(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)In this paper is presented a general overview of studies which aim at developing new components to be used in buildings to improve energy savings without decreasing human thermal comfort. The main features of these studies ...

(2023-01-23)Hydraulic fracturing technique has significantly evolved with larger fluid volume, more fracturing stages, and tighter perforation cluster spacing to efficiently stimulate unconventional reservoirs. Several field observations ...
-
(2010-10-12)As part of a larger effort to understand the fundamental knowledge of polymer scratch behavior, this dissertation is focused on both experimental study and numerical analysis of scratch deformation of a broad range of ...
-
(2010-01-16)The use of B-spline interpolation functions in the finite element method (FEM) is not a new subject. B-splines have been utilized in finite elements for many reasons. One reason is the higher continuity of derivatives and ...

Mechanistic Model Enhances Estimates of Solvent-Assisted Oil Recovery in Unconventional Reservoirs (2023-02-09)In this project we developed a simulator to forecast solvent-assisted enhanced oil recovery using miscible solvents in unconventional reservoirs. We modeled oil recovery using a huff-n-puff process in ultra-low permeability ...
-
(2011-10-21)In geothermal reservoirs and unconventional gas reservoirs with very low matrix permeability, fractures are the main routes of fluid flow and heat transport, so the fracture permeability change is important. In fact, ...

(2012-02-14)Squeeze Film Dampers (SFDs) are employed in high-speed Turbomachinery, particularly aircraft jet engines, to provide external damping. Despite numerous successful applications, it is widely acknowledged that the theoretical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Spontaneous imbibition plays a very important role in the displacement mechanism of non-wetting fluid in naturally fractured reservoirs. We developed a new 2D two-phase finite element numerical model, as available commercial ...
-
(2017-07-17)This thesis introduces a fully three dimensional (3D) numerical simulation method of the VIV behaviors of free span pipelines by considering the nonlinear pipe-soil interaction effect. The pipeline is modeled as a tensioned ...
