It has been well known that turbulent motions are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. These motions are very important in governing various astrophysical processes like star formation. Both observational and numerical studies are important to understand turbulent motions, and a gap between...

This work contains investigations relevant for the study of catalytic chemical reactors using the detailed microkinetics approach, with the intent of improving the prediction of the product distribution. The study is comprised of two main topics. The first one consists of an investigation of...

There are numerous examples of dispersed turbulent two-phase flows in engineering and environmental processes. In particular, dispersed solid-liquid flows, also known as slurry flows, have many industrial applications such as transportation of coal, ore, and oil sands. Slurry transportation...

Superhydrophobic surfaces are proven to be capable of reducing the skin friction in laminar and turbulent flows. These surfaces consist of micro/nano-scale hydrophobic roughness features which make the surface render a non-wetting property due to the entrainment of air pockets between the solid...

The subject of interest for this thesis is the detachment of a turbulent boundary layer. Engineers are interested in techniques that delay or suppress flow separation entirely because the performance of many fluidic devices, such as airfoil and diffuser, are hindered by this flow phenomenon. The...
