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.

    floc size distribution, and the morphology of populations of aggregates from breakage experiments that were conducted in a previous study (Gustavo Cifuentes, Aggregate Breakage in Laminar Couette Flow, 2022). These experiments were performed in a Taylor-Couette cell at laminar flow conditions. The

    easier to separate than individual particles due to their larger size. Depending on the shear rate of the system, the hydrodynamic forces acting on flocs can break them into smaller fragments or induce their restructuring, which leads to the formation of small compact flocs. Aggregate breakage is an

    mechanisms in shear flows. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to investigate the breakage and restructuring of populations of aggregates in laminar shear flow via a statistical approach. A population balance model (PBM) was developed to predict the evolution of the average aggregate size, the
