Leakage from geologic energy and carbon storage: Multiphase migration of H2 and CO2 through variably saturated porous media

The shallow fate of hydrogen leaking from storage wells, the likeliest leakage pathway, is less studied than that of carbon dioxide. Matched five-year multiphase simulations of a wellbore defect leaking into an air-filled, variably saturated section were run with only the gas cha...

Simulating UV Photolysis of Ibuprofen by Time-Dependent Excited-State Molecular Dynamics

Abstract Organic micropollutants (OMPs) undergo direct photolysis in UV processes for water treatment. Quantum yields and photoproducts are important for understanding the photochemical behavior of OMPs and optimizing UV technologies. Here, we evaluated time-dependent excited-sta...
