The processes responsible for generating the mean azimuthal atmospheric winds observed on Jupiter and Saturn, which feature large prograde equatorial jets and jets of alternating direction at higher latitudes, have yet to be conclusively resolved. Results from three dimensional numerical models...

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...

Vega Mesquida, Ileana Magdalena
The rise in motor vehicle ownership has become not only an environmental issue, but also a public health threat as pollutants emitted negatively affect human health (Deng et al., 2017). One such pollutant is particulate matter, which has been regulated by a variety of countries because it...

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...

Conduction and Dielectric Relaxation Mechanisms in Oil Sands Influencing Electrical Heating
DownloadFall 2016
Electrical heating has been proposed in the past as an alternative to conventional water based thermal methods for reducing viscosity of bitumen in oil sands reservoirs. This could reduce or even eliminate water use and associated problems like inefficient heat transfer in the reservoir, poor...

In this thesis, we propose the use of the polarization camera for high-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging. Specifically, observing that natural light can be attenuated differently by varying the orientation of the polarization filter, we treat the multiple images captured by the polarization camera as a...

Gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have great potential for high-power and high-frequency applications, but current leakage issues compromise their reliability. This research focuses on developing GaN metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs),...

Experimental Investigation of Near-well Fluid Mechanics on the Scaling Mechanism in Narrow Rectangular Slots
DownloadSpring 2020
This experimental study investigates the effect of near-well fluid mechanics on the scaling failure mechanism specific to SAGD production well. The scaling failure mechanism can be triggered by the pressure drop phenomenon and causes the plugging of the slots in the oilfields. The scale formation...
