Fufang Yang was awarded a prestigious Marie-Curie grant, and will join the group as a postdoc for two years. In the postdoc, he will work on unraveling the fundamentals of electrolytes with chemical reactions in thin films relevant to CCS-systems.
We welcome Vitor Heitor Cardoso Cunha as a new postdoc in the group. Vitor has a strong background on combining fluid dynamics with the Cahn-Hiliard Model/Density Gradient Theory to describe interfacial effects. Vitor is also an artist. In the postdoc, Vitor will work on improving the fundamentals of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for fluids.
A new article has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics, entitled: The Limits of Feynman-Hibbs corrections in capturing quantum-nuclear contributions to thermophysical properties Feynman–Hibbs (FH) corrected interaction potentials provide an efficient route to approximating quantum-nuclear effects on properties of fluids and solids at cryogenic temperatures. In this study, we aim to provide insight into …
A new article has been published in Fluid Phase Equilibria, entitled: Viscosity, thermal conductivity and self-diffusion coefficient of the Lennard-Jones spline fluid: Evaluation of theories for a short-ranged potential. The Lennard-Jones/spline (LJ/s) potential is truncated and splined such that the potential and its first derivative continuously approach zero at 1.74 sigma, making it short-ranged. In …

Together with Prof. Jacob W. Leachman and Prof. I. Matveev, I have been so fortunate to get the opportunity to co-author the first text-book in decades on cryogenic hydrogen called Cool Fuel: The Science and Engineering of Cryogenic Hydrogen. After working on the book for several years, it has now been published and is available …

A new article has been published in Entropy, entitled: Thermodynamic Properties of Hydrogen Adsorbed on Graphite Surfaces at Temperatures Above 100 K: A Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Study Improved technological solutions for the transport and storage of hydrogen are crucial for the widespread adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier. Graphite-based materials have …
Johannes Løken will start his PhD in the group in March, 2025. His PhD is funded by the ERC project Interlab, and Johannes will help top develop a theory for the transport properties of vapor-liquid interfaces. Johannes has been in the group for a while, and is now completing his Msc. thesis. We look forward …
Sigrid Aunsmo started her PhD in the group, January 2025. She will embark on challenging topics such as the thermodynamics of electrolyte solutions, chemical reactions and thermodynamics across interfaces. Her PhD is funded by the SafeAm project, where one of the aims is to better understand what happens when liquid ammonia spills end up on …
A new article has been published in the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, entitled: Equation of State for Solid Argon Valid for Temperatures up to 300K and Pressures up to 16GPa A new equation of state (EoS) is presented for solid argon. The EoS is based on the quasi-harmonic approximation and formulated in terms …
A new article has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics, entitled: Predicting viscosities and thermal conductivities from dilute gas to dense liquid: Deriving fundamental transfer lengths for momentum and energy exchange in revised Enskog theory. Chapman–Enskog theory has long provided an accurate description of the transport properties of dilute gas mixtures. At elevated …
