This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Vega Mesquida, Ileana Magdalena
The rise in motor vehicle ownership has become not only an environmental issue, but also a public health threat as pollutants emitted negatively affect human health (Deng et al., 2017). One such pollutant is particulate matter, which has been regulated by a variety of countries because it...

This work is devoted to CFD-based numerical studies of oil separation from sand particles under the influence of water flow velocity. A single micro-scale (diameter of 100nm) particle is covered by a thin oil film which is immersed in a uniform flow. The oil-particle separation has been modeled...

Hosseininejad, Seyed Shaham Aldin
To overcome the challenges of low recovery of fine particles in flotation processes, designing a cavitating device that can enhance the recovery has been a major topic of study. In the design of a cavitating device, the bubble/bubble interactions, bubble response to the change of local pressure,...

Current oil sands mining and bitumen extraction methods produce a significant amount of tailings. Recent legislation in Alberta aims to guarantee operators treat their tailings and reclaim them 10 years after the end of mine life. Since 2012, oil sand companies have spent more than $1.3 billion...

Fall 2022
Complex concentrated slurry flows in horizontal pipelines are widely seen in many industries for transportation of solid particles or process wastes. i.e., tailings. Slurry flows can occur in a turbulent regime, and the carrier fluid usually shows a non–Newtonian behavior. Understanding the flow...

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a process in which coal is converted to syngas in-situ. UCG has gained popularity recently as it could be used to extract energy of deep-lying coal seams, and it reduces the footprints attributed to the gasification process. In this study, two models have...

Fall 2015
This work is devoted to the CFD analysis of multiphase flow using Euler-Euler model. In particular, Euler-Euler multiphase model is applied to study numerically the behaviour of gas-solid system and solid-liquid system. The main objective of this work is to validate Euler-Euler multiphase model...

Experimental and numerical simulation of degradation of pollutants in water by microbubble-enhanced cold plasma activation -Degradation - Effect of pollutants’ initial concentration
DownloadSpring 2024
The necessity to secure reliable water resources has always been a challenge for human societies. Numerous factors contribute to heightened concerns, often resulting in serious crises for governments striving to ensure the provision of clean potable water for diverse purposes. At the same time,...

Spring 2020
The main objective of the present study is to experimentally and numerical studies of hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in the Venturi tubes, in order to validate and further develop numerical multiphase flow models with the obtained data. To achieve this, a visible experimental set-up was...

This thesis reports the study of flow inside a honeycomb type substrate. Honeycomb monoliths are extensively used in the automotive industry, as substrates in the exhaust gas after-treatment system. The flow approaching a honeycomb monolith is usually highly turbulent; However, once entering the...
