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.

A Data-Driven Neural Network Model to Correct Derived Features in a RANS-Based Simulation of the Flow Around a Sharp-Edge Bluff Body
DownloadSpring 2023
In this dissertation, a machine-learning method is utilized to enhance the accuracy of wake parameters calculated by Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) k-ω SST model of flow on and around wall-mounted rectangular cylinders. Using high-quality results from Large Eddy Simulation (LES), this...

Analysis of the effectiveness of magnetic filters of shovel hydraulic system and successive hydraulic failure prediction using data-driven approaches
DownloadFall 2022
Surface mining dominates the world's production of minerals. Currently, almost all non-metallic minerals (more than 95 %), most metallic minerals (more than 90%), and a significant fraction of coal (more than 60%) are mined by surface mining methods. The hydraulic shovel-truck system forms the...
