  • Modeling Flow and Transport at Pore Scale with Obstructions

    Creator:
    Umhoefer, Joseph G.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis we study mathematical and computational models for phenomena of flow and transport in porous media in the presence of changing pore scale geometries. The differential equations for the flow and transport models at Darcy scale involve the coefficients of permeability, porosity, and tortuosity which depend on the...

  • Virtual Element Methods for Magnetohydrodynamics on General Polygonal and Polyhedral Meshes

    Creator:
    Naranjo, Sebastián
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to construct a virtual element method (VEM) for models in magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), an area that studies the behavior and properties of electrically conducting fluids such as a plasma. MHD models are a coupling of the Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetics and models for fluid flow....

  • A moving boundary model of calcium alginate gel formation and the estimation of diffusion and mass transfer coefficients

    Creator:
    Inoue, Shawna K.
    Abstract:
    Calcium alginate gels are widely used in the biotechnology, food, and pharmaceutical industries for cell immobilization, food additives, and controlling the release of therapeutic agents. Different gelation conditions can lead to different gel structures which affects the diffusion of solutes in gels, thus mathematical models were developed to describe diffusion...
