Currently responsible for programming, implementing, and maintaining computer codes for vapor dispersion and vapor cloud explosion consequence analysis models. Also working on methods for coupling complementary vapor dispersion models and extending steady-state models to account for time-varying releases.
Extensive work in developing an analytical model for the prediction of the vaporization rates of multi-component, low volatility liquid pools.
Continuing work on the behavior of two-phase jet releases, including the development and maintance of a computer code to model the thermodynamics of an aerosol plume as it entrains air.
Doctoral dissertation topic: Modeling Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosions for Risk Assessment Calculations.
Other graduate work included statistical mechanical modeling of electroyte solutions, novel boundary conditions for Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics thermodynamic simulations, modeling sour gas cleanup with amines and mixed amines in packed and tray towers using a modified group contribution model for electrolytes.
