We study the origin of Na I absorbing gas in ultraluminous infrared galaxies motivated by the recent observations by Martin of extremely superthermal linewidths in this cool gas. We model the effects of repeated supernova explosions driving…
The absorption by gas toward background continuum sources informs us about the cosmic density of gas components as well as the hosts responsible for the absorption (galaxies, clusters, cosmic filaments). Cosmic absorption line distributions…
We discuss moderate resolution spectra of the NaD absorption-line in a sample of 32 far-IR-bright starburst galaxies. In 18 cases, the line is produced primarily by interstellar gas, and in 12 of these it is blueshifted by over 100 km/s…
We test the recently developed hierarchy of diffusive moment closures for gas dynamics together with the near-wall viscosity scaling on the Poiseuille flow of argon and nitrogen in a one micrometer wide channel, and compare it against the…
We present the state-of-the-art theoretical modeling, molecular simulation, and coarse-graining strategies for the transport of gases and liquids in nanoporous materials (pore size 1-100 nm). Special emphasis is placed on the transport of…
In fluid transport across nanopores, there is a fundamental dissipation that arises from the connection between the pore and the macroscopic reservoirs. This entrance effect can hinder the whole transport in certain situations, for short…
The work described is concerned with the way micron-size particles attached to a surface are resuspended when exposed to a turbulent flow. An improved version of the Rock'n'Roll model (Reeks and Hall, 2001) is developed where this model…
$\text{CO}_{2}$ flooding is central to carbon utilization technologies, yet conventional waterflooding models fail to capture the complex interactions between CO$_2$ and formation fluids. In this study, one- and two-dimensional nuclear…
Shale gas plays an important role in reducing pollution and adjusting the structure of world energy. Gas content estimation is particularly significant in shale gas resource evaluation. There exist various estimation methods, such as first…

Under cold conditions in dense cores, gas-phase molecules and atoms are depleted from the gas-phase to the surface of interstellar grains. Considering the time scales and physical conditions within these cores, a portion of these molecules…

The adsorption phenomenon of neutral particles from the limiting surfaces of the sample in the Langmuir approximation is investigated. The diffusion equation regulating the redistribution of particles in the bulk is assumed to be of…
Single-file diffusion refers to the Brownian motion in narrow channels where particles cannot pass each other. In such processes, the diffusion of a tagged particle is typically normal at short times and becomes subdiffusive at long times.…
We present dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements of soft polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) and polyacrylamide(PA) polymer gels prepared with trapped bodies (latex spheres or maghemite nanoparticles). We show that the anomalous…
