Han, Kunwoo (2009-06-02)We apply a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique to complex molecules at interfaces. Partitioning of dendritic surfactants into clay gallery and Ab protein behavior near hydrated lipids are chosen for the purpose. ...
-
Kim, Bo Hung (2010-07-14)Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of nano-scale flows typically utilize fixed lattice crystal interactions between the fluid and stationary wall molecules. This approach cannot properly model thermal interactions at the ...
-
Sudarsan, Arjun Penubolu (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Mixing of fluids at the microscale poses a variety of challenges, many of which arise from the fact that molecular diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism in the laminar flow regime. The unfavorable combination of ...

Sert, Cuneyt (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)A spectral element algorithm for solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes and heat transfer equations is developed, with an emphasis on extending the classical conforming Galerkin formulations to nonconforming spectral ...
-
Choi, Dong Chun (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)A combination of 3-D and 2-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling as well as experimental testing of the labyrinth seal with hexagonal honeycomb cells on the stator wall was performed. For the 3-D and 2-D CFD models, ...
-
Scott, Mark Robert (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)An RDD attack against the U.S. is something America needs to prepare against. If such an event occurs the ability to quickly identify the source of the radiological material used in an RDD would aid investigators in ...
-
Hahm, Jungyoon (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Spectral element based numerical solvers are developed to simulate electrokinetically driven flows for micro-fluidic applications. Based on these numerical solvers, basic phenomena and devices for electrokinetic applications ...
-
Resendiz Rosas, Celerino (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)In this work, numerical simulations of flow separation control are performed. The sep-aration control technique studied is called 'synthetic jet actuation'. The developed code employs a cell centered finite volume scheme ...
-
Kim, Sangbum (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)In part I, a numerical study of the mixed states in a mesoscopic type-II superconducting cylinder is described. Steady-state configurations and transient behavior of the magnetic vortices for various values of the applied ...
-
Shah, Tejas Jagdish (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The conventional method of thermal modeling of space payloads is expensive and cumbersome. Radiation plays an important part in the thermal modeling of space payloads because of the presence of vacuum and deep space viewing. ...
-
Kim, Ho Jun (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Periodic and chaotic dynamical systems follow deterministic equations such as Newton's laws of motion. To distinguish the difference between two systems, the initial conditions have an important role. Chaotic behaviors or ...
-
Yuan, Tao (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)In this thesis, a reduced order model (ROM) based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the transport phenomena in fluidized beds has been developed. The reduced order model is tested first on a gas-only flow. ...
-
Scipolo, Vittorio (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Tomography refers to the cross-sectional imaging of an object from either transmission or reflection data collected by illuminating the object from many different directions. Classical tomography fails to reconstruct the ...
-
Jeong, Eun-Hwan (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Three different topics of turbulence research that cover modeling, theory and model computation categories are selected and studied in depth. In the first topic, "velocity gradient dynamics in turbulence" (modeling), the ...
-
Paik, Sokwon (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)The evaporation phenomenon of a liquid droplet was investigated by using microfabricated heaters. All 32 microheaters were designed to have the same resistance. Gold microheaters worked both as temperature indicators and ...
-
Banerjee, Arindam (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)A novel gas channel experiment was constructed to study the development of high Atwood number Rayleigh-Taylor mixing. Two gas streams, one containing air and the other containing helium-air mixture, flow parallel to each ...
-
Holden, Matthew Alexander (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Herein is presented the collective experimental record of research performed in the Laboratory for Biological Surface Science. These investigations are generally classified under the category of bioanalytical surface ...
-
Park, Jaesung (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Novel microscale velocity and temperature measurement techniques were studied based on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and optical serial sectioning microscopy (OSSM). Two microscopic measurement systems were ...
-
Kim, Ho Jun (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing are performed to circumvent the difficulties of efficient mixing, which come from the lack of turbulence in microfluidic devices. In order to carry out efficient and ...
