Spring 2023
The fluid mechanics literature suggests that the ability to manipulate the very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) that exist within turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) would provide influence over the unwanted drag forces, noise, and vibrations associated with these flows. The ability to suppress these...

CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...

Development of an Experimental Apparatus for Studying the Effects of Acoustic Excitation on Viscosity
DownloadFall 2012
An experimental apparatus was developed capable of measuring changes in fluid viscosity occurring due to acoustic stimulation. Controls allowed measurements at simulated oil sand reservoir pressures and temperatures with near real-time data visualization. Calibration was performed...

Effect of viscoelasticity and alkali on heavy oil EOR performance using HPAM, 'AA-NVP' co- and cross-linked polymers
DownloadSpring 2014
Polymer solutions are characterized based on their viscoelasticity to improve the displacement efficiency for enhanced oil recovery. Contribution of viscoelastic polymers solution’s elasticity on oil recovery needs to be analyzed thoroughly for better screening of polymers for field operations....
