The characterization of gas migration through low-permeability clay formations has been a focus of R&D programs for radioactive waste disposal, which is also of great importance for shale-gas exploration, and cap-rock behavior of hydrocarbon reservoirs and CO2 sequestration. Laboratory tests on Opalinus clay cores from a shallow borehole in the Mont Terri Underground Research Laboratory (URL) a...

geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...

The method of multi-particle collision dynamics (MPCD) and its different implementations are commonly used in the field soft matter physics to simulate fluid flow at micron scale. Typically, coarse-grained particles described by equation state an ideal gas, is rather compressible. This contrast conventional fluids, which incompressible for velocities much below speed sound, can cause inhomogene...

Abstract Based on the jet stability theory, under conditions of gas rotation, fluid compressibility and supercavitation, this paper gives mathematical model describing thermal instability supercavitating liquid surrounded by a coaxial rotary gas, corresponding numerical method for solving is proposed verified data in reference. Then, analyzes effects gas–liquid temperature differences gradients...

using the lennard-jones (12-6) potential, a new equation of state is obtained that can predict properties of both gases and liquids relatively well. this equation of state is given as (z-a)v2=(a/v2)-b, where z is the compressibility factor, a and b are constants, and a is an adjustable parameter that depends on the temperature, volume and the nature of the fluid, and its expressions depends upo...

The urgency of development and metrological research reference installations based on high-pressure vessels, which meet the requirements implementation traceability instruments for measuring gas volume flow rate, is considered. operation algorithm specified when transferring unit to meters under consideration studied. Based features PVTt-type standards, a list analysed uncertainties type A form...

Instabilities play a central role in the physics of foams. Some that change the topology of a dry foam are indicated by the laws promulgated by Plateau in his 1873 book. Their occurrence is less clearly predictable in wet foams. Various other instabilities are related to gravitational loading and gas compressibility. We gather up many examples as a guide to future research and identify problems...

We study the photoluminescence spectrum of a low-density (nu<1) two-dimensional electron gas at high magnetic fields and low temperatures. We find that the spectrum in the fractional quantum Hall regime can be understood in terms of singlet and triplet charged excitons. We show that these spectral lines are sensitive probes for the electron compressibility. We identify the dark triplet charged ...

We calculate the free energy of the quantum uniform electron gas for temperatures from near 0 to 100 times the Fermi energy, approaching the classical limit. An extension of the Vashista-Singwi theory to finite temperatures and a self-consistent compressibility sum rule is presented. Comparisons are made to other local-field correction methods, as well as recent quantum Monte Carlo simulation a...
