Nucleation and growth models for hydration of cement (2012, methodology): “However, computer simulations indicate that the evolution of the solution composition is such that a burst of nucleation is expected in the first few minutes of hydration, after which a stable supersaturation is maintained [10,11].”
Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations in cementitious systems (2010, background): “solids one might include both dissolution as well as precipitation kinetics in the thermodynamic calculations [89, 91, 155].”
Improved evidence for the existence of an intermediate phase during hydration of tricalcium silicate (2010, methodology): “This study complements the conclusions drawn from a careful analysis of available experimental data [1] and computer modeling [32]”
Accelerated growth of calcium silicate hydrates: Experiments and simulations (2011, methodology): “Coming back to simulations done by Bullard [2] and using his terminology, the effect of the diffusion observed in our simulations corresponds to a transport factor of the layer equal to 1/3,2=0,313.”
