Flow Dynamics and Aeroacoustics of Flow-induced Vibration of Bluff Bodies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-17)Flow-induced vibration (FIV), a common phenomenon of fluid-structure interaction (FSI), is found everywhere and at all scales in the applications of marine, civil, aeronautical, and power engineering. The study of FIV ... -
Flow in the Vascular System Post Stent Implantation: Examining the Near-Stent Flow Physics to Guide Next-Generation Stent Design
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-24)The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased dramatically due in part to the increased rates of obesity in North America. Atherosclerosis, the most prevalent type of CVD, is a progressive disease characterized ... -
Flow Separation on the β-plane
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-15)In non-rotating fluids, boundary-layer separation occurs when the nearly inviscid flow just outside a viscous boundary-layer experiences an appreciable deceleration due to a region of adverse pressure gradient. The fluid ... -
Flow-Induced Vibration of Elastically Mounted Cylinder-Plate Assemblies
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-17)The transverse flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically supported cylinder-plate assembly (viz., a rigid splitter-plate attached to the downstream side of a cylinder) is investigated deeply and systematically in this ... -
Flow-Induced Vibrations of foreign objects inside steam generator’s tube bundle.
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-20)Flow-induced vibrations of foreign objects were studied experimentally at University of Waterloo’s water flume facility. The main objective of this study was to understand the three-dimensional dynamic response of foreign ... -
Flowable-Electrode Capacitive Deionization for Treatment of Mining Process-Affected Water
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-26)Water is a critical resource in the mining and resources sector. It enables the extraction and materials processing operations that underpin this primary industry, and therefore everyday life. Water’s value in mining means ... -
Flowing with the River
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-17)Carried by the flow of water, this thesis is a journey into rediscovering the power of the River to animate and give reason to urban life. Its purpose is to create an alternate reality that brings people back to the ... -
Fluid Identities Material Imagination and the Ritual of Water Collection at the Mineral Spring of Sofia
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-18)How do we build for a specific place and culture in the age of globalization, where the notion of culture has become fluid and drawn from a multiplicity of locations? This thesis argues that rather than relying on ideologies ... -
Flume Construction and RFID Tracking Techniques for Fluvial Sediment Transport Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Sediment transport studies incorporating radio frequency identification (RFID) tracers are becoming a key component in understanding sediment transport dynamics due to the data they provide on spatial and temporal variability. ... -
Fluorescence and Adaptation of Color Images
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-26)Color plays a vitally important role in the world we live in. It surrounds us everywhere we go. Achromatic life, restricted to black, white and grey, is extremely dull. Color fascinates artists, for it adds enormously ... -
Fluorescently Labeled Latex Particles to Monitor Film Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-25)The influence of the length of an oligo(ethylene glycol) spacer (EGn, where n is the number of ethylene glycol units) in a 1-pyrenemethoxy-EGn methacrylate (PyEG-MA) monomer on the incorporation of the monomer into a ... -
Fluoride Removal from Contaminated Water by Limestone Reactor and Phosphate Rock Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-05)Fluorosis, which results in mottling of teeth enamel, softening of bones, ossification of tendons and ligaments, and even neurologic damage, is endemic in many mid-latitude regions. It is caused by the long-term ingestion ... -
Foam as a Vehicle for Nanoparticle Delivery in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Accidental releases, spills, and leaks of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), such as gasoline and jet fuel, can result in subsurface contamination. PHCs that become entrapped as a residual light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) ... -
Focused Retrieval
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-03)Traditional information retrieval applications, such as Web search, return atomic units of retrieval, which are generically called ``documents''. Depending on the application, a document may be a Web page, an email message, ... -
Focusing and Vertical Mode Scattering of the First Mode Internal Tide via Mesoscale Eddy Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-25)In this work we perform numerical experiments using the MITgcm to simulate the interaction of a mode-one internal tide with barotropic and baroclinic mode-one mesoscale eddies. We also employ the ray tracing equations to ... -
Focusing on Values and Ideals Decreased P3a Amplitude: A Confirmation of the Joint Subsystems Hypothesis
(University of Waterloo, 2017-11-21)Approach - avoidance dichotomy can be found in most of the major psychological theories concerned with motivation (Elliot, 1999). However, to date little is known about the effects that the underlying systems have on each ... -
Fold-and-thrust belt deformation of the Hongliuhe Group: a Permian tectonic closure record of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, NW China
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-20)The Early Permian strata of the Hongliuhe Group, NW China, experienced a thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt style of deformation that recorded the final stages of amalgamation of the Beishan orogenic collage, a part of the ... -
Folding and Stability Studies on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Associated apo Cu, Zn Superoxide dismutases
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating, incurable, neurodegenerative disease characterized by degradation of motor neurons leading to paralysis and ultimately death in ~3-5 years. Approximately 10% of ALS ... -
Folding and Unfolding
(University of Waterloo, 2001)The results of this thesis concern folding of one-dimensional objects in two dimensions: planar linkages. More precisely, a planar linkage consists of a collection of rigid bars (line segments) connected at their ... -
Folding Orthogonal Polyhedra
(University of Waterloo, 1999)In this thesis, we study foldings of orthogonal polygons into orthogonal polyhedra. The particular problem examined here is whether a paper cutout of an orthogonal polygon with fold lines indicated folds up into a simple ...
