The fluid mechanics of floating and sinking
This thesis is concerned with the fluid mechanics of floating and sinking. More specifically, the majority of this thesis considers the role played by surface tension in allowing dense objects to float. We first derive the conditions under which objects can float at an interface between two fluids. …

Fluid mechanics tutorials in GKS supported FORTRAN
… of this thesis was to develop a collection of fluid mechanics tutorials written in FORTRAN for the IBM PC. These programs are an improvement on existing software, covering more subjects that are typically covered in introductory and intermediate courses, and including improved graphics …

The Fluid Mechanics of Hydraulic Fracturing (Oil Recovery)
… This is accomplished by pumping high pressure fluid down the wellbore in an effort to fracture the surrounding rock, and thereby, increase the effective permeability of the well. The principal goal of the present study is to determine how the time to fracture of an individual crack emanating …

Fluid mechanics of liquid drops and thin-films
The natural world is rich with fluids, like liquids, polymers, gels, which are governed by physical laws of motion. The present dissertation is a detailed theoretical, experimental, and numerical study of the complex phenomenon exhibited by liquid drops and liquid thin-films. Studying these systems …

The subsurface fluid mechanics of geologic carbon dioxide storage
… experiments, and theory to clarify the fluid mechanics of CO₂ storage, with the goal of informing two practical questions. The first question is, how much CO₂ can be stored in the United States? This question is important to clarify the role of CCS among the portfolio of other …

Fluid mechanics of bubble capture by the diving bell spider
… for a bubble capture mechanism. Bubble mechanics are studied in the pursuit of a biomimetic solution for transporting air bubbles underwater. Careful experimentation is performed to understand the mechanics of bubble formation and capture. Investigation of bubble formation through an …

The ramifications of diffusive volume transport in classical fluid mechanics
… and extending a novel reformulation of fluid mechanics, wherein the linear momentum per unit mass in a fluid continuum, m, is supposed equal to the volume velocity v[sub]v. The latter differs from the barycentric velocity V[sub]m by the vector field j[sub]v, where j[sub]v = v[sub]v - …

Stationary Configurations of Point Vortices (Morse Theory, Hamiltonian Systems, Fluid Mechanics)
The motion of point vortices in a plane of fluid is an old problem of fluid mechanics, which was given a Hamiltonian formulation by Kirchhoff. Stationary configurations are those which remain self-similar throughout the motion, and are of considerable physical interest.

Natural Ventilation of Buildings: From Fluid Mechanics to Architectural Design Guidance
… natural ventilation to be transferred from the fluid mechanics literature (where fundamental developments in the science underlying and explaining natural ventilation flows tend to be made) into architectural design guidance, which further exacerbates the barriers to knowledge exchange in …

A numerical model of cardiovascular fluid mechanics during external cardiac assist
External cardiac assist (ECA) is a noninvasive, counterpulsative method that aims to provide temporary aid to the failing heart through increased diastolic augmentation and decreased systolic after load. These counterpulsative benefits are achieved by sequentially inflating cuffs on the calves, …
