28 Geologic characterization of Utah oil shale deposits2010-04-28oil shale development; geologic framework; lake evolution; oil shale; stratigraphic correlationWhy Geology? Economic prospectivity of oil shale development in the Uinta Basin relies heavily on establishing a solid geologic framework. Understanding lake evolution matters.
29 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...
