Abstract
A lattice-gas model is constructed that incorporates excluded-volume interactions between the particles and allows for flexible multiparticle structures. With this model, a flexible polymer in a sea of solvent is simulated. As a result, static and dynamic scaling behaviour is observed for the first time in a simulation that takes both excluded-volume and hydrodynamic interactions into account.
