Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is one of the most efficient mesoscale coarse-grained
methodologies for modeling soft matter systems. Here, we comprehensively review the …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has numerous applications in the field of energy
research, in modelling the basic physics of combustion, multiphase flow and heat transfer; …

We report classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of four structurally diverse
model asphaltenes, a model resin, and their respective mixtures in toluene or heptane under …

Seeking highly efficient, rapid, universal, and low-cost demulsification materials to break up
the crude/heavy oil-in-water emulsion and emulsified oily wastewater at ambient conditions …

It is well known that asphaltene molecules play a significant role in stabilizing emulsions of
water in crude oil or diluted bitumen solutions. Molecular dynamics simulations were …

In the present work, we investigate, by means of theoretical simulation, the preferred
orientation of a model asphaltene molecule at the oil–water interface (monomer). The …

This paper focuses on the synthesis of micro scale Poly (methylmethacrylate-acrylic acid-
divinylbenzene) iron oxide Janus magnetic submicronic particles and the investigation of …

The atomistically-detailed molecular modelling of petroleum fluids is challenging, amongst
other aspects, due to the very diverse multicomponent and asymmetric nature of the …

This study aims to develop coarse grained models of asphalt binders and study
nanostructure and aggregation behavior of asphalt binders using Dissipative Particle …

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is an effective Lagrangian method for modeling
complex fluids in the mesoscale regime but so far it has been limited to relatively simple …
