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...

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...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Validation of Rooftop Wind Regime in Complex Urban Environment
DownloadSpring 2020
This thesis presents a validation methodology for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) assessments of rooftop wind regime in urban environments. A case study is carried out at the Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (DICE) building at the University of Alberta campus. A numerical assessment...

Design, Deployment, Performance and Assessment of Downhole and Near Surface Monitoring Technology for Geological CO2 Storage
DownloadSpring 2012
Early carbon storage research and development efforts in Canada and elsewhere began with “value-added” projects such as CO2-enhanced oil recovery or CO2 enhanced coalbed methane, where the increase in production helps to offset the costs of CO2 and of its potential long-term storage. These...

Developing New Methodologies to the Simulation of Emulsion Mixtures with Transport of Particles in OpenFOAM
DownloadFall 2022
Sand separators are commonly equipped inline in the oil and gas production to separate produced sand from the extracted fluids, usually a mixture of oil, water and gas. To ensure the equipment can satisfy the work conditions, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used. However, the...

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,...
