We present a numerical study of a trapped binary Bose-condensed gas by solving the corresponding Hartree-Fock equations. The density profile of the binary Bose gas is solved with a harmonic trapping potential as a function of temperature in two and three dimensions. We find a symmetry breaking in the two dimensional case where the two condensates separate. We also present a phase diagram in the...

We study Bose-Einstein condensates with purely dipolar interactions in oblate traps. We find that the condensate always becomes unstable to collapse when the number of particles is sufficiently large. We analyze the instability, and find that it is the trapped-gas analogue of the "roton-maxon" instability previously reported for a gas that is unconfined in 2D. In addition, we find that under ce...

We report on time-resolved measurements of the first order spatial coherence in an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate. Long-range spatial coherence is found to set in right at the onset of stimulated scattering, on a picosecond time scale. The coherence reaches its maximum value after the population and decays slowly, staying up to a few hundred picoseconds. This behavior can be qualita...

For technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) at reservoir conditions is essential. On the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of MMP. The main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential t...

This paper reports a study that employed digital three-dimensional model of the gas condensate reservoir to investigate process nitrogen injection at boundary initial gas-water contact different values duration. The calculations were performed for 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 months Based on modeling results, it was found increasing duration decreases operation time production wells until breakthroug...

Withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. Reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. Usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...

We produce a Bose-Einstein condensate of 39K atoms. Condensation of this species with a naturally small and negative scattering length is achieved by a combination of sympathetic cooling with 87Rb and direct evaporation, exploiting the magnetic tuning of both inter- and intraspecies interactions at Feshbach resonances. We explore the tunability of the self-interactions by studying the expansion...

We revisit the exciton mechanism of superconductivity in the framework of microcavity physics, replacing virtual excitons as a binding agent of Cooper pairs by excitations of an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate. We consider a model microcavity where a quantum well with a two-dimensional electron gas is sandwiched between two undoped quantum wells, where a polariton condensate is forme...
