Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Flows through Mini-channels and Micro-scale Orifices for SAGD Applications
DownloadSpring 2016
This experimental investigation examined the inflow to a producer well geometry found in a typical steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. The flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid through mini-channels (Dh = 0.837 µm) and micro-scale orifices (keystone slots, Dh = 0.858 µm) were...

As internal tides propagate in the ocean, they carry and dissipate energy over hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. We perform fully nonlinear simulations to examine the evolution of horizontally propagating, vertical mode-1 internal tides in non-uniformly stratified fluids, as it depends...

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...

Optimization of Drilling Fluid Rheological Properties for Improved Cuttings Transport and Dynamic Filtration Loss Control Performance: A Comparative Study of the Fluid Viscoelasticity versus the Shear Viscosity Effects
DownloadFall 2022
Recent studies highlighted the significant role of drilling fluid viscoelasticity in the assessment of frictional pressure loss, particle settling velocity, hole cleaning efficiency, and dynamic filtration loss control. Although the impact of drilling fluid viscoelasticity on the various...

Performance evaluation, wake study, and flow visualization of air and large diameter water droplets around the blade of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis presents a performance evaluation of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine, investigates the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV) to capture the flow field around a rotating blade and to track water droplets in the flow. The testing was done in a low speed wind tunnel in a highly...

Rheological behavior and nano-microstructure of complex fluids: Biomedical and Bitumen-Heavy oil applications
DownloadFall 2010
The main objective of this research was to exploit the interrelations between the rheological behavior and nano-microstructure of complex fluids in solving two state-of-the-art problems, one in the field of biomedical engineering: controlling the amount and characteristics of bioaerosol droplets...
