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.

Fall 2019
In this study, we analysed numerically the behaviour of a liquid drop immersed into another immiscible liquid on a solid surface using a diffuse interface phase-field lattice Boltzmann method proposed by Mitchell et al. (Mitchell et al., 2018). The objective of the study is to assess the...

Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
DownloadSpring 2010
In oil recovery from fractured reservoirs, Dynamic Spontaneous Imbibition (DSI) plays an important role. Conventional equations used to characterize DSI neglect interfacial coupling effects (ICE). Moreover, no numerical model has considered a variable inlet saturation (S) for DSI. An iteration...

Fall 2023
As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...

Fall 2017
This research focuses on the study of mechanisms of proppant transport in reservoirs during frac-packing operation. As an attempt to improve current numerical modeling of proppant transport, a multi-module, numerical proppant, reservoir and Geomechanics simulator was developed, linked and...
