One can study such systems at the microscopic level by applying the principles of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular rheology of polymer melts. Transport properties of bulk and microscopically confined fluids. Relationship between microscopic dynamics and irreversible thermodynamics. The results of molecular simulation studies are also being used to improve the traditional basis of thermodynamic prediction.
Work is currently in progress in the following areas.
High pressure phase equilibria of binary and ternary mixtures. Intermolecular interactions in aqueous systems. Combing rules and mixture prescriptions. Equations of state for ionic systems and polymer fluids.
