Our research group has a broad portfolio of activities within equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We combine experiments, theory and molecular simulations to address a variety of scientific and industrially relevant challenges, where sustainability and development of fundamental knowledge is important. Our lines of research are:

New paper on the entropy production in shock waves

The paper entitled Theory and simulation of shock waves: Entropy production and energy conversion has been published in Phys. Rev. E. In the paper, we have investigated shock waves by use of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. We have also considered ...
