Biosensor design utilizing particle-bound enzymes
… was used to drive mixing in an otherwise stationary fluid compartment. The performance of this design was compared against two other formats commonly employed with bio-functionalised particles – (A) a simple suspension in a microcentrifuge tube and (B) a packed bed in a microfluidic …

Mechanics of Sandbag Motion In Free-Surface Flow
… the forces affecting the sandbag motion in stationary liquid and in open channel flows. For this purpose, the drag force, the added-mass force, the settling velocity, the incipient motion, and the trajectories of different sandbags are studied. Digital Particle Tracking Velocimetry (DPTV) …

Some problems in low Reynolds number environmental flows
… investigates some problems in environmental fluid dynamics in which the role of inertia is negligible relative to viscous stresses and buoyancy forces. Simple models are developed to provide insight into the physics governing the flows and to determine the dependencies on a few parameters. We …

Wave propagation in pipes of slowly-varying radius with compressible flow
… a hard-walled pipe of varying radius conveying fluid. For the derived leading order propagating mode solution, its amplitude becomes singular at transition points $X_{t}$ and $X_{t'}$ where $X_{t} > 0$ and $X_{t'} < 0$ and thus is unable to propagate past these points. Because of the break down …

Many-Server Queues with Time-Varying Arrivals, Customer Abandonment, and non-Exponential Distributions
This thesis develops deterministic heavy-traffic fluid approximations for many-server stochastic queueing models. The queueing models, with many homogeneous servers working independently in parallel, are intended to model large-scale service systems such as call centers and health care systems. …
