Large Eddy Simulation of Boundary Layer Combustion
… turbulent non-premixed wall-flames. A series of verification studies have been developed using several benchmark laminar flow problems for the following canonical configurations: a binary diffusion controlled mixing problem, Poiseuille flow with heat transfer, and classical Blasius boundary layer …

Integrating Structural Fire Analysis with Hybrid Fire Testing: A Framework for Enhanced Stability, Software development and Full-Scale Evaluation.
… furnace equipment and finite element models. Verification studies show the method is robust under both force- and displacement-controlled procedures and independent of stiffness-ratio imbalance. Second, the thesis presents a large-scale HFT of a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column within …

Behavior of Deep Reinforced Concrete Beams under Monotonic and Reversed Cyclic Load
… choice of this topic was motivated in part by verification studies which show that the current code procedures for shear design of members without web reinforcement are least accurate in the range of transition from deep to slender beams. Furthermore, the issue of cyclic response of …

Modelling the impact of total stress changes on groundwater flow
The research study involved using the modified FEMWATER code to investigate the impact of total stress changes on groundwater flow in the vicinity of a salt tailings pile. Total stress and pore-pressure data observed at the Lanigan and Rocanville potash-mine sites were used to assist the …
