In this work, the univariant two-phase coexistence line of the hydrate of tetrahydrofuran (THF) is determined from 100 to 1000 bar by molecular dynamics simulations. The study is carried out by putting in contact a THF hydrate phase with a…
Carbon dioxide hydrates are ice-like nonstoichiometric inclusion solid compounds with importance to global climate change, and gas transportation and storage. The thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms that control carbon dioxide nucleation…
We investigate the effect of pressure on the carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) hydrate-water interfacial free energy along its dissociation line using advanced computer simulation techniques. In previous works, we have determined the interfacial…
In this work we study the ice-water interface under coexistence conditions by means of molecular simulations using the TIP4P/2005 water model. Following the methodology proposed by Hoyt and co-workers [J. J. Hoyt, M. Asta and A. Karma,…
The interfacial free energy between a crystal and a fluid, {\gamma} cf, is a highly relevant parameter in phenomena such as wetting or crystal nucleation and growth. Due to the difficulty of measuring {\gamma} cf experimentally, computer…

We develop a methodology for the calculation of surface free energies based on the probability distribution of a wandering interface. Using a simple extension of the NpT sampling, we allow the interface area to randomly probe the available…
The interface between liquid water and the Pt(111) metal surface is characterized structurally and thermodynamically via reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations within the ReaxFF framework. The formation of a distinct buckled adsorbate…
An accurate prediction of the surface potential at the air-water interface is critical to calculating ion hydration free energies and electrochemical half-cell potentials. Using Density Functional Theory (DFT), model interfacial…
The local hydration around tetrameric Hb in its T$_0$ and R$_4$ conformational substates is analyzed based on molecular dynamics simulations. Analysis of the local hydrophobicity (LH) for all residues at the $\alpha_1 \beta_2$ and $\alpha_2…
We present a probabilistic approach to water-water hydrogen bonding that allows one to obtain an analytic expression for the number of bonds per water molecule as a function of both its distance to a hydrophobic particle and hydrophobe…
We perform a study of the interfacial properties of a model suspension of hard sphere colloids with diameter $\sigma_c$ and non-adsorbing ideal polymer coils with diameter $\sigma_p$. For the mixture in contact with a planar hard wall, we…
In this study, using direct digital and infrared imaging techniques, the freezing of up to three simultaneous THF hydrate droplets was investigated for the first time. Nucleation was initiated at the aqueous solution-air interface. Two…
The understanding of geochemical interactions between H2 and geofluids is of great importance for underground H2 storage but requires further study. We report the first investigation on the three-phase fluid mixture containing H2, H2O, and…
Diffuse-interface theory provides a foundation for the modeling and simulation of microstructure evolution in a very wide range of materials, and for the tracking/capturing of dynamic interfaces between different materials on larger scales.…
Simulations of gas-solid mixtures are used in many scientific and industrial applications. Two-Fluid Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (TFSPH) is an approach when gas and solids are simulated with different sets of particles interacting via…
In this review we focus on the determination of phase diagrams by computer simulation with particular attention to the fluid-solid and solid-solid equilibria. The calculation of the free energy of solid phases using the Einstein crystal and…
