EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Faculty in the College of Engineering are actively involved in research, which is carried out in the five constituent departments, two interdisciplinary divisions, and in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics. The 2003-2004 Research Report includes a detailed account of faculty and other research personnel, research funding, graduate students, and research publications. This past year was a very productive one. Seventy-eight faculty members along with 27 Emeriti Professors in the College of Engineering attracted $6.7 million in research funding from federal agencies, of which $3.36 million came from NSERC, provincial funding agencies, and the private sector. In addition, faculty in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics supported their research with just over $2 million in funding from NSERC and other funding agencies. A strong spirit of collaboration predominated this past year as evidenced by research synergies amongst Engineering faculty and researchers in other University of Saskatchewan Colleges, in other Universities in Canada and abroad, and in industrial establishments. A total of 337 graduate students, including 84 at the Ph.D. level, actively participated in research and co-authored many of the 492 scientific articles presented at national and international conferences or published in refereed journals by Engineering faculty this past year. Faculty in Physics and Engineering Physics and their 48 graduate students published 225 scientific articles in total. Twenty-three faculty, 13 from Engineering, and 23 graduate students, supported the research activities of Environmental Engineering. Eighteen faculty, nine from Engineering, and 11 graduate students, supported the activities of Biomedical Engineering. It is worth noting the remarkable contribution of a select number of Emeriti Professors. This Research Report consists of four main parts. The College of Engineering Research Themes are featured in Part I. These themes represent areas of research strength and each section includes a description of the research activities and a list of faculty with research interest and involvement in the particular area. Part II includes information regarding faculty and staff, research activities, graduate students, grants and contracts, degrees awarded, publications, and honours and awards in each department or division. The details of graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and visiting scholars are presented in Part III, whereas Part IV contains a detailed list of all publications by department or division. Readers are encouraged to contact individual faculty members regarding specific projects or to discuss possibilities of exploring new ideas or collaborations. This 2003-2004 College of Engineering Research Report is the result of a collaborative effort of departmental graduate chairs and graduate secretaries. The enormous contribution of Ms. Gweneth Jones in putting this document together is hereby acknowledged. Spiro Yannacopoulos, Ph.D., P.Eng.

COLLEGE RESEARCH THEMES

1. BIO-SCIENCES, BIO-ENGINEERING, BIO-PROCESSING

Overview and Relevance This theme includes a very broad set of research topics that do overlap into some of the other theme areas. It is characterized, however, by involving living organisms. Current topics of research for this theme are: value-added products, bio-processing, bio-fluids, nano-technology materials, tissue engineering, biodiversity of agriculture products, sustainable agricultural production, food quality and safety, functional foods by fermentation or enzymatic processes, bio-chemical processing, computational techniques for analyzing the bio-mechanical behaviour of soft tissue, FEM simulation of bony structures, applications to MEMS & Nano devices, tribology, and bio-diesel and bio-ethanol for renewable energy sources. This list is not exclusive. As seen these topics can easily be included in theme areas such as energy and materials. Biosciences, Bio-engineering, and Bio-processing and Bio-resources have strong implications for national economic development due to Canada’s strong role within primary bioresources such as agriculture and forestry, the necessity to add value to these resources, and the high level of technology and engineering skill and support. Functional food production, bio-fuels, nano-technology, and advanced health technologies have the potential of becoming as important as the electronics industry to the global market. Food security, quality and safety have recently become major issues eclipsing that of environmental concerns. Of special importance to engineering are that of biochemical and chemical processing that not only serve to greatly increase the value of bioresources, but to synthesize and extract new products and provide new, economically more efficient and environmentally safer techniques for waste management, production of bio-products, and health products. Research within the College Within the College of Engineering there are 10 faculty (plus one Professor Emeritus) who are actively involved in this theme. Total amount of funding received in this area during the last five years was $3.88 million of which $1.26 million was from NSERC. Part of the other $2.62 million consists of $1.1 million combined federal and provincial government funds for the construction and updating of the Bioprocessing laboratories in Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering. Much of the remainder of the $2.62 million came from the Saskatchewan Agriculture Development Fund. Faculty Five faculty plus a Professor Emeritus from Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering (Baik, Crowe, Sokhansanj, Tabil, Panigrahi, and Meda) and one faculty from Mechanical Engineering (Schoenau) are involved with bioprocessing and added-value of food and agricultural products.

14

It is expected that funding and involvement in this area will increase as three of these faculty were hired in the last three years. Topics of research of the active faculty include: heat transfer during cooking, microencapsulation, microwave processing, development of machine systems for enhancement of product value, physical processing, postharvest treatment, and utilization and processing of agricultural by-products. Four faculty members from Chemical Engineering are working in the area of bio-chemical and chemical processing of biomass (Dalai, Hill, Lin, and Nemati). Their research areas include: production of microbial cells and iochemicals such as penicillium bilaiae and proteins, bioremediation of chemicals and mining industrial wastes such as soils and waters contaminated with polyaromatic hydrocarbons and sulfides, microbial oil recovery, greenhouse gas mitigation by microbial conversion of carbon dioxide and volatile chemicals, fermentation and separation technologies such as simultaneous cold starch hydrolysis and fermentation, biodiesel, and fuel alcohol production using chemical catalysis and fermentation of biomass, and the association of genomics and proteomics to explore global cellular bionetwork. These research projects are supported by annual funding of about $500K and are carried out in about four million dollars' worth of new research space in the Chemical Engineering wing. Nine faculty (Chen, Dolovich, Fotouhi, Hertz, Schoenau, Szyszkowski, Torvi, Watson, and Zhang) from Mechanical Engineering are involved in Bioengineering, and in particular with: applications of MEMS to biotechnology; engineered tissue scaffolds; biomechanics and non-destructive testing of soft tissues; computational mechanics, time-dependent materials, optimization, and robotic control; tribology; and bio-heat transfer. Collaborations University: Chemical Engineering and Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering share information between projects. Other Departments on campus that are involved are: Applied Microbiology and Food Science, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Anatomy, and Veterinary Medicine. Provincial collaborations include: National Water Research Institute, Philom Bios, Kapt-al Services Ltd. National and international collaborations include: University of Guelph, Concordia University, University of Manitoba, Agricultural and Agri-Food Canada.

2. ENVIRONMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The two primary areas of focus within this research theme are those of the Environment and Infrastructure. The environmental work deals primarily with the natural environment with research focussed on the impact of industrial or municipal activity on the health of the natural environment and the development of methods of minimizing, monitoring and remediating these impacts. Infrastructure focuses on the built environment, dealing primarily with the health of the transportation and municipal systems on which societies rely.

Environment The environmental theme involves faculty from the Departments of Civil and Geological Engineering, Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Physics and the Environmental Engineering Division. Research projects encompass studies on river pollution studies, irrigation, water quality, wastewater treatment, waste management and waste containment in the agricultural, municipal, industrial and resource sectors, mine reclamation, watershed management in the boreal plain, and environmental regulation. A particular strength is a large body of work targeting the problems of the agriculture, forestry, mining and petroleum industries so vital to the economy of Saskatchewan and western Canada. Some typical examples of these areas of research are provided below.

Water Quality and the Environment

• Modelling watershed disturbance impacts for forestry management on the Boreal Plain - This work involves characterizing and then managing the impact of forest harvesting and fire disturbance on water flows and quality in small forested watersheds. This work is being undertaken at field sites northwest of Whitecourt, Alberta using specialists in forestry, soil science, hydrology and water quality. G. Putz is collaborating with researchers from several universities (Lakehead University, University of Saskatchewan, and University of Alberta) and industrial partners (Millar Western Forest Products, Blueridge Lumber and Louisiana Pacific). The research is supported by an NSERC CRD.

• Rural water pipeline flow and water quality study - The potential deterioration of water quality in rural water distribution pipelines due to the loss of chlorine residual and the development of biofilm is being investigated by G. Putz. Monitoring of flow and water quality in two rural water pipeline systems is ongoing and involves the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Water Pipelines (SARWP), Agriculture and Agri-food Canada, two rural water pipeline associations, SaskWater, Sask Health and the SRC. A companion study funded through NSERC directly is also being undertaken to develop new methods of characterizing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in prairie surface waters.

• Storm water input to the South Saskatchewan River in the City of Saskatoon – J. Kells and G. Putz are characterizing the pollutant load in runoff from various land use types within the City of Saskatoon with a view to defining loadings to the South Saskatchewan River. This work involves the Meewasin Valley Authority, the City of Saskatoon (CS) and Saskatchewan Environment (SE).

• Constructed wetlands for treatment of rural community sewage lagoon effluent - The use of constructed wetlands for nutrient removal is being studied using a wetland system at Aberdeen,

17

SK. This work is being undertaken by J. Kells and G. Putz through support from NSERC and SaskWater.

• Performance of Soil Covers in the Reclamation of Oil-Sands Waste – This collaborative study, led by L. Barbour with A. Elshorbagy, involves soil scientist, geochemists, and geographers as well as Civil Engineering faculty. A heavily instrumented reclamation cover watershed has been developed on saline/sodic overburden at Syncrude’s Mildred Lake mine site, about 40 kilometers north of Fort McMurray. The focus of the research is to establish the long-term performance of reclamation covers and watershed evolution associated with the decommissioning of oilsands mining operations.

• Effective Coagulation/Flocculation at Cold Temperatures – This study led by J. Peng is addressing a need to understand the influence of low water temperature on the operation of drinking water treatment plants, especially coagulation/flocculation process. This research, funded by NSERC is of particular interest to Saskatchewan residents who routinely rely on cold water from either surface or groundwater sources for potable supplies.

Agriculture

• Biosolids management for the Intensive Livestock operations (ILO) – A number of faculty are involved in a series of integrated studies involving biosolids management for solids and semi-solids application and processing (C. Laguë and M. Roberge), in-line sensing of liquid manure fertilizer content (T. Crowe), composting of waste and mortalities for use as fertilizer and soil amendment (T. Fonstad) and application and biodegradation of hydrocarbon wastes as a soil amendment to reduce soil erosion (T. Fonstad). Collaborators include the University of Alberta, Ag Canada, and Soil Science. An investigation of the impact of land application of agricultural wastes on salinization and runoff quality are also being undertaken through the development of long-term monitoring of field sites (E. Barber, C. Maulé, T. Fonstad). The impact of surface storage facilities for waste from ILO operations on groundwater is also understudy (T. Fonstad, C. Maulé). The potential benefit of biodegradation in limiting the impact of ILOs on surface water quality is under investigation by J. Gillies.

• Control and Monitoring of Manure Odour and Greenhouse Gases(GHG) - Several projects led by H. Guo, C. Laguë, and T. Fonstad are developing monitoring and control strategies as well as guidance for regulatory development for GHG associated with intensive livestock operations

Division of Environmental Engineering

The Division of Environmental Engineering provides students the opportunity to do research in an interdisciplinary environment. This activity is not intended to compete with teaching and research carried out in specific departments in the College of Engineering. Rather, its purpose is to enhance the opportunities for both faculty and students interested in pursuing teaching and research efforts beyond traditional departmental boundaries. The Division of Environmental Engineering has developed research liaisons with the Centre for Studies in Agriculture, Law and Environment, the Institute for Space and Atmospheric Studies and Toxicology Research Centre as well as collaborative research with the National Water Research Institute, the Saskatchewan Research Council, the City of Saskatoon and the Prairie Swine Centre Inc.

Engineering Physics

The Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies (ISAS) is one of the largest groups in Canada investigating terrestrial space and atmospheric environments (‘Space Weather’ and Climate Change). The group works on the development of observational systems with an emphasis upon experimental design, tomography, radar-signal-processing and data analysis. A Canada Research Chair (CRC), Prof. St.-Maurice, is working with ISAS scientists and the Campus environmental science community on Climate Change issues. Some examples of research projects in this group include the following:

• SuperDARN and PolarDARN - G. Sofko is the Canadian P.I. for the international network of 9/6 HF radars in the northern/southern hemispheres. Along with colleagues S. Koustov, G. Hussey, K. McWilliams, and J. St.-Maurice they are studying the ‘near-Earth’ space phenomena such as ionospheric convection, field-aligned currents, auroral substorms and high-latitude arcs. A new network, PolarDARN, designed for the ‘polar-cap’ region is slated to come on-line in 2005.

• Atmospheric environment and Climate Change issues- T. Llewellyn is the P.I. of the CSA’s OSIRIS system on the Odin satellite which is being used to study the global distribution of ozone within the middle/lower atmosphere (0-100km), and for studies of aerosols and sub-visual clouds. D. Degenstein also operates ground-based versions of OSIRIS and the CSA’s MOPITT (tropospheric pollution) system from the Institute’s roof observatory. A. Manson’s Group has also used the advanced MF radar facilities at Saskatoon, along with global networks of radars, satellites and data-assimilated general circulation models, to investigate the dynamics of the middle atmosphere, coupling with ozone, and Climate Change issues.

Infrastructure Infrastructure research focuses on the ‘built environment’ upon which healthy, prosperous and safe communities are built. There is a particular need for renewal of highways, road systems, water supply facilities, and water treatment systems. Given Saskatchewan’s unique dependence on highway systems, research that targets the management, renewal and maintenance of this system has been a particular focus of the Transportation Group within this theme area.

One particular example of rapid growth in research has been the participation of a number of faculty in ISIS Canada (a Network of Centres of Excellence for Intelligent Sensing and Innovative Structures) which has close working relationships with public sector agencies (Department of Highways, City Engineering Department), private sector infrastructure users (i.e., resource companies) as well as service industries in this sector. One example of these projects is the work of G. Sparks, B. Sparling, L. Wegner and M. Boulfiza on Life Cycle Costing. This work is being undertaken with industrial partners Hudson Bay Bridge Rehabilitation, Saskatchewan Highways & Transportation and Weyerhauser Inc.

Transportation Centre

The Transportation Centre, which is part of the Department of Civil and Geological Engineering and is led by C. Berthelot along with J. Chan, has a research focus on highway traffic safety and safety standards. The centre is funded primarily by Transport Canada and continues to play an important role in traffic safety research at the national level. More recently they have expanded their research into the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems to highway traffic and

19

Mechanistic Modelling of Asphalt Concrete Pavements. Some examples of this research are provided below:

• Intelligent Transportation Systems – Research on ‘weight in motion’ systems, begun by A. Bergan in the early 1970’s has continued, leading to collaborations with a commercial vendor of this technology International Road Dynamics (IRD) by C. Berthelot. The development of Smart Work Zones which use IT to quantify and improve work zone safety has recently begun in collaboration with North Carolina Department of Transportation.

• Mechanistic Modelling of Asphalt Concrete Pavements – C. Berthelot also leads an integrated series of studies into the development of an engineering mechanics and material science approach to the design of asphalt concrete pavements. Collaborators in this work include Texas A & M University, Public Works Canada, Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation, City of Regina, City of Saskatoon, Husky Oil, Imperial Oil, Ambertec, Pounder Emulsions, Shedworks Texas.

Faculty Contacts Twenty-eight faculty members are actively involved in research under the “environment” umbrella representing almost 40% of the College of Engineering. It is difficult to subdivide the faculty between research that relates to infrastructure and natural environment because of the large area of overlap but the majority of the research likely relates to the natural environment.

Approximately twenty faculty members in the College are principally involved in research associated with the natural environment. They primarily come from three departments: Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Civil and Geological Engineering (Fonstad, Gillies, Guo, Kushwaha, Laguë, Maulé, Evitts, Hill, Nemati, Pugsley, Sumner, Barbour, Elshorbagy, Fleming, Haug, Kells, Pufahl, Putz, and Reeves).

Eight faculty members in the College of Engineering, all from the Department of Civil and Geological Engineering, are principally involved in research directly related to infrastructure (Berthelot, Boulfiza, Hosain, Milne, Sharma, Sparks, Sparling and Wegner).

University of Saskatchewan collaborators include Hendry and Renaud (Geological Sciences), Germinda, Mermut, Bing Si (Soil Science), Martz, Peters (CRC Chair) (Geography), Wolfe (Agriculture Canada), Kotzer (CLS) and Headley and van der Kamp (NWRI-Environment Canada).

3. ENERGY: PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING, TRANSPORT, ELECTRICAL ENERGY AND UTILIZATION Energy research in the College of Engineering is quite interdisciplinary and involves 30 faculty members and three emeritus professors from Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, Chemical, Civil and Geological, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics and Engineering Physics. In addition, there have been academia and industry personnel participating in this research theme from several Provincial, National and International agencies. The energy research in the College in the past year included four broad categories such as 1) energy production (bio-energy from animal and agricultural wastes, clean coal technology, alternative energy, solar, wind, etc.), 2) energy processing (bio-ethanol, bio-diesel, biomass conversion, bio-technology applications, improved oil and gas processing etc.), 3) energy transport and distributions (multi-phase flow transport systems, oil and gas transport, power grid and power reliability, development of efficient transmission and distribution systems, etc.), and 4) energy utilization and conservation (building science, heat recovery systems, moisture control, high-efficiency high voltage AC and DC systems, northern plain applications, etc.). The research being multidisciplinary in nature involved chemistry and thermodynamics, chemical reactor engineering, fluid dynamics related to multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, combustion science, electrical power generation and transmission technology, plasma science, and process optimization and economics. Innovative research is being conducted in the Department of Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering to develop methods to store and densify biomass for year-round delivery to the biorefinery. There are eight professors (Fonstad, Guo, Laguë, Roberge, Crowe, Maulé, Kushwaha and Meda) from this Department working on the energy theme. The major barrier to commercialization of bioconversion concepts is the logistics of biomass collection and transportation. The current research projects include: 1) particle size reduction of biomass; 2) densification and processing of biomass; 3) modeling the collection of material for an agricultural-based industry; 4) milling feed-grade cereal grains and pulses to be used as feedstock for ethanol fermentation. Research is also being undertaken to reduce energy usage during value-added processing of agricultural materials into food or industrial products. Examples, of such operation, are drying, baking and heat treatment. One such project is the analysis of heat transfer during drying of baled hay in the design of energy-efficient baled hay dryer. Research on the use of novel processing technologies to extract components from a biological material, improve food safety and reduce energy consumption during processing is also being undertaken. For example, microwave technology is used to extract selected components from herbs and spices, for better and efficient extraction of components. The Chemical Engineering Department has nine faculty (Dalai, Hill, Phoenix, Pugsley, Wang, Peng, Nemati, Evitts, and Sumner) working on various aspects of energy production, processing and energy transport. The research includes catalytic processing of natural gas and liquid fuels for the removal of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans, hydroprocessing of heavy and light gas oils derived from Athabasca bitumen, hydrogen or synthesis gas production from crude ethanol and glycerol, diesel-like fuel from lard, hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils to liquid fuels, sonochemical processing of heavy oil, biochar conversion to activated carbon, steam gasification of chars and bio-oils, production of diesel fuel additives from various vegetable oils, catalytic

23

reforming of greenhouse gases, oil/gas production, nuclear waste disposal, hydrodynamics and performances of gas-solid fluidized beds, bitumen slurry pipeline flow, the migration and coalescence of bitumen froth waste droplets in a shear field, phase behavior analysis of bitumen-containing systems, bio-ethanol fermentation, fuel cell simulation research, and applications of carbon nanotubes from petroleum processing. Out of 39 graduate students in the Department last year, 14 students (35%) worked on research topics related to this theme. Six PDFs and three research assistants have also worked on fundamental and applied energy research. Five M.Sc. and one Ph.D. student have been awarded their degrees last year in the Department of Chemical Engineering with thesis related to this theme. There are three professors (Barbour, Elshorbagy and Hawkes) from the Department of Civil and Geological Engineering working on the energy theme. In the past year, Dr. Chris Hawkes has worked in the field of petroleum geomechanics. Projects currently underway include laboratory and numerical investigations of potential leakage mechanisms during geological storage of greenhouse gases in depleted oil reservoirs, interpretation of in-situ stress magnitudes in candidate greenhouse gas storage sites in Alberta, and borehole stability analyses for coal bed methane wells in Saskatchewan. He has recently been granted capital equipment funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Western Economic Diversification Canada to develop the laboratory tools that will be required to further advance his research in these fields. Dr. Lee Barbour and Dr. Amin Elshorbagy are working on a project funded by Syncrude Canada Ltd. And NSERC to characterize the long-term evolution of reclaimed watersheds over oil-sand mine waste sites. The project will enable understanding of the distribution and migration of salt and water within these landscapes so that soil, groundwater and surface water can be protected and a productive boreal forest can be re-established following the end of mining. The total number of graduate students in the Department of Civil and Geological Engineering working on these energy-related projects is eight. There are six faculty members (Chowdhury, Faried, Billinton, Karki, Sidhu and Gokaraju) and two professors emeriti (Sachdev and El-Serafi) working closely with this theme especially on electrical machines and power magnetic, microwave communication systems, power system analysis, protection and control, and power system reliability evaluation. The department has extensive facilities for conducting research in these areas. In the past year, research was conducted specially on power system reliability evaluation, dynamic performance of electrical machines, microcontroller and embedded systems, microprocessor applications in control, power system and power system analysis. The Department has close ties with Nortel, Sask Tel, TRLabs and the Canadian Microelectronic Corporation. There are 20 M.Sc. and nine Ph.D. students, and one PGD student enrolled in the Department to work on various aspects of energy distributions. In the past year, there were 10 M.Sc. and one Ph.D. student graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering with thesis written in this research theme. The Department of Mechanical Engineering has seven faculty members (Bergstrom, Torvi, Bugg, Hertz, Simonson, Schoenau, and Sumner) and one emeritus professor (Besant) working on fundamental investigations intended to advance theoretical understanding to practical studies intended to solve current industrial, environmental and energy problems. The emphasis of this group last year focused on thermal management using two-phase flow including heat transfer applications in simulated space environments, moisture exchange in buildings, heat and moisture

24

transfer in granular potash, advanced active and passive design for optimum home heating and cooling, and tribology of biodiesel fueled engines. The faculty have received funding from the Communities of Tomorrow, Syncrude Canada Ltd., NSERC, PCS and Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission to work on various aspects of energy conservation, transport and utilization. There are four PDFs and research engineers, and 15 graduate students currently enrolled in the Department working on the topics related to this theme. There were four M.Sc. students graduated in the past year with energy content in their thesis. The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics has three professors (Hirose, Smolyakov, and Xiao) working on the Fusion research in the Plasma Physics Laboratory. The STOR-M tokamak in the Laboratory is currently the only device in Canada devoted to magnetic fusion research with an ultimate objective to burn hydrogen isotopes for abundant, clean energy source. The STOR-M was constructed as a test bed for novel technologies which are relevant to tokamak fusion reactors in the future. Active research is being carried out on the following programs: Compact Torus (CT) injection as a novel fueling means, alternating current (ac) operation as a quasi steady state tokamak reactor, induction of improved (high) confinement phase (H-mode) by various means, and development of novel plasma diagnostics. In parallel with experimental research, active theoretical research is maintained in order to further our understanding of the complex tokamak physics. Highlights in the past year include confinement improvement triggered by CT injection, vertical CT injection, observation of radial propagation of drift type mode and the Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM), preparation of 2 mm microwave scattering by short wavelength drift type modes in STOR-M, and plasma flow measurements using a Mach probe. International collaboration with other small and large tokamaks will expand under the umbrella of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In theoretical research, stability analysis of tokamaks was continued with an integral equation based kinetic, electromagnetic ballooning code.

5. MATERIALS SCIENCE

Materials science research in the College of Engineering is interdisciplinary, intensive and extensive. It involves faculty and researchers from Agricultural and Bioresource, Chemical, Civil and Geological, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering and Physics and Engineering Physics. A strong collaboration has been and is still being developed between materials researchers in the College and the Canadian Light Source (CLS) and Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre (SSSC) on the campus and other educational institutions, research centers, and industrial organizations within and outside the province. A wide range of materials research is being pursued at the present time. The research activities are aimed at addressing national needs in terms of both the provision of technological solutions to industries and governments and the development of highly skilled graduates. The focus is on synthesis, characterization, performance evaluation, and application of materials. This encompasses both applied and fundamental work on a variety of materials including structural and multifunctional, advanced, plasma-derived, electronic and photonic, functional organic and hybrid, catalytic, bio-derived and bio-inspired materials and is concerned with the improvement in the performance of materials used in engineering systems. The main areas of materials research within the College can be categorized as follows: Plasma Physics Research Plasma physics deals with the collective behaviour of charged particles in electromagnetic fields. The application of basic plasma physics to manufacturing and processing of materials is a new frontier that is of great technological importance to Canada. Industrial applications of plasma processing include the production of computer chips and planar optical waveguides, microwave devices, high-efficiency lamps, particle accelerators, processing of thin films, modification of materials, and large-scale electricity generation through nuclear fusion. Fusion energy produces no harmful waste, uses a virtually inexhaustible source of fuel (the hydrogen comes from water), and is incredibly efficient in the conversion of matter to energy. The application of plasma physics in material synthesis and modification is the cardinal focus of plasma research in the College. Carbon nanostructures (diamond films, carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanocones) have been successfully synthesized with a unique plasma-assisted technology which allows diamond synthesis at unusually low temperatures. Several methods have also been developed for mass production of carbon nanotubes. In biomedical applications of diamond and related materials, DLC (diamond-like-carbon) has been coated on polymers (PTFE) to improve its haemocompatibility. Haemocompatibility tests of PTFE with and without DLC coating have been conducted with human blood with encouraging preliminary results. High field electron emission current from the synthesized carbon nanostructures has also been observed with low turn-on field. Plasma ion implantation technique has been used to modify materials properties. High-dose ion implantation of a variety of sample materials, such as conventional and porous silicon, SiO2, and diamond and DLC films have been carried out. Also, low-energy ion implantation techniques are used to investigate the self-assembly of nanometer-sized nitride structures on metals.

Electronic Materials Research A rapidly growing area in electronic materials research today is the development of solid-state medical x-ray detectors. These x-ray detectors promise to reduce substantially the radiation doses to patients, increase image resolution, and improve the storage and recall of x-ray images in a digital format. The focus of electronic materials research in the College includes (i) fabrication and characterization of x-ray photoconductors for x-ray imaging applications, (ii) deposition and optical characterization of thin films for optoelectronic and photonic applications, (iii) preparation and characterization of chalcogenide glasses for optoelectronic and photonic applications, (iv) device characterization and modeling (e.g. noise characterization of thin film transistors (TFTs used in flat panel displays)), device modeling of direct conversion flat panel x-ray image detectors, and modeling of photonic devices such as Er-doped optical amplifiers made from chalcogenide glasses, (v) fundamental understanding of property-preparation, and property-structure relationships for various technologically important materials with applications in electronics, optoelectronic and photonics, (vi) fundamental understanding and theoretical treatment of the mechanism of superconductivity in high-pressure solids, boron-doped diamond, nanometer-size superconductors and the so-called high-temperature superconductors. High-temperature superconductors are used in a variety of applications such as medical imaging devices. Materials Performance Research Material degradation is of great importance to the Canadian economy because it occurs in the mining, agricultural, construction, manufacturing and power generation industries. Research in this area concentrates on the use of experimental techniques as well as numerical modeling to analyze the performance of materials in service and investigate causes of failure with respect to wear, friction, corrosion, oxidation, thermal durability, creep and mechanical/thermal fatigue. Predictive modeling and experimental studies relating to corrosion in a wide range of industrial systems are being carried out. The effect of sensitization temperature and time on the stress-corrosion cracking of aluminum alloys used marine applications is investigated, the effect of welding parameters on the fracture behaviour of high-pressure vessel steels and corrosion wear and erosion corrosion resistance of engineering materials employed in potash brine environment are being investigated. Intensive research is also being conducted on superhard composite materials for applications in mechanical, nuclear and biomedical engineering. Characterization of biological materials, specifically physical attributes and structure, force-deformation, viscoelastic, thermal, frictional, and electromagnetic properties are also carried out in order to design effective processing systems for these materials. Synchrotron Radiation and Surface Science Research The understanding of the electronic structure of materials is very important for the design of new materials with novel electronic, optical, magnetic, photochemical and catalytic properties. This ultimately will lead to new devices. Also, the knowledge of the properties and behavior of surfaces is necessary in such diverse fields as electronics, nonlinear optics, sensors, catalysis, biotechnology, medicine, interfaces, adhesion and wear, friction and wetting. It is equally crucial in the manufacture and characterization of semiconductor devices and coatings. Synchrotron radiation materials research focuses on the characterization and probing of the electronic structure of complex materials, magnetic systems, strong ferromagnetic thin films, magnetic semiconductors and biomaterials. These materials are of great theoretical and practical

31

interest because their electronic structure is not merely related to atomic species and position but to ordering of spins, orbitals and charge on the lattice ions. They are candidate materials for the next generation of information technology with higher storage density and faster processing. With the unique capabilities offered by synchrotron radiation, low-energy excitation studies can be carried out. For example, magnetic (and nanostructured) materials can be probed with polarized synchrotron radiation. Materials research in the surface science area focuses on fundamental understanding of the chemistry and physics of phenomena occurring at the surfaces of materials. The self-assembly and structural properties of nanometre-scale systems at surfaces, and the interaction of molecules with model surfaces and nanostructures are investigated. Surfaces patterned on the nanometre scale have a wide range of potential applications in electronics, nonlinear optics, sensors, catalysis, biotechnology and medicine. The electronic structure probing of materials is carried out using a variety of techniques including synchrotron-based spectroscopy and x-ray scattering techniques, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Surface characterization and modeling are also carried out using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques such as atomic-force microscopy (AFM) and variable temperature UHV scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Composite and Computational Materials Research The ability of conventional engineering materials to meet the ever-increasing demands of the present modernity has reached a plateau. Modern engineering problems demand materials that exhibit a wide range of desirable mechanical and physical properties, such as high specific strength and stiffness, excellent strength at elevated temperatures, low thermal expansivity, high corrosion and creep resistance, and excellent wear resistance. The study of composites focuses on the development and optimization of mechanical, physical and chemical properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs), polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for a variety of industrial applications. Research is undertaken in developing biocomposites using flax and hemp fiber and biopolymers from agricultural materials for use in the automotive, construction, agricultural and consumer products. Flax fiber reinforced concretes are being developed and characterized for use in building construction. Model aluminum alloy-based MMCs reinforced with alumina, silicon carbide, and fly ash particles are also investigated for use in automobile, railway, electronic, and aircraft components. Research in computational materials design involves modeling of materials behavior using both continuum and mechanistic approaches; quantum-mechanical prediction of crystal structure; computational design of materials, electronic devices and systems; and computer-aided selection of materials for engineering design. Development of materials and technologies employed in MEMS and other nanostructures is a new area of this endeavour.

6. MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH (EMERGING THEME)

1. Introduction The Microgravity Research Group (MRG) was established in 1988, and has had a national and international reputation. Since its establishment, the group has included active researchers within the College including Mechanical Engineering and Civil & Geological Engineering, as well as within the College of Medicine. 2. Definition of the Theme Microgravity research encompasses the phenomena related to gravitational fields (or equivalent accelerations with respect to inertial frames) whose magnitudes are only a small fraction of Earth's gravity. Gravity strongly affects many phenomena of fluid physics by creating forces in fluid systems that drive motions, shape boundaries, and compress fluids. Furthermore, the presence of gravitational forces can mask effects that are ever present but comparatively small. In order to experience conditions of near weightlessness (microgravity), an object such as a drop capsule must follow certain paths in the gravitational field. According to theory, these paths can be parabolic, hyperbolic, or circular. Like a space vehicle orbiting around the earth, a capsule in free fall will experience weightlessness. By minimizing friction due to air drag, a high quality microgravity environment during the free fall can be realized. Residual accelerations are usually in the range of 10^-4 to 10^-6 g (g is earth gravity). Some of the research areas in fluid physics and transport phenomena in microgravity that have been studied by microgravity researchers within the College of Engineering include the following. Complex fluids. Complex fluids have a broad range of industrial, biological and environmental applications, such as soaps, polymeric lubricants and emulsifiers, and drug delivery systems. Specific types of complex fluids that have been studied in microgravity include colloids and suspensions, arrays that include nano-scale particles of materials, and granular materials. Interfacial Phenomena. Many natural and technological processes and phenomena, such as coating and painting of surfaces, morphological stability of interfaces during crystallization, oil recovery from shale, and liquid mediated chemical reactors, rely on the fluid mechanics of the solid-liquid-gas interface. Earth gravity tends to overwhelm the effects of the surface tension force except for very small scale experiments. In microgravity the importance of surface tension is magnified considerably, allowing its characteristics to be studied with much greater precision and confidence. Specific areas of interfacial research include: solid-liquid interactions, coalescence and aggregation, drops and bubbles, and unsteady flows.

Multiphase Flow and Phase Change. Because of relatively large density differences between various phases usually encountered in multiphase systems, gravity tends to exert a controlling influence on multiphase flows. Many advanced concepts for power generation, energy storage, thermal management systems rely on a good understanding of multiphase flow and phase change. Microgravity provides a unique opportunity to understand the behaviour of such

34

systems without the masking effects of earth’s gravity. Examples of the research that takes place in this area include flow regimes and regime transitions, pool and flow boiling, gas-liquid flow through packed beds. Flammability and Fire Research. Flammability is an important consideration when selecting materials for space travel, including clothing. While astronauts wear clothing made of inherently flame-resistant materials during some portions of a flight, most of their time in space is spent wearing cotton and other materials that are not flame resistant. Research in this area includes developing tests that can be used to evaluate the flammability of fabric tests during flights on NASA’s KC-135 low gravity aircraft. Biofluids. Fluid mechanics and transport processes play a critical role in many biological and physiological systems and processes. A better understanding of the underlying fluid physics can provide new insight for analyzing and designing new systems. Research areas include biofluid mechanics, biocrystals and biomaterials. Material Science. New materials with higher quality and purity are being developed in reduced gravity environments. For example, the ability to mix new alloys of immiscible substances, new forms of glasses and ceramics with high purity, and the lack of sedimentation provide unique opportunities in this field. Other areas of importance include protein crystal growth, and high purity separation and refining of cells and proteins, the latter of which creates opportunities for new drugs and pharmaceutical products. 3. Collaborations Internationally, the Microgravity Research Group has had formal and informal affiliations with numerous institutes/space organizations, including NASA Glenn Research Center; National Center for Microgravity Research (US); Center for Applied Space Technology & Microgravity (ZARM) at the University of Bremen (Germany); Hokkaido National Industrial Research Institute (Japan); Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Kyushu University (Japan); Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse (France); National Microgravity Laboratory, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 4. Research Funds: Over the past five years, the Microgravity Group has attracted significant research funding. In total, the group in Mechanical Engineering has been awarded close to 1.4 million from a variety of sources including NSERC, the Canadian Space Agency, the Province of Saskatchewan and industry.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

The mission of the Division of Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan is to address the modern environmental problems faced by our society. There is a strong demand for the technical ability to solve environmental problems based on sound engineering principles. Research in the Division of Environmental Engineering assists in the development of scientific knowledge and tools to control, minimize, and prevent environmental degradation. The Program is unique in that, as with all other graduate programs in the College of Engineering, there is a focus on Saskatchewan needs and engineering problems related to the environment. The Division is an interdisciplinary teaching, research and administrative organization. The terms of reference for the Division are:

• promote and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration in environmental engineering,

• promote and facilitate education, research and development in environmental engineering,

• encourage students within the College of Engineering to pursue advanced studies in environmental engineering,

• interact with organizations external to the College of Engineering in environmental engineering and technology,

• promote public awareness of environmental engineering, • review course offerings suitable for students of environmental engineering, make

recommendations to avoid unnecessary duplication, and recommend the development of new courses as considered desirable,

• act as a consultative organization concerning the employment of new staff, thereby promoting training and research in environmental engineering, and

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL AND BIORESOURCE ENGINEERING

Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering integrates conventional engineering science, engineering design, and applied physical and biological sciences for the solution of problems involving plants and animals and the natural environment. The Department’s research program is grouped into three general theme areas: bioprocess engineering, engineering for crop and animal production, and engineering for natural resource management. Applications are found in agriculture, food and value-added processing, forestry, and waste management. Research in the Department is directed toward each of these developments. Bioprocess engineering research projects focus upon drying, storage, and adding value to agricultural materials. Current projects in the Department involve the determination of physical characteristics of pulse grains and their products, in support of improvements to processing, storage, and transportation of pulses. A number of projects aim to investigate the utilization of flax fiber from oilseed flax in biocomposites. The purpose is to develop flax fibre-polymer compounds ready for use in rotational, extrusion and compression plastics industry. A number of projects look at forage processing such as the disinfestations of Hessian fly in compressed timothy bales and the drying of compressed hay bales. Another on-going research project includes the development of novel drying and extraction systems for processing medicinal plants, spice crops, biomaterials and prairie fruits. Another project looks at optimizing cooking process to reduce energy consumption during food processing and optimize product quality. Other projects involve the pelleting and cubing of alfalfa and prairie-based feed ingredients, use of electrotechnology for value-added processing, research on the utilization of agri-based fibres, the collection and densification of biofuels, and cooking process optimization. These projects are directed towards utilization of biological and agricultural materials for increased added value processes and improvements to the products to be more competitive in the world market place. Research projects in the engineering for crop and animal production area deal with several topics. An example is the investigation of the spectral characteristics of biological materials such as soil, plants, and manure with the intent of discriminating between plants (crops and weeds). The spectral characteristics of plants allow for better targeted application of herbicides. Two other projects deal with the modeling of farm machinery for improved manufacturing and operating efficiency. One of these projects is to model the specific energy for a forage harvester working at high speed, and the other involves modeling of a large square baler with the objective to increase bale density. Other research projects involve the study of the energy required for deep tillage and energy requirements for high-speed tillage.

64

On the animal production side, several projects deal with enhancing hog production facilities in the province. A comprehensive research project is underway to assess the actual impact of such development. Research is being carried out to evaluate problems concerning contaminants in livestock buildings to reduce the negative impact on both workers and animals. Animal welfare is also the major impetus in a project that involves transport of broiler chickens, where the aim is for better temperature and humidity distribution within trailers carrying broiler chickens. Other projects, undertaken in cooperation with researchers in Québec, Alberta, and Manitoba deal with the evaluation of greenhouse gas and odour emissions from hog production buildings and manure storage facilities. Work is also being carried out to analyze and model machine-manure interactions to improve the design and operation of systems used for the application of solid and semi-solid waste on agricultural land. Projects in the natural resource management area relate directly to the animal production. One such project involves the comparison of water quality and soil productivity between land fertilized with manure and land fertilized with inorganic material. Other projects deal with feedlot hydrology (to more accurately forecast runoff volumes and water quality) and the design and monitoring of earthen manure storages (EMS). Laboratory studies are also conducted to determine reactive transport parameters associated with seepage from EMS, the development of monitoring systems for the determination of changes in oxidation-reduction potential during seepage, determination of microbial populations beneath EMS, long term monitoring of seepage effects, and development of methods for optimum design of liners. A related project included in the natural resource management area is one of examining the impact of agricultural and industrial chemicals on water quality. A very important research project with international and humanitarian implications is the characterization of human and machine/tool forces upon the soil surface that may detonate anti-personnel land mines. A few of the recent accomplishments in this project have been the successful evaluation of a prototype mechanism, called the Mine Hammer in neutralizing replica mines to depths of 200 mm in various environmental conditions. Other investigations have included the assessment of chain flail performances, investigations into protective footwear, the development of a repeatable methodology to assess soil force and deflection transmission from surface load on soil of varying compaction and moisture content. During the year, the Department received $1,459,134 in research funds from external sources; $371,570 of this came from NSERC. Other granting agencies included the NRC-IRAP, Saskatchewan Agriculture, Food and Rural Revitalization, Sask Pork, Canada Pork Council, AARI, Department of National Defense, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Alberta Odour Control Initiative, Manitoba Livestock Manure Management Initiative, Sask Biopolymer Environmental Technology, John Deere, CNH, Sommer Green Forages, Green Prairie International and the Saskatchewan Flax Development Commission. There were a total of 10 refereed journal papers, 18 papers in conference proceedings and 61 papers presented at conferences. Faculty members in the Department served as supervisors for 37 graduate students (12 Ph.D., and 25 M.Sc.), of which four M.Sc. students graduated during the year. An additional two students were supervised by our faculty but registered in the Division of Environmental Engineering. C.P. Maulé, Department of Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Members of the Department of Chemical Engineering have been actively involved in fundamental and applied research, aligning with the University’s strategic directions: biotechnology, energy, and environment. These directions can be further subdivided into: biochemical engineering, chemical reaction engineering, corrosion, environmental remediation, fluid mechanics, renewable energy, separation technology, and thermodynamics.

In the areas of biochemical engineering and environmental remediation, the research topics included mass transfer of volatile organic compounds, bioremediation of contaminated air and industrial wastewater, characteristics of immobilized enzyme, metabolic regulation of cells, gene and protein expression profiling for fuel alcohol production, cellular global organization and protein-protein interaction, and anaerobic reduction of sulfate. Chemical reaction engineering and bioenergy research included the development of process for the catalytic oxidation of low concentration hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans in gases, the steam gasification of chars and bio-oils, the production of diesel fuel additives from various vegetable oils, hydro processing of heavy and light gas oils derived from Athabasca bitumen, hydrogen or syngas production from crude ethanol, glycerol and diesel fuel from lard, hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oils to liquid fuels, sonochemical processing of heavy oil, activated carbon production from biochar and coal, the catalytic reforming of greenhouse gases, and economic assessment of by-products from an ethanol plant. Corrosion studies covered systems involving potash brines, mineral slurries, oil/gas production, and nuclear waste disposal. The research in fluid mechanics included studies of the hydrodynamics and performance of gas-solid fluidized beds, slurry pipeline flow, and the migration and coalescence of bitumen froth water droplets in a shear field. Research in thermodynamics included the multiway principle component analysis of fluidized bed drying, the development of an equation of state for associating systems, and the experimental study of the phase behavior of bitumen-containing systems. The research was carried out with a base faculty of ten professors. In addition, there were six emeriti professors, six adjunct professors, five professional affiliates, seven post-doctoral fellows/research engineers, one visiting fellow, one administrative assistant, three technicians, and two secretaries. There were a total of 40 graduate students (26 M.Sc. and 14 Ph.D.); among them, twenty-five (62.5%) were international students and eleven (27.5%) were female. One Ph.D. and eight M.Sc. degrees were awarded in 2003-2004. The total financial support for research was $1,447,439, of which $822,968 (56.9% of the total) was received from NSERC. The balanced consisted of grants from other government agencies and contracts from various industry sectors. Fourteen refereed journal papers authored or co-authored by our faculty members were published during this academic year. In addition, other contributions made by the

80

members of the Department of Chemical Engineering included19 proceeding articles, 21 conference presentations, fourteen invited lectures, and fourteen technical reports. Research achievements have been widely recognized this year. Dr. Dalai received Syncrude Owl Award and Kentucky Colonel Award; Dr. Evitts was named the Educator of the Year. Mr. Kevin Heppner received Canada Graduate Scholarship ($35,000 per year for a duration of three years), and Mr. Hardi Sulimma was the recipient of Canadian Merit Award by the Society of Chemical Industry.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Civil and Geological Engineering now combines two programs: Civil Engineering and Geological Engineering. Civil Engineering has six major areas of specialization: (i) environmental engineering; (ii) hydro technical engineering; (iii) geotechnical/geo-environmental engineering; (iv) materials; (v) structures; and (vi) transportation engineering. The term geo-environmental has been introduced to represent a combination of the geotechnical and environmental areas. Areas of specializations in Geological Engineering include: (i) geotechnical/geo-environmental (ii) hydrogeology, and (iii) rock mechanics. During the report period, the Department had 19 faculty members, six professor's emeriti, seven adjunct professors, one associate member, one professional affiliate, four research engineers, a research officer, five technicians and four secretaries. Several faculty members were engaged in a variety of interdisciplinary research activities. In total, there were 66 graduate students enrolled in the Department of Civil and Geological Engineering. A total of 10 graduate degrees, which included three Ph.D.’s and seven M.Sc.’s, were awarded during 2003-2004. The principal research interests of the Geological Engineering group are: reservoir simulation, petroleum hydrogeology and geomechanics, underground mine design and rock-slope stability, and hydrogeology and environmental protection. Rock mechanics projects include research on the mechanisms of rock slope failures, prevention of borehole collapse in deep oil and gas wells, underground instrumentation, and monitoring open stope stability and dilution studies. Research in the environmental and hydro geological areas include: work on solution of potash bearing rocks and tailings evaluation of bedrock aquifers for ground water production, risk analysis for point and diffuse-source contamination of regional, shallow, surficial aquifers, and analysis of gas migration through natural fractures during geological storage of carbon dioxide. The environmental/sanitary engineering group is conducting several research programs in water and wastewater treatment and water quality. These include studies in the areas of membranes for solids separation in biological wastewater treatment, coagulation flocculation at low temperatures, eutrophication of lakes, nutrient removal in constructed treatment wetlands, urban runoff, and water quality modelling related to forestry operations. Research by the hydro technical group was carried out on several fronts. One study involved the temporal uptake by and the spatial distribution of nutrients within wetland plants in an experimental study of a constructed treatment wetland, while another focused on the development of a new approach to surface water quality management based on total maximum daily loads. Several studies were carried out on hydrological systems, including the application of a system dynamics approach to water balance and watershed modeling in the context of oil sands development and the associated hydrological

98

impacts, the use of a data-driven methodology (statistical and artificial neural networks) to modeling environmental data, and the use of multi-criterion decision analysis for evaluating the performance and sustainability of water resource systems (e.g., watersheds). Artificial neural network technology was also applied to the analysis of hydraulic model study data. Two model studies were initiated during the year, one on the local scour around bridge piers with a focus on scour mitigation strategies and the other on the backwater impact of multiple spurs within a river system. Some work was also done on nature-like fish ways and on the water quality of urban runoff from the City of Saskatoon to the South Saskatchewan River In geotechnical and geo-environmental areas, studies continued on soil covers, soil-structure interaction modelling, geosynthetics, engineering geology of glaciated soils, unsaturated soil behaviour, slope stability analysis, and flux boundary conditions. Field-based research was conducted on the performance of reclamation covers, watersheds associated with oil sands and uranium mining as well as measurement of in-situ stresses in glaciated soils using pressure meter. Laboratory studies were undertaken on the soil-water characteristic curve, characterization of lateral stress anisotropy in glaciated soils and effect of oxidation on clay shale of Saskatchewan. Research was conducted on properties of geosynthetics, compatibility of geosynthetic clay liners and the shear strength of the soil-geosynthetic interface. Research in materials included experimental and theoretical studies on the performance of fibre-reinforced concrete, high performance concrete, and fibre-reinforced polymers and their application to solve durability and rehabilitation problems in structural engineering. Numerical studies of the mechanical behaviour of interpenetrating phase composites with different microstructures were also performed. The structures group continued research on full-scale testing of structural members and the application of computer methods to analysis and design. Research was also carried out on composite construction, structural masonry, wind engineering, and structural health monitoring. The transportation group continued research on mechanistic road materials characterization, road performance modeling, pavement performance response to high axle loading, intelligent transportation systems, traffic safety, infrastructure engineering and management, life cycle engineering and costing and life cycle performance prediction of infrastructure systems. Financial support for research for the Department totaled $1,411,307 of which 43.4 percent (or $612,940) came from NSERC. A total of 94 publications and technical reports were produced which included 10 papers in refereed journals, 62 papers in conference proceedings and 22 research reports. In addition, 11 papers were presented but not published. M.D. Haug Department of Civil and Geological Engineering

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering is the broadest discipline in engineering and one of the most active in terms of applying new knowledge to solving technical problems of practical interest. The Department maintains a comprehensive research program that is aligned with the University’s strategic priorities. This research program encompasses five theme areas: 1) fluid dynamics, thermal science, microgravity, and energy; 2) solid mechanics, machine design and biosciences; 3) intelligent systems, controls, and mechatronics; 4) material science and metallurgy; and 5) advanced engineering design, manufacturing, and Microsystems technology. The Department currently has 17 faculty members, seven emeritus professors, and five adjunct professors. The active research programs range from fundamental investigations intended to advance theoretical understanding to practical studies intended to solve current industrial and environmental problems. This past year Dr. Daniel Chen joined the Department. Dr. Chen's general research area is Mechatronics with a present focus on precision fluid manipulation and engineered tissue scaffolds. With respect to faculty recognition, a number of faculty members were recognized for their excellence in teaching and research. Dr. Allan Dolovich was nominated for a University of Saskatchewan Student Union Teaching Excellence Award. Dr. Richard Burton was elected as a Fellow of the ASME. Dr. Madan Gupta received two international awards: the Exceptional Service Award at the International Symposium on Uncertain Modeling and Analysis (2003), and the Distinguished Fellow Award for contributions to the IEEE activities (2003). Dr. Chris Zhang received a Guest Professorship Award from Shandong University (2003). Ms. Jane Cavanagh, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, was the recipient of the 2003 Amelia Earhart Fellowship Award by Zonta International (one of three Canadian women and of 35 women around the world to receive the fellowship). The fluid dynamics, thermal sciences, microgravity, and energy group continues to actively pursue research in areas such as: bluff body and vortex shedding flows; thermal management using two-phase flow, including heat transfer applications in microgravity (e.g., simulated space environments); turbulent boundary layers and wall jets; large eddy simulation of buoyant and near-wall flows; moisture exchange in buildings; and heat and moisture transfer in granular potash. Dr. C. Simonson received a new grant from the Communities of Tomorrow for research into advanced active and passive design for optimum home heating and cooling. Research in solid mechanics, machine design and biosciences includes: computer modeling and simulation of structures and materials (such as composites); computer-aided structural optimization and smart structures; holographic interferometry for stress and vibration measurements; non-linear stress analysis; tribology of biodiesel fueled engines; biomechanics; and bio-informatics. In the area of intelligent systems, controls and mechatronics, specific projects include the use of neural networks for condition monitoring in hydraulic control systems; state estimation;

132

application of neural systems and fuzzy logic to dual fuel engine control; neuro-vision, neuro-control and neuro-fuzzy logic; and the development of high performance actuation systems. Dr. R. Burton and Dr. S. Habibi received a new grant (Phase II) from the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) and Precarn to develop new control systems for fuel cell and natural gas vehicles. Dr. Gupta received a new grant from Precarn and Analog Design Automation and Synopsys. The group is a member of IRIS and of the Network of Centers of Excellence (NCE) on water supply management. Activity in material science and metallurgy includes research on: corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion of metals; thermal fatigue of composites; wear of materials; decomposition processes and development of new alloys for composite matrices; creep behavior of high alloy steels; materials selection for potash brine environments; and advanced metallic coatings. Research in advanced engineering design, manufacturing, and Microsystems technology includes: adaptive manufacturing systems; flow-based manufacturing technology and process; human-machine interface; integrated design, fabrication and control of intelligent macro-micro and MEM systems for semiconductor industry, design and fabrication of tissue scaffolds for cells culture, and biomedical engineering. Dr. Zhang received two new grants from MPB and Hinz Industries. A significant number of the research projects identified above included the involvement of several industrial partners who provided partial funding to the research and/or donated special research infrastructure facilities. For example, in the controls and mechatronics area, the Saskatchewan Research Council continued to support research into condition monitoring and control of natural gas vehicles. In the metallurgy area, Hitachi Canadian Industries continued to support research on creep in materials for turbine applications using experimental equipment they donated to the Department. In the area of advanced engineering design and manufacturing, MPB (Montreal), ASM (Hong Kong), Hinz (Saskatoon), and NRC IMTI provided direct grants for research into information technology, smart sensors development, human centered automation systems, and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. In the area of fluid dynamics and thermal sciences, the group continued to receive funding for: research into slurry flow from Syncrude Canada Ltd. and NSERC; investigation of the formation of gas bubbles in a simulated rock fracture in a buoyancy free environment from the Canadian Space Agency; heat and moisture exchange in building ventilation from Venmar; and for the modeling and the measurement of moisture accumulation in Potash from PCS. In the area of solid mechanics, the group received funding from CNH Saskatoon for research into fatigue strength analysis in laser cut welding. Other organizations that supported research projects over the past year included: the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission, Hitachi Canadian Industries, Alcan International, and Analog Design Automation Inc. This past year, faculty members contributed to progress in science and technology through publishing articles in reputable national and international journals (45 papers), and through presenting their research results at major conferences around the world (49 papers). Presentations and seminars were also given at local and international meetings (14 presentations.) The total research funding for 2003-2004 amounted to

133

$1,379,320. The support received from NSERC was $887,044, and from other sources $492,276. During this reporting period, the Department had 97 graduate students (27 Ph.D., 65 M.Sc., two M.Eng., and three P.G.D.). One P.G.D., 15 M.Sc., and six Ph.D. degrees were awarded. The assistance of Ms. April Wettig in preparing this research report is gratefully acknowledged. C. Zhang, Member Graduate Studies and Research Committee Department of Mechanical Engineering

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING PHYSICS

There are 26 faculty members within the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, including: 17 Full Professors (four Canada Research Chairs, two on Leave of Absence, one on Administrative Leave and one Supernumerary); two Associate Professors; three Assistant Professors; and four Term Assistant Professors. The research areas of these faculty fall into four main physics themes and therefore most faculty are members of the four main research groups in the Department: The Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies (ISAS), the Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL), The Subatomic Physics Institute (SPIN) and the Condensed Matter Physics (CM) group.

The Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies group continues to emphasize

the development and operation of observational experiments and systems for both space-borne and ground-based applications. These research programs, with the attendant science associated with the analyses of the data, are consistent with high profile and well funded Canadian Space Agency themes of Atmospheric and Space “Environments”, along with significant support from NSERC.

The major “Space Environment” program uses a global-international array of

HF radars called “SuperDARN”. This array of 16 radars, nine in the northern and seven in the southern hemisphere, is being expanded (15 more radars are being added). The ISAS SuperDARN group heads the Canadian participation, installs and maintains the radars (Saskatoon and Prince George), operates the International Data Copy and Distribution Facility from which all SuperDARN data is distributed, and prepares the monthly operating schedules for all radars. The main aim of SuperDARN is to study the “Space Weather” conditions at altitudes where satellites (and astronauts) operate. Space weather conditions result from the input of energy to the earth’s magnetosphere from the solar wind. These conditions can become very disturbed during “magnetic storms” and can destroy satellite electronic systems and cause disruption of the electrical energy distribution grid.

The successful 2004 SuperDARN International Workshop held at Hotel Bessborough May 24-28 was attended by 74 delegates. A prototype model of a new wire antenna system was constructed in November 2003. The antennas survived the winter very well, and all the antenna tests were very successful. Use of these new antennas will lower the construction costs of a radar by about $250,000. The Canadian plan is build two new paired radars (called “PolarDARN”) at Rankin Inlet and Inuvik. The construction of the Rankin Inlet radar is being funded through the CFI grant to Dr. J.-P. St.-Maurice, the new Canada Research Chair in ISAS, and partial funding for the Inuvik radar has been obtained from the US National Science Foundation (NSF). Observations with PolarDARN will provide essential details about the ionospheric and magnetospheric

154

processes in the “polar cap” region surrounding the Earth’s magnetic pole. A close collaboration with the new US NSF AMISR incoherent scatter radar program at Resolute Bay will result.

During the last year the InfraRed Group (IRG) in the Institute has continued to use observations made with the Canadian built OSIRIS instrument currently in operation on the Swedish satellite Odin. The OSIRIS data set now spans more than three full years. In the past year members of the IRG have investigated the geographic distribution of Polar Mesospheric Clouds as well as the sizes and light scattering properties of the ice crystals that make up these clouds. Other mesospheric work has focused on the retrieval of ground state hydroxyl from the OSIRIS measurements, investigation of ozone depletion following solar proton events, the existence of a third peak in the vertical ozone profile and the discovery of an unknown production mechanism for the singlet delta state of molecular oxygen. The IRG has also been involved in the investigation of high altitude sub-visual cirrus clouds as well as the light scattering properties of Polar Stratospheric Clouds. Also, new methods that use the OSIRIS data for the retrieval of stratospheric sulphate aerosol extinction parameters and vertical ozone profiles from the upper troposphere through to the lower mesosphere have been developed within the group. Along with the OSIRIS project, members of the IRG are also involved in other Canadian Space Agency projects such as ACE-SCISAT, SHOW, MOPITT-2 and WaMI; all of these are existing or future satellite missions. As well, the IRG has begun to refurbish the ISAS optics lab to use as a construction and calibration facility for ground-based and balloon-borne instrumentation.

The Atmospheric Dynamics Group continues to operate its three MF Radar systems in Saskatoon, Tromso (Norway) and Platteville (Colorado). These, along with radars in a global network of similar systems worldwide, are used to measure the winds and waves of the middle atmosphere (60-100 km) and relate these to the dynamics of the lower atmosphere (the weather), and to the chemical and thermal state of the atmosphere. The science themes of 2003/4 have included comparisons between radar observations and predictions from the Canadian general circulation model (CMAM); and of global linkages between fluctuations in tropospheric-stratospheric ozone, stratospheric planetary waves and the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. Enhanced understanding of atmospheric dynamics (0-100km) is essential to properly understand the downward coupling effects within the atmosphere, as well as the sources and sinks of significant chemicals such as ozone. These are also the signals of “Climate Change”.

Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL) maintains strong research activity in

magnetic fusion and also rapidly expanding research in plasma assisted material synthesis and processing. The STOR-M in the Laboratory is the only tokamak in Canada devoted to magnetic fusion research. PPL is a member of the IAEA Collaborative Research Projects participated by tokamak research groups around the world. IAEA recognizes the importance and relevance of research contributions made by small tokamaks to the ITER which will be the next generation tokamak expected to demonstrate burning DT fusion fuel.

155

Exploiting the flexibility of small tokamak, the STOR-M leads in development of novel tokamak operations, fueling methods, and advanced plasma diagnostics. AC (alternating current) operation was first demonstrated in the STOR-1M tokamak which has been followed in several tokamaks including the JET (Joint European Torus). PPL has been involved in developing the technology of compact torus (CT) injection since its inception. The CT injection program is receiving more attentions now and PPL has been invited for collaboration by several groups. The STOR-M program continues to attract excellent students and PDFs. Active, internationally recognized research is also maintained in tokamak stability analyses, transport analyses, and nonlinear plasma dynamics.

Since 2000, research in Plasma Physics Laboratory has been rapidly expanding

into the area of plasma based material synthesis and processing. Funding for this new initiative is provided by the Canada Research Chair Program. The Laboratory is becoming a major research centre of carbon nanostructures and their industrial applications. In the Laboratory, diamond synthesis at unusually low (250° C) temperature has been achieved and diamond thin films can now be coated on low melting point materials such as polymers without damaging or changing substrates. Mass production of carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been demonstrated in a microwave plasma reactor and application of CNT in oil refinery industry is being investigated in collaboration with Dr. A.K. Dalai in Chemical Engineering (NSERC SPG). Biomedical polymers used in cardiovascular applications as artificial blood vessels have been coated by DLC (diamond-like-carbons for improved haemocompatibility as a part of NSERC Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) grant. Strong synergy is being formed with other researchers on and off campus in material science.

Professor M. Bradley joined PPL in 2003. His expertise is in ion implantation.

Plasma ion implantation is an innovative material modification technique whereby controlled quantities of desired impurities are implanted into target materials by applying high-voltage negative pulses to a target immersed in a plasma (a gas of ions and electrons) composed of the ions to be implanted. Material properties are highly dependent on the composition and distribution of impurities within the material; because it allows precisely controlled insertion of impurities at controlled depths, plasma ion implantation is one of the most versatile techniques available for the modification of material properties. A high-voltage pulser has been designed and built, and in the ICP plasma chamber recently acquired by the Laboratory, the first implantation of He in Si substrate was achieved. The ultimate objective is to fabricate submicron cavities in Si for photonics applications.

The Subatomic Physics Institute (SPIN) includes experimental and theoretical

physicists studying both pure and applied aspects of subatomic physics. This includes experimental investigations of fundamental nuclear and nucleon properties using photonuclear reactions. This work is done using facilities such as the Duke University High Intensity Gamma Source (HIGS) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in the USA, as well as other facilities around the world. Recent research has centred on the photodisintegration of few-body nuclei and the measurement of

156

nucleon polarizabilities using nuclear Compton scattering. One member carries out experimental research in Japan, Germany and Holland and is conducting experiments on quantum entanglement, a fundamental result of quantum theory. Theoretical work includes Radiative Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, Particle Physics Theory, and Particle Astrophysics studies on the Dark Matter Problem and the Origin of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays.

The Condensed Matter Physics group is to large extent involved in synchrotron-

based research that will make use of the Canadian Light Source, laboratory-based research, and theoretical studies. A new beamline at CLS headed by Dr. A. Moewes at U. of S. and Dr George Sawatzky from UBC was funded by CFI in April 2004. The beamline for resonant elastic and inelastic X-ray scattering (REIXS) will be a world-wide unique tool for materials science. The research focus of the condensed matter group is on studying electronic properties and structure of advanced materials such as high temperature superconductors, biomaterials, and nanoscale surface structures. These materials and structures have promising new electronic, optical, magnetic, photochemical, and biological properties and are studied using synchrotron-based techniques such as X-ray absorption and X-ray emission spectroscopy and other experimental techniques including scanning tunnelling microscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron diffraction. A strong effort has been made to study different forms of DNA, in collaboration with professors from Chemistry and Biochemistry. A large-scale PC cluster is being set up by Dr. K. Tanaka to expedite theoretical studies of nanoscale superconductivity and strong electron correlations. Dr. Andrew Robinson and Dr. Gap Soo Chang have been appointed as Assistant Professors. Dr. Robinson’s research will exploit the scanning probe microscopy facility and will investigate the self-assembly of nanometer-sized nitride structures on metals using low energy ion implantation techniques. Dr. Chang studies concern magnetic materials and thin films in order to develop new storage devices.

There are 48 graduate students registered (34 M.Sc. and 14 Ph.D.). Two M.Sc. and two Ph.D. degrees were awarded. Funding for research totals in excess of $3M per year, of which more than $1.5M comes from NSERC. R.E. Pywell, Head Department of Physics and Engineering Physics
