A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for flow through porous media.
Kiser, Chris (2011)This thesis covers the development of a model for fluid flow which incorporates computational fluid dynamics simulations using three-dimensional planar porous media networks. Porous media are introduced along with applications ... -
A three-dimensional transient numerical study and analysis of blood flow dynmaics in renal artery aneurysms.
Abdulrahim, Fadi (2017)The kidney is one of the main components of the urinary system. The main function of the kidney is filtering the blood to eliminate unwanted substances and to keep a certain concentration of red blood cells. The kidney, ... -
Analysis of cooling plate designs for fuel cell applications
M'bika, Blice Nuchka Okome (2016)In this thesis, theoretical and computational analyses of the heat exchange in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cooling plate are described. Thermal management of the fuels cells is essential to ensure high ... -
Determination of an analytical relationship between entropy generation and mixing efficiency for micromixer applications.
Gillispie, Aric Martin (2017)This thesis presents a detailed computational analysis for a simple tee micro-mixing geometry. Micromixers have broad applications in heat exchangers and lab-on-chip (LOC) devices. Simply, a micromixer seeks to efficiently ... -
Electrokinetically forced turbulence in microfluidic flow.
Duffle, Willy (2017)While laminar flow heat transfer and mixing in microfluidic geometries has been investigated experimentally, as has the effect of geometry-induced turbulence in microfluidic flow (it is well documented that turbulence ... -
Electromagnetic field distribution and power absorption of 3D spherical objects.
Collins, Timothy M., Jr. (2017)Microwave and radiofrequency heating has great promise in many engineering and biomedical applications because of its non-contact, volumetric heat generation and selective heating. However, the heating patterns and temperature ... -
Interistitial laser immunotherapy for treatment of metastatic cancer.
Joshi, Chet Raj (2011)Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Although widely used, currently available cancer treatment modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have limited effects in curing the disease and ... -
Numerical modeling and parametric study of laser ablation for fabrication in microfluidics.
Benton, Matthew James (2018)Use of CO2 lasers in the micro-fabrication processes has emerged as a promising technique for mass production of microfluidic devices. Laser micromachining offers competitive advantages over photolithographic processes ... -
Time-dependent perturbation theory approach to the quantum motion of a particle in a Paul trap.
Khadka, Achyut (2013)The main objective of this study is to investigate the quantum mechanical lifetime of a trapped ion in a Paul trap. The motivation for this research is that there are several applications of trapped ion devices such as ...
