Adsorption Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Nanomaterials at Interfaces
(2015-11-10)Investigations on the adsorption dynamics or interactions of nanomaterials at interfaces have enabled applying nanotechnologies in current industrial systems effectively. In this work, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and impacts ... -
Behavior of Nano-Confined Multi-Component Fluids in Source Rocks
(2019-06-10)Source rocks, such as organic-rich shale, consist of multi-scale pore structures which include pores with sizes down to nano-scale contributing to the storage of hydrocarbons. During my Ph.D. studies, using molecular ... -
Fully Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Modeling of Discontinuities in Porous Media Incorporating High Aspect Ratio Interface Elements
(2019-05-16)The process of evolving discontinuities (in the form of fractures, cracks or fissures) in porous media is a very complex problem and possesses several challenges. This research proposal aims to progress the current ... -
Modelling Flow through Porous Media under Large Pressure Gradients
(2013-11-01)The most interesting and technologically important problems in the study of flow through porous media involve very high pressures and pressure gradients in the flow do- main such as enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide ... -
A numerical study of convection in a channel with porous baffles
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The effects on heat transfer in a two-dimensional parallel plate channel with sixteen porous baffles in a staggered arrangement with a uniform heat flux heating applied to the top and bottom walls has been numerically ... -
Theoretical and Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow in Propped Fractures
(2013-12-10)The flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media is important in many applications, such as polymer processing, heavy oil flow, and gel cleanup in propped fractures. Residual polymer gel in propped fractures results in low ... -
Towards improved methods for determining porous media multiphase flow functions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The mathematical modeling and simulation of the flow of fluid through porous media are important in many areas. Relative permeability and capillary pressure functions are macroscopic properties that are defined within ...
