Fall 2017
Although evaporation is considered to be a surface phenomenon, the rate of molecular transport across a liquid–vapor boundary is strongly dependent on the coupled fluid dynamics and heat transfer in the bulk fluids. Recent experimental thermocouple measurements of the temperature field near the...

Flow Convergence and Pressure Loss Characteristics in Viscous Flow through Rectangular Orifices with Applications in Porous Media
DownloadSpring 2020
The enhanced oil recovery process known as steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) uses horizontal wells with perforations on their lateral surfaces to inject steam into, and produce oil from, oilsand reserves. Slotted liners that are used external to these wells serve as screens to minimize sand...

Particle image velocimetry/ tracking in turbulent flow over riblet surfaces with superhydrophobic coating
DownloadFall 2016
Riblet surfaces have been introduced as of one successful technique to reduce skin-friction. Advanced particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) are employed to investigate turbulent structures over riblet surfaces by several researchers including Suzuki and Kasagi...

Fall 2010
The effect of chamber length and Reynolds number on the stability and behavior of the flow field generated by a precessing jet nozzle was studied using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (StereoPIV). An algorithm was developed to determine the mode of the flow based on the distribution of...

Transition From Laminar to Turbulent Flow in Non-Newtonian Channel Flows: The Impact of Drag Reducing Polymer Additives
DownloadFall 2023
This thesis investigates the effect of a drag-reducing polymer on laminar-turbulent transition in a gravity-driven channel flow. The drag-reducing polymer is polyacrylamide (PAM) dissolved in water at concentrations of 50, 75, 100, and 150 parts per million (ppm). An extensive experimental...
