Middleton, Steven Mark William
A numerical model and software interface for the design and modelling of Stirling engines was presented. This model was developed to suit low-temperature Stirling engines, those that run at source temperature of less than 150 °C and run at speeds where temporarily developed losses become...

Development of a 3D Equivalent Continuum Model for Deformation Analysis of Systematically Jointed Rock Masses
DownloadFall 2013
Deformability of jointed rock masses are potentially anisotropic and non-linear due to existence of the discontinuities intersecting the rock matrix. Models to analysis the deformation of jointed rock masses are divided into two main categories: discontinuum models and equivalent continuum...

The LAB60 simulation is a coupled ocean sea-ice model (NEMO) that uses grid refinement to achieve high resolution (1/60 of a degree) within the Labrador Sea. This video shows the freshwater layer thickness (in meters), relative to a salinity of 34.8, from 2005 through the end of 2018. Higher...

A planet's magnetosphere is often very dynamic, undergoing large topological changes in response to high speed (~400 km/s) solar wind intervals, coronal mass ejections, and naturally excited plasma wave modes. Plasma waves are very effective at transporting energy throughout the ...

The Hudson Bay and James Bay are critically understudied regions of the Arctic undergoing many changes due to climate change and Arctic Amplification. Cree and Inuit communities surrounding the bay have reported drastic changes in the marine environment since the late 1990s. This thesis explores...

The thermohaline intrusion of the warm and saline Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic Ocean, referred to as “Arctic Atlantification”, has significant implications and feedback on the {thermo}dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. The AW enters the Arctic Ocean through two gateways: Fram Strait and the...
