21017 Computation and Theory of Phase Equilibria
OverviewThis session describes work dealing with theory, modeling, and/or simulation of phase equilibria. Both method- and application-oriented contributions are of interest. All types of phase equilibria -- involving liquids, solids, or other phases, as well as critical phenomena -- may be considered.
