Spring 2023
This dissertation introduces a new flow analysis technique based on the Fourier-Averaged Navier- Stokes (FANS) equations. It details their application to educing the effect of fluid forces on flow physics. The derivation and interpretation of the method is described, and details of how...

Development of Prediction Tools for Improved Wear Assessment of Pipelines and Complex Geometries
DownloadSpring 2021
Particle-laden flows such as pneumatic conveying or slurry transport are common in the minerals processing and oil sands industries. These industries face the challenge of erosion wear due to the repeated impact of the entrained particles, and subsequent damage to pipelines and equipment. Many...

Spring 2015
Hydraulic transportation efficiency and production cost optimization are required in the surface extraction of Athabasca oil sand deposits. Currently, stationary pipelines are used for slurry transportation in many mines. In order to reduce the dependence on haulage truck for long haulage...

Numerical investigation of the pollutant dispersion in the heterogeneous urban settings from rooftop sources
DownloadSpring 2024
Exhaust gases emitted from roof-based sources are recognized as one of the primary sources of urban air pollution that could considerably deteriorate both outdoor and indoor air quality. Urban planners frequently use analytical and semi-empirical dispersion models to assess the pollutant...

Fall 2016
Fluidized beds offer efficient solutions for segregation of clay and bitumen pellets in the oil production industry. However, the hydrodynamics of these systems is not well-known and they are mostly operated as ``black box''. The removal of clay pellets in the mechanical separation of oil sands...

Spring 2016
The development of hydropower facilities greatly affects the morphology of regional water resources, as well as the physical, chemical and biological factors of upstream aquatic ecosystems. Evaluating the environmental impacts of hydropower operations is important in a regulatory context. Of...

Fall 2020
This dissertation looks at the response and recovery of turbulent pipeflow past square bar roughness elements with two heights at Reynolds numbers of 5000 and 156000. The response of turbulent pipeflow to multiple square bar roughness elements is also evaluated at the higher Reynolds number...
