Density currents driven by differential cooling in lakes: occurrence, dynamics and implications for littoral-pelagic exchange

Cross-shore flows exchange water laterally in lakes, with ecological implications for the ecosystem. One example is the convective circulation induced by differential cooling, also known as the thermal siphon. This lateral flow forms when the sloping sides ...

Fluid dynamics of basal entrainment by geophysical gravity-driven flows

Belinda Margaret Bates

Geophysical gravity-driven flows -- including avalanches, debris flows, pyroclastic flows and submarine turbidity currents -- are multiphase natural hazards that flow under the influence of gravity. Despite their differences, they share much of the same ph ...

Introduction of an empirical TBM cutter wear prediction model for pyroclastic and mafic igneous rocks; a case history of Karaj water conveyance tunnel, Iran

Jian Zhao

One of the main cost items in tunneling projects using tunnel boring machines (TBMs) in rock and soil is the cost of changing of damaged or worn cutting tools. Cutter change is a time consuming activity which can have a major impact on the daily advance ra ...

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Dynamics of Transitional Flows over Complex Terrain

Daniel Nadeau

Recent advances in boundary-layer meteorology are beginning to allow the study of atmospheric flow phenomena that have previously been poorly understood. In this dissertation, we study the effects of complex terrain and unsteady regimes on the atmospheric ...

Release kinetics of volatiles from smectite clay minerals

Pascal Clausen

The focus of this thesis was on the mechanisms of release of volatile molecules from smectite clay minerals. The weight loss was monitored by thermogravimetry, differential calorimetry, and mass spectrometry under isothermal conditions and under ramp tempe ...

Capillarity correction to periodic solutions of the shallow flow approximation

David Andrew Barry

The shallow flow expansion is used to derive equations describing the flow of fluid in an unconfined aquifer. The expansion, which is carried out to second order, is combined with an approximation accounting for the influence of the capillary fringe to giv ...
