(2018-03-28)In this research we present a numerical substitute for laboratory experiments through simulating a core sample fully bounded by the wetting phase to represent cocurrent and countercurrent spontaneous imbibition (SI) ...
-
(2009-05-15)A combination of in situ sampling and numerical modeling was used to investigate the effects of mesoscale (<50 km) circulation patterns and stratification on the evolution of hypoxia on the Louisiana Shelf. Temperature, ...
-
(2015-12-16)Groups of in-line piles connected by beams are being used to contain errant vehicles for perimeter protection of infrastructures. Moreover, piles can be used as roadside safety devices resisting against impact loading. The ...
-
(2022-12-01)The use of fiber-optics in reservoir surveillance can bring valuable insights to fracture geometry and fracture-hit identification, stage communication, and perforation cluster fluid distribution in hydraulic fracturing ...

(2009-05-15)Of all the trace elements emitted during coal combustion, mercury is most problematic. Mercury from the atmosphere enters into oceanic and terrestrial waters. Part of the inorganic Hg in water is converted into organic Hg ...
-
(2018-11-09)The objective of this research is to investigate the soil behavior surrounding a typical fullscale pile foundation of a large building under cyclic thermal loading from the application of geothermal foundation technology ...
-
(2012-10-19)The formation of aeolian ripples has been modeled, quite successfully, using discrete approaches like cellular automaton models. Numerical analysis of continuum models to obtain similar success in modeling ripple evolution, ...

Numerical Investigation of Controls on Megathrust Earthquakes Along the Japan Trench Subduction Zone (2018-11-05)The goal of this dissertation is to investigate physical conditions that control the generation of megathrust earthquakes, such as the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku earthquake, along the Japan Trench subduction zone. Understanding ...

(2013-09-27)Microbial mats are layered, surface-attached communities of microorganism that live under stagnant or moving bodies of water. Active precipitations of minerals often occur around these spatially arranged communities, forming ...
-
(2020-04-14)In offshore engineering, especially for the construction of offshore wind farms, vibratory driven piles are increasingly appealing. Compared with conventional impact piles, vibratory piles have the advantages of less noise ...
-
(2020-01-30)This dissertation is on measuring the permeability of the unconventional rock samples in the laboratory in order to understand the flow of single-phase and multi-phase fluids in these rocks. Steady-state flow measurements ...
