The model has been mainly developed for simulating a mesoscale coarse-grained dynamics for solvent-solute interaction in complex fluids such as polymers in solution and colloid suspension. In the present contribution the equilibrium properties and the relaxation dynamics of a DNA molecule are investigated. The model has proven to be fully able to capture the essential features of polymer dynamics in a good solvent. Moreover here this approach has been applied for the first time to study DNA dynamics in slit-like geometries.
