Estimation of geoacoustic parameters of ocean mud
Fayton, Joseph O. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Current geoacoustic models fail to estimate accurately the shear speed and attenuation of high-porosity marine mud, because they do not account for the physics of its colloidal and aggregation properties. Marine mud is ... -
High-order accurate partitioned schemes for conjugate heat transfer with advection-diffusion equations
Huang, Sijia (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-07)This thesis presents a high-order accurate partitioned scheme for the solution of conjugate heat transfer (CHT) problems. The scheme is based on special second-order accurate CHAMP (Conjugate Heat transfer Advanced ... -
Mathematical modeling of wildfire dynamics
Del Bene, Kevin (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Wildfires continue to pose a long-standing threat in our society. In this thesis, I derive and solve a fluid dynamics model to study a specific type of wildfire, namely, a two-dimensional flow around a rising plume above ... -
Numerical methods for fluid-structure interaction and free surface flows
Serino, Daniel A. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)In the final part of this thesis, an algorithm is developed for free surface flows driven by gravity and surface tension. Deforming composite grids are used to handle the motion of the free surface and the governing equations ... -
Numerical methods for the simulation of reactive and non-reactive compressible flow for materials with general equations of state
Hennessey, Michael P. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)In the second part of this thesis a model for multi-material flow is described, again assuming general equations of state of Mie-Gr\"uneisen form for the constituents. A corresponding high-resolution quasi-conservative ...
