This thesis studies operator splitting for flow equation coupled to a transport equation arising from two-phase (water-oil) model in reservoir simulation. We apply two different types of operator splittings and compare their accuracies. Summarized scheme and alternating triangle method (ATM) in...

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 commercial SAGD projects with over 300 pads and 2,700 well pairs, contributing to over 1.5 million bbl/day of production. The...

Productivity and carbon accumulation potential of transferred biofilms in reclaimed oil sands-affected wetlands
DownloadSpring 2011
Biofilms are significant contributors to primary production, nutrient cycling, bio-stabilization and the food web of wetland ecosystems. Photoautotrophic biomass (PB) and primary production (PP) were determined for biofilms exposed to various treatments and materials in wetlands near Fort...

Quantification of transport properties at pore scale is important for efficient oil extraction, improving fuel cell performance etc. An experimental methodology is developed for calculating permeability and porosity in microfluidic devices that contain structured and unstructured porous media....

Heterogeneous materials are omnipresent in several critical engineering applications such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), coal bio-conversion process, geological storage of CO2 and membrane water filtration. These applications rely on physical processes such as transport (e.g., mass,...

This study examines the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) biofilm, with a concentration of cells similar to that reported for saturated aquifers, on the transport of poly(acrylic acid) stabilized nanoscale zero valent iron (pnZVI) in 14 cm long, saturated, laboratory packed columns, with...

This thesis research concerns controlling viscous fingering instability when a less-viscous fluid pushes another more-viscous one in a porous medium. This instability is called the Saffman-Taylor instability and has been extensively studied, primarily for simple Newtonian fluids. The resultant of...

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, τ→∞, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized...
