Smeared Modeling of Hydraulic Fracture Using Partially Coupled Reservoir and Geomechanics Simulators
Download2019-01-01
Morteza Roostaei, Siavash Taghipoor, Alireza Nouri, Vahidoddin Fattahpour, Dave Chan
There are aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process that remain unresolved for weakly consolidated sandstones. These issues include fracture modes and geometries for weak sandstones, and higher-than-expected fracture pressure in some field projects. The development of shear bands and the...

Stability and Intervehicle Distance Analysis of Vehicular Platoons: Highlighting the Impact of Bidirectional Communication Topologies
Download2024-02-18
Amir Zakerimanesh, Tony Z. Qiu, Mahdi Tavakoli
Vehicular platooning, a configuration comprising a leading vehicle and multiple follower vehicles (FVs) seeks to achieve and maintain specific intervehicle distances (IDs) while synchronizing FVs with the velocity and acceleration of the leading vehicle. Before attaining a desired stable state,...

Stream invertebrate community structure at Canadian oil sands development is linked to concentration of bitumen-derived contaminants
Stream invertebrate community structure at Canadian oil sands development is linked to concentration of bitumen-derived contaminants
Download2017-01-01
In Canada, the Athabasca oil sands deposits are a source of bitumen-derived contaminants, reaching the aquatic environment via various natural and anthropogenic pathways. The ecological effects of these contaminants are under debate. To quantify the effects of bitumen-derived contaminants we...

Sulfide Production and Management in Municipal Stormwater Retention Ponds
2016-01-01
Jeffrey Ku; Jiaming Liang; Ania Ulrich; Yang Liu
Municipal stormwater retention ponds are a means of managing stormwater in urban settings. Numerous contaminants collect in stormwater retention ponds, creating problems such as odor. Because of the complex and variable nature of stormwater quality, a comprehensive study involving both a field...

Supply-and-demand models for exploring relationships between smaller airports and neighboring hub airports in the US
Download2019-11-06
Airport passenger leakage is the phenomenon of air passengers choosing to travel longer distances to access 6 more extensive air services offered by airlines at an out-of-region hub (or, substitute) airport, instead of using their local airports. Airport leakage can cause further reduction in...
