Computational Fluid Dynamics Validation of Rooftop Wind Regime in Complex Urban Environment
DownloadSpring 2020
This thesis presents a validation methodology for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) assessments of rooftop wind regime in urban environments. A case study is carried out at the Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (DICE) building at the University of Alberta campus. A numerical assessment...

Developing New Methodologies to the Simulation of Emulsion Mixtures with Transport of Particles in OpenFOAM
DownloadFall 2022
Sand separators are commonly equipped inline in the oil and gas production to separate produced sand from the extracted fluids, usually a mixture of oil, water and gas. To ensure the equipment can satisfy the work conditions, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used. However, the...

Experimental and numerical simulation of degradation of pollutants in water by microbubble-enhanced cold plasma activation -Degradation - Effect of pollutants’ initial concentration
DownloadSpring 2024
The necessity to secure reliable water resources has always been a challenge for human societies. Numerous factors contribute to heightened concerns, often resulting in serious crises for governments striving to ensure the provision of clean potable water for diverse purposes. At the same time,...

Exploring the Relationship between Morphological Parameters and Hemodynamic Characteristics in Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms Using Fluid-Structure Interaction with Patient-specific Models
DownloadFall 2023
Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) is an abnormal bulge in the ascending part of the aorta. It is associated with the risk of dissection and rupture and has been known as the "silent killer". When dissection or rupture, the outcome is usually severe and associated with high mortality. To...
