A Data-Driven Neural Network Model to Correct Derived Features in a RANS-Based Simulation of the Flow Around a Sharp-Edge Bluff Body
DownloadSpring 2023
In this dissertation, a machine-learning method is utilized to enhance the accuracy of wake parameters calculated by Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) k-ω SST model of flow on and around wall-mounted rectangular cylinders. Using high-quality results from Large Eddy Simulation (LES), this...

A Long-Term Integrated Assessment of Cost, Water Consumption, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of a Transition to a Low-Carbon Bitumen and Hydrogen Production
DownloadFall 2023
The growing demand for energy and the need for mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has led to increased interest from government, industry, and academia in the development of new low-carbon technologies for bitumen extraction and hydrogen production. In situ bitumen is a major...

A Mixed Integer Linear Programming Optimization Model for Capturing Expert Planning Style in Interstitial Low Dose Rate Prostate Brachytherapy
DownloadSpring 2017
Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy is a minimally invasive form of radiation therapy, used to treat prostate cancer, and it involves permanent implantation of radioactive sources (seeds) inside of the prostate gland. Treatment planning in brachytherapy involves a decision making process for the...

A Phenomenological Model for Self-rippling Energy of Free Graphene Monolayer and Its Application
DownloadSpring 2018
Several candidate phenomenological expressions are studied for self-rippling energy that drives ripple formation of free single-layer graphene sheets. One phenomenological expression is admittedbased on the stability criterion of periodic ripple mode, while all others are rejected because they...
