An Implicit Simulation Framework for Well Acidizing Process in Carbonate Reservoirs

This thesis elaborates on a newly developed Fully Implicit simulation model that captures the full coupling of reaction kinetics and fluid dynamics during carbonate matrix acidizing at an extensive (field) scale. The framework describes the physical processes at reservoir scale, by accounting for upscaled pore-scale-based quantities for reaction...

Cost Effective Attitude Control Validation Test Methods for CubeSats Applied to PolarCube

The problem of testing the performance of an attitude control system presents new challenges and opportunities when conducted on a CubeSat scale. This is the result of drastic reduction in physical properties (size, mass, torques) as well as project resources (funds, manpower, time) when compared to traditional satellite programs. This thesis...
