Research Interests
Velisa Vesovic's core research interest is in the understanding and modelling of transport phenomena of relevance to the chemical, petrochemical and environmental engineering community, by recourse to a rigorous, fundamental description of the underlying physics. The term transport phenomena is here understood in its broadest sense and the research undertaken covers a wide range of disciplines. At one end of the spectrum is fundamental research into the understanding of how the molecular interactions influence and govern the macroscopic observables, namely transport coefficients. At the other, is the applied research into modelling the transport/dispersion of species, within fluid media, associated with petroleum reservoir exploitation, industrial operations or accidental releases.
Current Research Interests
calculation of transport properties of polyatomic gases from intermolecular potentials;
modelling viscosity of fluid mixtures at high pressures;
modelling diffusion coefficients (thermal & mass) at high pressures;
modelling transport phenomena within oil reservoirs (with special emphasis on condensates and heavy oil);
modelling spreading and vaporization of LNG on water;
He has published over eighty papers and reviews in refereed scientific literature. He acts as a consultant to the chemical and petrochemical industry in the fields of computational modelling and transport phenomena.
