Creating Your Bubble: Personal Space On and Around Large Public Displays
(ACM, 2016-05)We describe an empirical study that explores how users establish and use personal space around large public displays (LPDs). Our study complements field studies in this space by more fully characterizing interpersonal ... -
Pragmatic Groundwater-Surface Water Model Coupling with Unstructured Grids
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-29)Faced with an array of water issues exacerbated by a rapidly changing climate, hydrologists and hydrogeologists have increasingly found themselves needing to simultaneously model the groundwater and surface water domains ... -
Preserving Geometry and Topology for Fluid Flows with Thin Obstacles and Narrow Gaps
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-07-01)Fluid animation methods based on Eulerian grids have long struggled to resolve flows involving narrow gaps and thin solid features. Past approaches have artificially inflated or voxelized boundaries, although this sacrifices ... -
Theoretical and Experimental Study to Improve Antenna Performance Using a Resonant Choke Structure
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-11)Every antenna requires a feed network to supply its RF energy. In the case of a simple dipole antenna, this could be a coaxial cable with a tuning element and matching balun. For mostly omnidirectional antennas, currents ... -
Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Behavior of Conductive Fractures using a Hybrid Finite Difference – Displacement Discontinuity Method
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-21)Large amounts of hydrocarbon reserves are trapped in fractured reservoirs where fluid flux is far more rapid along fractures than through the porous matrix, even though the volume of the pore space may be a hundred times ...
