Molecular dynamics and self-diffusion in supercritical water
Supercritical water (SCW) which exists beyond the critical point (Tc=647.2K, Pc=221bar) is an innovative solvent to dissolve organic material. Many applications of this new solvent such as oxidation of organic wastes and separation of metals have been researched; however, the properties of SCW have …

Fluctuations, Phase Separation and Wetting Films near Liquid-Gas Critical Point
… the study of the properties of pure fluids near critical point because they become stratified under their own weight. Near the critical point, all thermodynamic properties either diverge or converge and the heating and cooling cause instabilities of the convective flow as a consequence of …

Mean-Field Free-Energy Lattice Boltzmann Method for Liquid-Vapor Interfacial Flows
This dissertation includes a theoretical and numerical development to simulate liquid-vapor flows and the applications to microchannels. First, we obtain a consistent non-local pressure equation for simulating liquid-vapor interfacial flows using mean-field free-energy theory. This new pressure …
