Spring 2010
A reliable estimate of the amount of oil or gas in a reservoir is required for development decisions. Uncertainty in reserve estimates affects resource/reserve classification, investment decisions, and development decisions. There is a need to make the best decisions with an appropriate level...

In the refining industry, the cost of a power system interruption is dominated by an associated loss of production. Power distribution within a refinery includes a set of production units within a highly inter-dependent process, where the outage of a single unit affects the production of...

Reservoir and geomechanical coupled simulation of CO2 sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery
DownloadFall 2009
Coalbeds are an extremely complicated porous medium with characteristics of heterogeneity, dual porosity and stress sensitivity. In the past decades great achievements have been made to the simulation models of pressure depletion coalbed methane (CBM) recovery process and CO2 sequestration and...

Response of the Mediterranean Sea thermohaline circulation to observed changes in the winter wind stress field in the period 1980-1993
Download1999
Josey, Simon, Samuel, Sarah, Myers, Paul G., Haines, Keith
This paper seeks to model changes in deep water production in the eastern Mediterranean induced by changes in winter wind stress. An analysis of individual monthly wind stress fields over the Mediterranean for 1980–1993 from the SOC flux data set shows that an intensification of the winter mean...

Sensitivity of the subpolar North Atlantic to Last Glacial Maximum surface forcing and sea ice distribution in an eddy-permitting regional ocean model
Download2006
Myers, Paul G., Bush, Andrew B. G., Yang, Duo
The impact of paleoatmospheric forcing and sea ice distribution on the circulation of the subpolar North Atlantic is examined in a regional eddy-permitting ocean model. We focus on water mass formation and the pathway of the North Atlantic Current. Paleofluxes are obtained from a coupled...

Separating the influence of projected changes in air temperature and wind on patterns of sea level change and ocean heat content
Download2015
Saenko, Oleg A., Myers, Paul G., Gregory, Jonathan M., Yang, Duo, Spence, Paul
We present ocean model sensitivity experiments aimed at separating the influence of the projected changes in the “thermal” (near-surface air temperature) and “wind” (near-surface winds) forcing on the patterns of sea level and ocean heat content. In the North Atlantic, the distribution of sea...

Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
A two-dimensional numerical model of low-altitude auroral flux tubes has been developed for simulation of coupling between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere. The model considers a realistic ionosphere with multiple ion and neutral species, collisions, cooling and heating processes, as well as...

Schriver, David, Trávníček, Pavel M., Rankin, Robert, Paral, Jan
Two flybys of Mercury by the NASA MESSENGER spacecraft on January 14 and October 6, 2008 provide insight into the spatial distribution of the heavy ion exosphere around the planet. The relatively quiet solar wind conditions and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation allow us to compare...

The protein p53 is a key regulator of cellular response to a wide variety of stresses. In cancerous cells inhibitory regulators of the p53 protein such as MDM2 and MDMX are often overexpressed. In silico techniques could be used to inform the selection of interactions to target with novel drug...
