A New Approach to Streamline Simulation on Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery by Hot Waterflooding
(2016-07-28)
Hot waterflooding is a well-known method of thermal enhanced oil recovery. Prediction of the reservoir behavior is generally obtained through numerical simulation. The finite volume simulator is the most common tool to ...
Performance Evaluation and CFD Simulation of Multiphase Twin-Screw Pumps
(2013-05-16)
Twin-screw pumps are economical alternatives to the conventional multiphase system and are increasingly used in the oil and gas industry due to their versatility in transferring the multiphase mixture with varying Gas Void ...
Daily Time Step Simulation with a Priority Order Based Surface Water Allocation Model
(2011-02-22)
Surface water availability models often use monthly simulation time
steps for reasons of data availability, model parameter parsimony, and reduced
computational time. Representing realistic streamflow variability, ...
Simulation Development of a Large Bore Two Stroke Integral Compressor Engine to Study Variable Natural Gas Composition Effects
(2018-08-05)
The overall goal of this project is to improve upon existing engine control strategies used for large bore, lean-burn, natural gas engines in order to increase efficiency and maintain emissions compliance during variable ...
Bouquet: a Satellite Constellation Visualization Program for Walkers and Lattice Flower Constellations
(2011-10-21)
The development of the Flower Constellation theory offers an expanded framework to utilize constellations of satellites for tangible interests. To realize the full potential of this theory, the beta version of Bouquet was ...
Dynamic Control of Serial-batch Processing Systems
(2010-01-14)
This research explores how near-future information can be used to strategically control a batch processor in a serial-batch processor system setting. Specifically, improved control is attempted by using the upstream serial ...
Economic Analysis of Atoxigenic Mitigation Methods for Aflatoxin in Corn in Central Texas
(2014-04-09)
Atoxigenics and crop insurance are available to producers to assist in preventing economic loss from aflatoxin contamination in corn. Atoxigenics are a newer technology available to farmers, and although professional opinion ...
SAT-based Verification for Analog and Mixed-signal Circuits
(2012-07-16)
The wide application of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) designs makes the verification of AMS circuits an important task. However, verification of AMS circuits remains as a significant challenge even though verification ...
Stochastic Modeling and Analysis of Plant Microtubule System Characteristics
(2012-07-16)
In this dissertation, we consider a complex biological system known as cortical microtubule (CMT) system, where stochastic dynamics of the components (i.e., the CMTs) are defined in both space and time. CMTs have an inherent ...
Studies on Hazard Characterization for Performance-based Structural Design
(2010-07-14)
Performance-based engineering (PBE) requires advances in hazard
characterization, structural modeling, and nonlinear analysis techniques to fully and
efficiently develop the fragility expressions and other tools forming ...
