We review the state-of-the-art of simulational approaches to understand the complex behavior of swollen hydrogels. We concentrate on molecular simulation approaches that use coarse-grained polymer models, and atomistic simulations. Continuum, finite-element, and other modeling approaches are briefly mentioned. The current understanding of the topic, as well as open problems are highlighted.
