Numerical Analysis of a Floating Harbor System and Comparison with Experimental Results
(2011-08-08)
As a comparative study, the global performance of two cases for a floating harbor system are researched by numerical analysis and compared with results from experiments: one is a two-body case such that a floating quay is ...
Compositional Simulation of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery in Unconventional Liquid Reservoirs
(2015-08-19)
After implications of hydraulic fracturing operations, the commercial production of tight formations and shale plays were successfully achieved in past decades. The industry now shifts its interest in enhancing the production ...
Inter-stage and Performance Tests of a Two-stage High-pressure Turbine
(2011-08-08)
The existing 3-stage research turbine at Turbomachinery Performance and Flow Research Laboratory (TPFL) facility, Texas A & M University (TAMU) was replaced with a newly designed and manufactured 2-stage turbine in accordance ...
Study of Catcher Bearings for High Temperature Magnetic Bearing Application
(2011-08-08)
The Electron Energy Corporation (EEC) along with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in collaboration with Vibration Control and Electro mechanics Lab (VCEL), Texas A & M University, College Station, TX ...
Analysis of the Black-capped Vireo and White-eyed Vireo Nest Predator assemblages
(2011-08-08)
Predation is the leading cause of nest failure in songbirds. My study identified nest predators of black-capped vireos and white-eyed vireos, quantified the activity of potential predator species, examined the relationships ...
Performance-Guided Character Bind Pose for Deformations
(2011-08-08)
Current production methods for creating a motion system for a deformable digital character model involve providing an underlying joint structure based o of a T-Pose, A-Pose or another arbitrary bind pose of the character. ...
A Partitioning Approach for Parallel Simulation of AC-Radial Shipboard Power Systems
(2011-08-08)
An approach to parallelize the simulation of AC-Radial Shipboard Power Systems
(SPSs) using multicore computers is presented. Time domain simulations of SPSs are
notoriously slow, due principally to the number of components, ...
An Inverse Source Location Algorithm for Radiation Portal Monitor Applications
(2011-08-08)
Radiation portal monitors are being deployed at border crossings throughout the world to prevent the smuggling of nuclear and radiological materials; however, a tension exists between security and the free-flow of commerce. ...
Minimizing Energy Consumption in a Water Distribution System: A Systems Modeling Approach
(2011-08-08)
In a water distribution system from groundwater supply, the bulk of energy consumption is expended at pump stations. These pumps pressurize the water and transport it from the aquifer to the distribution system and to ...
A Rigging Convention for Isosurface-Based Characters
(2011-08-08)
This thesis presents a prototype system for generating animation control systems for isosurface-based characters that blurs the distinction between a skeletal rig and a particle system. Managing articulation and deformation ...
