Fall 2010
A robotically-controlled actuation system has been developed and built to perform active open-loop flow control experiments on transitional and turbulent backward-facing step flows in water. Control of the reattaching shear layer used hydraulic suction-and-blowing actuation emanating from 128...

Investigation Using Polymer Additives to Mitigate Erosion in Multiphase Turbulent Pipe Flow
DownloadSpring 2019
Long chained polymers were evaluated for their impact on reducing pipe erosion during two-phase flow. The research study was compartmentalized into three categories. One of the components of this study investigated the erosion of different materials in an attempt to find a faster eroding...

This research presents the results of two interrelated sets of experiments examining the dynamics of plumes and fountains in two-layer and continuously stratified environments. The first study examines the evolution of an axisymmetric turbulent fountain in a two-layer stratified environment....

An experimental investigation of turbulent non-Newtonian fluid flow and solids transport in horizontal concentric annulus is the main subject matter of this research. In the first part of this research, turbulent flow of water and non-Newtonian fluids in horizontal annuli were investigated by...
