Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...

Consider an open control volume consisting of a porous medium submerged in a surrounding ambient fluid of density ρa. The top and bottom of the control volume allow ambient fluid to enter the porous medium. Saline fluid of density ρs>ρa is supplied at a constant rate of Qo near the top of the...

This dissertation characterizes the wake dynamics of long depth-ratio wall-mounted rectangular cylinders at a range of Reynolds numbers between 250-1000 at different incidence (yaw) angles, 0° - 45° with respect to the free stream flow. The effect of large depth-ratio on flow characteristics and...

Thunderstorms have the potential to produce severe weather and can result in significant financial and human losses. The province of Alberta is one of Canada’s most active thunderstorm regions, with the record for insured damage due to hail. Therefore, it is crucial that thunderstorm forecasts be...

A 90 mm diameter methanol pool fire was investigated experimentally and analytically. Aiming for well-defined experiments and understanding the physics of the involved transport processes, the liquid-side boundary conditions including the pool’s bottom temperature the wall thermal conductivity...

Nonlinearity in the Navier-Stokes equations can originate from a variety of sources, such as contributions stemming from the advective term, constitutive closure models or external factors such as chemical reactions and capillarity. Needless to say, a combination of any of the above sources has...

In this thesis we study MT from giant and subgiant donors in binary stars. We develop a MT simulation framework based on the MESA set of stellar libraries, which is suitable to study extremely high MT rates and predict the stability of MT. We find that the MT from giant donors is much more stable...

NUMERICAL AND SEMI-EMPIRICAL MODELING OF PARTICLES UNDERGOING PHASE CHANGE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CONVECTION
DownloadFall 2016
This work is devoted to the development and validation of subgrid models describing heat and mass transfer between the bulk flow of gas/liquid and a moving particle undergoing phase change under the influence of free/mixed/forced convection. Such kind of submodels plays the role of ’scale...

Numerical Simulations of Anelastic and Boussinesq Rotating Convection with Radial Entropy Gradient Boundary Conditions
DownloadFall 2017
Observations from the gas giants Jupiter or Saturn allow for researchers to construct geophysical fluid dynamical numerical models in an attempt to replicate the observed features. Most models aim at replicating the zonal jets and the eddies observed on these gas giants to understand how they are...

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...
