Gas hydrates are of great relevance to both the oil industry and the environment. Understanding how these solid structures nucleate from aqueous solutions is essential to controlling their formation. Experimental studies have often…
In this paper, the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO$_{2}$) in water along the isobar of 400 bar is determined by computer simulations using the well-known TIP4P/Ice force field for water and TraPPE model for CO$_{2}$. In particular, the…
In this work, we determine the dissociation line of the nitrogen (N$_2$) hydrate by computer simulation using the TIP4P/Ice model for water and the TraPPE force field for N$_2$. We use the solubility method proposed recently by some of us…
Molecular simulations have provided valuable insight into the microscopic mechanisms underlying homogeneous ice nucleation. While empirical models have been used extensively to study this phenomenon, simulations based on first-principles…
Among all the freezing transitions, that of water into ice is probably the most relevant to biology, physics, geology or atmospheric science. In this work we investigate homogeneous ice nucleation by means of computer simulations. We…
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…
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…
In this work, we evaluate by means of computer simulations the rate for ice homogeneous nucleation for several water models such as TIP4P, TIP4P/2005,TIP4P/ICE, and mW (following the same procedure as in Sanz et al. [J. Am. Chem. Soc.135,…
In this work, the cryoscopic decrease effect, as a function of the NaCl concentration, on the carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) hydrate dissociation line conditions has been determined through molecular dynamic simulations. In particular, we have…
To predict the radiative forcing of clouds it is necessary to know the rate with which ice homogeneously nucleates in supercooled water. Such rate is often measured in drops to avoid the presence of impurities. At large supercooling small…

Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrates hold promising applications in capturing and separating CO2 for climate change mitigation. Understanding their behavior at the molecular level is therefore essential, and computer simulations have become…
We use computer simulations to investigate the effect of salt on homogeneous ice nucleation. The melting point of the employed solution model was obtained both by direct coexistence simulations and by thermodynamic integration from previous…
Ice formation is ubiquitous in nature, with important consequences in a variety of environments, including biological cells, soil, aircraft, transportation infrastructure and atmospheric clouds. However, its intrinsic kinetics and…

(1) Introduction: New technologies that leverage gas hydrates phenomena include carbon capture and sequestrations. These processes are often semi-continuous and require regulation of the system's flow properties for proper operation.…
Ice nucleation is a process of great relevance in physics, chemistry, technology and environmental sciences, much theoretical and experimental efforts have been devoted to its understanding, but still it remains a topic of intense research.…

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is applied to the condensation process of supersaturated vapors of methane, ethane, and carbon dioxide. Simulations of systems with up to a million particles were conducted with a massively parallel MD…
