  • Effect of Active Trailing Edge Motion Upon Airfoil Energy Harvester

    Creator:
    Strahl, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    The application of a flapping foil with prescribed trailing edge motion to energy harvesting in a low reduced frequency (k = fc/U∞) regime was experimentally studied. The effects of the phase and amplitude of the applied trailing edge motion upon time-variant power extraction capability have been measured and are interpreted....

  • Broad Histogram Algorithm Comparison for the Square Well Fluid

    Creator:
    Simpson, Tanner T.
    Abstract:
    Thermodynamic properties of systems are often investigated computationally. Traditionally, thermal physics simulations are limited by their very small energy ranges and slow convergence. Broad histogram algorithms are a class of Monte Carlo algorithms that can explore an entire energy (and temperature) range in one thermal physics simulation: potentially saving months...

  • Lateral fluid motion in nucleate boiling through asymmetric surface structures

    Creator:
    Kapsenberg, Florian
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a feasibility study of a means to passively effect liquid motion parallel to a heated surface though surface geometrical modifications. Such a passive system is beneficial for electronics cooling applications as it reduces the pumping equipment normally required in flow loops and is desired for space applications,...

  • Mechanics of three-dimensional microenvironments of cells

    Creator:
    Jones, Christopher
    Abstract:
    The structure and mechanics of tissues affect many important cellular functions such as migration, differentiation, and growth. Mechanical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as ECM-mediated mechanical communication between cells, plays a part in coordinating collective cellular dy- namics during critical processes such as morphogenesis, tissue...

  • A fluid-mechanics based classification scheme for surface transient storage in riverine environments: quantitatively separating surface from hyporheic transient storage

    Creator:
    Jackson, T. R., Haggerty, R., and Apte, Sourabh V.
    Abstract:
    Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Currently, tracer techniques couple STS and HTS effects on stream nutrient cycling; however, STS resides in localized areas of the surface stream and HTS resides in the hyporheic zone. These contrasting environments result...

  • The Stokes problem of fluid mechanics, Riesz transform, and the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition : probabilistic methods and their representations

    Creator:
    Kim, HoeWoon
    Abstract:
    The flow of incompressible, viscous fluids in R³ is governed by the non-linear Navier-Stokes equations. Two common linearizations of the Navier-Stokes equations, the Stokes equations and the Oseen equations, are studied in this thesis using probabilistic methods. The incompressibility condition presents new challenges for the well known theory relating partial...

  • Theory of Inhomogeneous Fluids

    Creator:
    Krebs, Eric J.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation reports on the computational physics research in the area of inhomogeneous fluids. I first discuss the theory background for this work beginning with water, which is important for the two published articles that are presented in this work (Chapters 5 and 6). Next, I give a brief overview...

  • The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

  • Mechanics Controls Collective Cancer Invasion

    Creator:
    Alobaidi, Amani A.
    Abstract:
    Cancer cell migration in three-dimensional extracellular matrix is a major cause of death for cancer patients. Although extensive studies have elucidated detailed mechanism of single cell 3D invasion and cell-ECM interaction, 3D collective cancer invasion is still poorly understood. 3D collective migration models have unveiled unexpected degrees of diversity and...
