CH4 production from gas hydrate-bearing sediments has been considered as a potential measure to supplement global hydrocarbon resources. Natural gas hydrates, solid compounds of gas and water, are often found in the pores ...

This study investigates the effectiveness of fluid-based aerodynamic modifications to slender bluff bodies. Computational fluid dynamics was used to simulate multiple cases of fluid forcing around a two-dimensional square prism.

To build a proper numerical tool, this work takes into consideration of the fluid-structure interactions and the acoustics, and its acoustic behavior during the phonation process. The Immersed Finite Element Method, a fully ...

This dissertation examines the ability to re-choose and reshape technological development through the case of the privatization of spaceflight in the United States. In general this dissertation asks: How can contemporary ...
