Thermal-Fluid Dynamic Model of Luge Steels
… for the US Olympic Luge team, a track and driver model is in development in order to simulate a sled going down the track. By doing this, the hope is to be able to pinpoint areas of possible improvement to the sled and see how adjustments can affect the optimum line down the track. A part of this …

The prediction of flux decline in cross-flow microfilters via three-dimensional fluid dynamic models of tortuous pore structure
… in-use lifetime of semi-synthetic metalworking fluids. However in operation, fouling of the microfilter has been shown to occur and bring about a reduction of microfilter flux. This research develops a fluid dynamic model of the tortuous pore geometry to simulate the progression of fouling and …

A microfabricated 3D tissue engineered "Liver on a Chip" : information content assays for in vitro drug metabolism studies
… This thesis focuses on the design, fabrication, modeling and characterization of a microfabricated bioreactor system that attempts to mimic the in vivo microenvironment by allowing for the three dimensional morphogenesis of liver tissue under continuous perfusion conditions. A key feature of the …

Geochemical and fluid dynamic investigations into the nature of chemical heterogeneity in the Earth's mantle
… which govern heat and mass transport in a dynamic earth. This dissertation attempts to add to this knowledge by examining the trace element and isotope geochemistry of mantle peridotites and oceanic island basalts, and by studying aspects of the flow of viscous fluids driven by thermal …
