Although classical density functional theory provides reliable predictions for the static properties of simple equilibrium fluids under confinement, a theory of comparative accuracy for the transport coefficients has yet to emerge. Nonetheless, there is evidence that knowledge of how confinement modifies static behavior can aid in forecasting dynamics. Specifically, recent molecular simulation ...

We study the continuum limit of adjoint SU(2) LGT by means of a suppression term for Z2 monopoles. High barriers for tunnelling among different twist sectors are overcome through parallel tempering. Monopole condensation is used to study the deconfinement transition and the properties of the confined phase. Ergodicity in summing over all twist sectors allows an unbiased measure of the ’t Hooft ...

Electrochemistry is re-gaining attention among scientists because the complex interplay between electronic and chemical interfacial processes lies at the bottom of a broad range of important research disciplines like alternative energy conversion or green catalysis and synthesis. While rapid progress has been made in recent years regarding novel technological applications, the community increas...

We study the validity of the quasistatic approximation in the fully evolutionary Stokes-Darcy problem for the coupling of groundwater and surface water flows, as well as the dependence of the problem on the specific storage parameter. In the coupled equations that describe the groundwater and surface water flows for an incompressible fluid, the specific storage, S0, represents the volume of wat...

We have previously proposed that further improved functionals for density functional theory can be constructed based on the Armiento-Mattsson subsystem functional scheme if, in addition to the uniform electron gas and surface models used in the Armiento-Mattsson 2005 functional, a model for the strongly confined electron gas is also added. However, of central importance for this scheme is an in...
