March 2025
New Archimedes Paper published “Improving the LKP-SJT Equation of State: Application to Alkanes, Carbon Dioxide and their Mixtures”. Congratulations to Fabian Sabozin and Monika Thol (Sub-Project B4) and Andreas Jäger (Sub-Project B2).
January 2025
At the beginning of the new year, we held a virtual Full Research Unit Meeting on January 9. The subprojects informed each other about the latest status of their research work. Overall, after nine months of the Archimedes research unit, it became clear that the research unit has got off to a good start and that the sub-projects are already working very well together.
We also warmly welcomed Prof. Dominik Krug, newly appointed professor of the Chair of Fluid Mechanics and Institute of Aerodynamics at RWTH Aachen University. He will support the research unit as part of subproject A3. We are looking forward to a successful collaboration with Archimedes.
We are already looking forward to our in-person gathering this July in Aachen
