Last week, a large part of the group visited the twenty-second symposium on thermophysical properties in Boulder, Colorado in the US. It was a very long trip with Trondheim as the starting point, but it was nice to meet so many people again in person. Five people from the group were attending. Tage Maltby presented about the development of solid-phase equations of state (EoS), Thuat Trinh presented our recent implementation of the Feynman-Hibbs corrected Mie potential in LAMMPS, Morten Hammer talked about how extrapolating into the metastable and unstable regions of the phase diagram can allow calculation of surface properties with multiparameter EoS, Vegard G. Jervell presented work about Revised Enskog theory to calculate transport properties of hydrogen, and I presented in the non-equilibrium thermodynamics session about how the local entropy production is a tool that should be used more in the modelling of transport of heat, mass and momentum through porous media. Some pictures of the team members presenting can be found below.
