A Modeling And Simulation Framework For Electrokinetic Nanoparticle Treatment, James Phillips
A Modeling And Simulation Framework For Electrokinetic Nanoparticle Treatment, James Phillips
Doctoral Dissertations
The focus of this research is to model and provide a simulation framework for the packing of differently sized spheres within a hard boundary. The novel contributions of this dissertation are the cylinders of influence (COI) method and sectoring method implementations. The impetus for this research stems from modeling electrokinetic nanoparticle (EN) treatment, which packs concrete pores with differently sized nanoparticles. We show an improved speed of the simulation compared to previously published results of EN treatment simulation while obtaining similar porosity reduction results. We mainly focused on readily, commercially available particle sizes of 2 nm and 20 nm particles, …
