Real-time temperature measurement in stochastic rotation dynamics

Many physical and chemical processes involve energy change with rates that depend sensitively on local temperature. Important examples include heterogeneously catalyzed reactions and activated desorption. Because of the multiscale nature of such systems, it is desirable to connect the macroscopic world of continuous hydrodynamic and...

Coupling mesoscale transport to catalytic surface reactions in a hybrid model

In heterogeneous catalysis, reactivity and selectivity are not only influenced by chemical processes occurring on catalytic surfaces but also by physical transport phenomena in the bulk fluid and fluid near the reactive surfaces. Because these processes take place at a large range of time and length scales, it is a challenge to model...
