An Approach to Modeling Fuel Plate Deformations in Fluid-Structure Interactions

Creator:: Howard, Trevor
Abstract:: As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel plates. Presently, an effort is underway to support the design and qualification of a new nuclear fuel material which is intended for applications in select, plate-type, research...

On Primary Vortex Shedding Regimes between Long Tandem Plates

Creator:: Howard, Trevor Kent
Abstract:: Vortex shedding is a phenomenon relevant to any industry dealing with fluid flow. The shed vortices often produce oscillatory forces, which have been suspect in the catastrophic failure of airplanes and bridges alike. To prevent further engineering failures a better understanding of the underlying physics is needed. It has been...

Linguistic foundations and cultural diversity for the teacher education program at Oregon State University : an instructional system

Creator:: Petry, Larry L.
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study The education of culturally diverse children has been one of the focuses of education since the early 1960's. One of the factors influencing education's inability to deal with the needs of culturally diverse children is the lack of teacher's foundational knowledge of language and linguistics as...

The role of the city manager in policy making : a study of differences in the conception of actual and perception of ideal policy making roles of the city manager by elected mayors and appointed managers in small California council-manager municipalities

Creator:: Feldman, Steven, 1954-
Abstract:: In recent years, the role of the City Manager in municipal policy making has been the focus of considerable attention and debate in both the academic and local government arenas. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in views of elected mayors and appointed managers with regard...

Problems of Shape and Information in Multiscale Modeling of Transport Phenomena

Creator:: Ostvar, Sassan
Abstract:: This work is a compilation of problems that deal with multiscale analysis of transport phenomena in environmental systems. A common feature among the problems studied here is the presence of non-negligible microscale structure in various forms. Each problem is approached from the perspective that a macroscopic observable encodes aspects of...

Quantifying System Similarity Between EBR-II and the VTR Integral Test Facility Through Hierarchical Two-Tiered Scaling and RELAP5 Simulations

Creator:: Leitherer, Brett C.
Abstract:: Advanced reactor designs offer many advantages over typical Light Water Reactors (LWRs) including fast neutron capability, passive safety features, and improved performance. While the future for these reactors seems promising, operating and test experience is necessary to further validate such claims. The development of full-scale facilities has proved to be...

Scaling analysis of the OSU high temperature test facility during a pressurized conduction cooldown event using RELAP5-3D

Creator:: Castañeda, Juan A.
Abstract:: In early 2000, the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) was created to perform research and development for the next generation nuclear systems. Among the selected nuclear systems was the Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTR). Then in 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) decided that the Next Generation Nuclear...

Development of a Strain Gage Program for the Measurement of Strain on Prototypic, Plate-type, High Performance Research Reactor Fuels under Flow Testing

Creator:: Weiss, Aaron W.
Abstract:: A large, multi-year experimental program has been conducted to develop a strain gaging program for application to the flow testing of prototypic, plate-type fuel for high performance research reactors. This test program has resulted in the selection of appropriate strain gage construction, adhesives, and protective coatings to allow the acquisition...

Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

Linking Moral Obligations, Assumption-based Research, and Structured Decision Making to Inform Bull Trout Recovery

Creator:: Brignon, William R.
Abstract:: More than 1500 species of plants and animals in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Departments of Interior and Commerce are required, under Section 4(f)(1) of the ESA, to develop recovery plans for ESA-listed species under the respective agency...
