Abstract:
Many problems in environmental geochemistry require the development of an understanding of processes at an atomistic level. The e-Science challenge is to scale up the length and time scales of the simulation techniques from the molecular level, through the mesoscopic scale, and towards the length and time scales of human experience. The consortium will develop new methods for scaling simulations, archiving and mining of simulation output data, and visualisation of critical events. The science output will focus on fluid/surface interfaces, transport of pollutants and adsorption of pollutants to mineral surfaces.
