Fall 2017
This thesis studies operator splitting for flow equation coupled to a transport equation arising from two-phase (water-oil) model in reservoir simulation. We apply two different types of operator splittings and compare their accuracies. Summarized scheme and alternating triangle method (ATM) in...

Beyond Viscosity—How Density, Vibration and Interfacial Tension Affect Solvent Aided Bitumen Production
DownloadFall 2016
Bitumen and heavy oil comprise a significant percentage of proven oil reserves globally. The environmental impacts of producing these resources with current technologies is a concern for environmentalists, oil producing companies, resource rich jurisdictions and society at large. Dilution of the...

Spring 2015
Aiming to pursue studying enhanced oil recovery processes with an ex-situ produced emulsion as flooding agent, an improved core flooding experimental system was designed, constructed and commissioned. The developed system allows the use of not only emulsion, but also other flooding agents,...

Spring 2017
We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, τ→∞, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of mass transport in porous media of a PEM fuel cell
DownloadFall 2011
Porous media is an integral part of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. In this study, an experimental setup is presented to investigate convective and diffusive mass transport in porous media of fuel cell electrodes. A new theoretical model was developed in order to correct for...

Mass transfer at an organic solid – organic liquid interface within reservoir rock under creeping flow conditions
DownloadFall 2018
There is a growing recognition that knowledge gaps related to the molecular and phase state complexity of hydrocarbon resources, and their interactions within production and processing environments have begun impeding development of new or improved processes that protect the natural environment...
