Molecular Structure and Transport Properties of Hydrothermal Fluids under Extreme Conditions: Near-Critical, High Salinity, High Pressure and High Volatile Contents

该项目开发的实验能力、理论理解和数值模拟方法对支持对澳大利亚经济未来具有核心意义的成熟（矿产勘探和矿石加工）和新兴（地热能、地质封存）产业具有广泛的意义。该项目还提供了使用海外开发的独特技术的机会；这项技术将适应澳大利亚面临的独特挑战，并通过澳大利亚同步加速器提供给更广泛的科学界。

The experimental capabilities, theoretical understanding, and numerical modeling methods developed in this project have broad implication for supporting both well-established (mineral exploration and ore processing) and emerging (geothermal energy; geosequestration) industries of core significance for the future of Australia's economy. This project also provides access to unique technology developed overseas; this technology will be adapted for the unique challenges faced by Australia, and made available to the broader scientific community via the Australian Synchrotron.
