Proposal of a Rapid Model Updating and Feedback Control Scheme for Polymer Flooding Processes APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE:

Simulation Study of Salinity Effect on Polymer Flooding in Core Scale

In this study, simulation of low salinity polymer flooding in the core scale is investigated using Eclipse-100 simulator. For this purpose, two sets of data are used. The first set of data were adopted from the results of experimental studies conducted at the University of Bergen, performed using Berea sandstone and intermediate oil. The second data set, related to sand pack and heavy oil syste...

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints

A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...
