Spring 2020
An effective Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process requires thermal and hydraulic communication to be established between the injection and the production wells during the start-up operation. To achieve inter-well communication, the conventional steam circulation start-up operations...

Investigating Light Solvent Aided Process in Cold Lake Oil-Sand Reservoir Using Experimental and Numerical Approaches
DownloadSpring 2019
Steam assisted- gravity drainage (SAGD) is the main in-situ bitumen recovery process in which saturated steam is injected into the bitumen zone. However, it has some drawbacks, which include high-energy consumption and significant environmental concerns. Solvent Aided Process (SAP) is a method...

Fall 2024
The structural integrity of underground excavations, resource extraction processes, and the overall safety of geotechnical operations hinge on a comprehensive understanding of brittle rock failure mechanisms and the distribution of internal stress within these formations. This research sheds...

Fall 2019
In this study, we analysed numerically the behaviour of a liquid drop immersed into another immiscible liquid on a solid surface using a diffuse interface phase-field lattice Boltzmann method proposed by Mitchell et al. (Mitchell et al., 2018). The objective of the study is to assess the...

Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
Numerical simulation of dynamic spontaneous imbibition with variable inlet saturation and interfacial coupling effects using Bentsen’s transport equation
DownloadSpring 2010
In oil recovery from fractured reservoirs, Dynamic Spontaneous Imbibition (DSI) plays an important role. Conventional equations used to characterize DSI neglect interfacial coupling effects (ICE). Moreover, no numerical model has considered a variable inlet saturation (S) for DSI. An iteration...

Numerical simulation of Ricci flow on a class of manifolds with non-essential minimal surfaces
DownloadFall 2011
In the last three decades, the Ricci flow has proved to be an extremely useful tool in mathematics and physics. We explore numerically the long time existence of the Ricci-DeTurck flow and the List flow for a one-parameter family of Riemannian manifolds with non-essential minimal surfaces. This...
