A-1: Current and Past Research Projects

My principal research interests are focused on the analysis and design of solid structures with theoretical/experimental and computational techniques. Financial Resources for Research: My research is of interest to the industries related to power-generating, offshore mechanics, oil and gas, solution mining and ocean mining applications. As an example, I am currently co-supervising (with Professor Michael P. Paidoussis) a master student working on “Dynamics of Aspirating Cantilevered Pipes”. This work is supported by Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI). External Research Funding: More recently, our research proposal (a team grant) has been accepted for funding by FRQNT (Fonds de Recherche du Québec–Nature et Technologies) for the next three years (210,000 CAD) (2017-2019). This project is an example of my research on using computational mechanics to develop a coupled simulation-optimization inverse modelling approach for groundwater remediation systems in Quebec. Interacting with industry: For more than 7 years, I worked with industry to estimate the risk of detrimental vibrations of hydraulic gates and valves in hydroelectric power plant projects. Excessive vibrations may generate damage or affect the performance of such structures. As a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) process, I used a combination of theoretical vibration analysis and experimental measurement on scaled-down hydraulic models to (i) predict the dynamic characteristics of hydraulic structures, (ii) determine the ability of the structure (hydraulic gate and/or valve) to continue to perform its desired function and (iii) make appropriate recommendations on design improvement and/or mission and maintenance actions. I constructed a research lab and I was responsible for all aspects of the above-mentioned process for different types of hydraulic gates (roller gates, radial gates) and valves for different outlets (bottom-outlet and spillway) including experimental set-up, selection of data acquisition system, calibration, vibration measurements, modal analysis (Dry and Wet), signal processing, validation of the results and preparing the final reports.


A-2: Most Recent Contributions

1) Isogeometric analysis and design of curved structures (2016-2018) (List of Publications: # 1, 6) Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has recently been introduced in the field of computational mechanics. The method is powerful in dealing with design and analysis of thin-walled curved structures (e.g., ships and offshore structures”). Two of my students and I are currently working on IGA for curved structures including cured beams and curved pipes conveying fluid. In collaboration with Professor M. P. Paidoussis, I am also currently working on “Dynamics of Aspirating Cantilevered Pipes”. This research is supported by Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI) for dynamics and instability of very long pipes conveying fluid in solution mined salt caverns.

2) Linear and non-linear vibration and stability of structures at different scales (List of Publications: # 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10-15, 18-24, 28, 31, 33-35, 39, 40-43, 48-54, 57-60, 64, 65) I studied linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis and mechanical behavior of bio- and nano-structures with and without Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) (e.g., microtubules, nano-beams and nanotubes).

3) Simulation-optimization modelling (2012-2015) (List of Publications: #16, 17, 38, 44, 45, 46, 61) I developed a coupled simulation-optimization model for optimum design of pump and treat remediation systems. The model is based on finite element method (FEM) and firefly optimization algorithm. This research is now funded by FQRNT for three years (2019-2019).

4) Simulation techniques including finite element method (Publications: #27, 29, 30, 55, 62, 63, 66) I developed a new method (Smoothed Fixed Grid Finite Element Method, SFGFEM) for implementing non-boundary-fitted meshes in finite element technique for 3D dynamic structural analysis of solid bodies, as well as, for the solution of nonlinear inverse problems.

5) Design and analysis of hydraulic structures (Publications: #25, 26, 32, 47, 56, 67, 68) For more than 7 years and in close collaboration with industry, I developed a coupled vibration-based model for predicting the dynamic behavior of hydraulic structures used in hydroelectric power plant projects. It was based on a combination of (i) experimental scaled-down hydraulic models and (ii) computational vibration analysis. I also successfully constructed my own vibration/hydraulic lab for conducting model tests for a wide range of hydraulic structures (e.g., tainter gates and sluice gates). I was responsible for design and construction of the physical models, performing the experiments, Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT) and signal processing, FEM vibrational analysis, preparing the results and making technical suggestions for design optimization and improvement. Under my supervision, the students did several projects on the efficiency and analysis of hydro-mechanical equipment for dams and power plants.


Appendix B

Dynamic analysis of brine-strings in solution-mined hydrocarbon storage caverns

This work is performed at McGill University and funded by the Solution Mining Research Institute (SMRI) and Pipelines Research Council International (PRCI). Apart from purely academic interest, it is applicable in investigating the instability of brine-strings that is the leading cause of failures in solution-mined hydrocarbon storage caverns. It can produce several effects ranging from uncontrolled high stresses and fatigue-related failures over time. This research provides significant insight into the major issues facing instability of brine strings in salt caverns. It will also result in direct benefit to the brine mining and hydrocarbon storage cavern industry and lead to the development of specific well completions that could mitigate flow-induced brine string damage and increased allowable velocities. This finally enables operators to maximize the rate of extraction while still having confidence that damaging flow-induced vibration will not occur. There are two parts to this work: an experimental component and a theoretical component. This work is done in collaboration with Professor M. P. Paidoussis.

Appendix C

Coupled simulation-optimization inverse modelling approach for groundwater pollution remediation systems in Quebec (FRQNT, 210000 CAD$) (2017-2019)

This research will result in highly useful approaches and models for real world operational purposes, as well as results that will provide significant insight into the major issues facing groundwater quality in Quebec, including detecting and mapping contaminants, estimating the main characteristics of unknown pollution sources, and groundwater remediation. There are several significant advantages of the coupled simulation-optimization procedure that will be developed in this project compared to traditional methods currently available in commercial packages (e.g. MODFLOW, FEFLOW, etc.). The proposed approach will provide an efficient approximation and allow us to simulate a very wide range of 2- and 3D groundwater problems in Quebec with: i) high heterogeneities in different scales which are essential for numerical models to match field observations; ii) density dependent flow and solute transport processes in saturated and/or unsaturated media; and iii) confined and unconfined aquifers with porous and fractured media (e.g. as required for Montreal aquifers for industrial water supply which are composed of fractured rocks). In turn, the results of coupling the optimization algorithms with advanced groundwater flow and transport simulation techniques in this project will lead to: i) improving current computer modeling tools with very advanced computational tools; ii) better design and monitoring of contaminated sites (e.g. mining sites in Quebec); and iii) providing useful tools to study aquifer response to different operating plans, and ultimately helping to develop sustainable strategies to improve how groundwater is managed in Quebec in the future. The results from the initial locations of research (sites A-D) will be provided to the MDDEP, municipalities, watershed organizations, site owners and other key stakeholders on an on-going basis throughout the project (as has been done by us in previous studies we have been involved in throughout Quebec and elsewhere).
