Unconventional gas reservoirs have shown the potential to be the next world primary energy resource and have received a lot of attention in the past few years in the world. Even with the significant progress that has been made world-wide towards commercial development of natural gas from these unconventional resources, understandings or modeling tools of gas flow in these extremely low-permeabi...

A procedure for modeling the heart valves is presented. Instead of modeling complete leaflet motion, leaflets are modeled in open and closed configurations. The geometry of each configuration can be defined, for example, from in vivo image data. This method enables significant computational savings compared with complete fluid-structure interaction and contact modeling, while maintaining realis...

Conventional petroleum reservoir simulators use constant rock compressibility to denote deformation. However, due the stress-sensitive nature of shale formations, using in does not accurately capture pressure diffusion reservoir, leading a higher error margin flow rate estimation. Fluid coupling with geomechanics is used account for such phenomenon numerically. Such an approach important numeri...

to use soil hydrology processes (shp) models, which have increasingly extended during the last years, comprehensive knowledge about these models and their modeling approaches seems to be necessary. the modeling approaches can be categorized as either classical or non-classical. classical approaches mainly model the shp through solving the general unsaturated flow (richards) equation, numericall...

Recent progress and remaining challenges related to the understanding and prediction of turbulent flow are described. This is done by explaining the need for the development and basic features of unified turbulence models which integrate, recover and extend well known existing computational methods for turbulent flow calculations. The availability of unified turbulence models enables a signific...

The long-term goals of this project are to further the insight into the dynamics of submesoscale flow in the oceanic surface layer. Using the Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS), we aim to understand the impact of submesoscale processes on tracer mixing at small scales and the transfer of energy towards the dissipative scales of non-geostrophic turbulence. An advanced understanding of surfa...

Modeling of wind farm wakes is great importance for the optimal design and operation farms. In this work a surrogate modeling method parametrized fluid flows proposed wake modeling, based on state-of-the-art deep learning framework i.e. convolutional conditional generative adversarial network. Based data generated by high-fidelity large eddy simulations, novel model developed. The developed fir...

The project reported on here was undertaken with the primary objective of creating a database of commodity flows into and out of the counties of Indiana and to allocate this commodity traffic to the transportation network of the state. Such a database was to form the foundation for a general transportation model for Indiana that would assist state decision-makers in evaluating the various alter...

the use of multilateral well is becoming an emerging method to improve oil recovery efficiently and to drain reservoirs more efficacious. by developing drilling technology, completing the oil wells as multilateral wells become more interesting especially from economic point of view. on the other hand, lack of any means for forecasting the performance of this type of wells causes drilling of the...
