12 Core-based integrated sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and geochemical analysis of the oil shale bearing Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah2011-04Utah; Green River Formation; Lake Uinta; Mahogany zone; Lake evolution; Oil shale development; Uinta BasinAn integrated detailed sedimentologic, stratigraphic, and geochemical study of Utah's Green River Formation has found that Lake Uinta evolved in three phases 1) a freshwater rising lake phase below the Mahogany zone, 2) an anoxic deep lake phase above the base of the Mahogany zone and 3) a hypersali...
13 Efficient parallelization of RMCRT for large scale LES combustion simulations2011-06monte carlo; RMCRT; parallelization; large scale LES combustion; combustion simulations; radiationAt the high temperatures inherent to combustion systems, radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer. An accurate simulation of a combustor therefore requires precise treatment of radiative heat transfer. This is accomplished by calculating the radiative-flux divergence at each cell of the discr...
