Fall 2009
Internal gravity waves transport energy and momentum in both the atmosphere and the ocean. This physical process occurs at such small length scales that it is not captured by coarse resolution numerical models of weather and climate. A series of experiments is presented that model the generation...

Turbulence is a chaotic motion of fluid that can be described by the Navier--Stokes equations or even highly simplified shell models. Under the continuum limit, standard shell models of turbulence are shown to reduce to a common evolution equation that reproduces many predictions of the...

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...

Resistance and Membrane Fluidity of Endospores of Clostridium spp. During Pressure-Assisted Thermal Processing in the Presence of Antimicrobials
DownloadSpring 2012
Endospores of Clostridium spp. pose an economic threat to the food industry and put consumers at risk of foodborne illness. An increase in consumer demand for minimally-processed, ready-to-eat products has driven research to examine ways to mitigate current thermal processing severity used to...

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...
