Étude de l’effet des tolérances d’assemblage sur la performance d’une pompe centrifuge multiétage à l’aide de la mécanique des fluides numérique

Le projet de recherche consiste à étudier l’effet des tolérances de fabrication sur les performances d’une pompe multiétage. En collaboration avec Waterax, une entreprise spécialisée dans la fabrication de pompes portables pour combattre les incendies de forêt, le stagiaire utilisera des simulations numériques pour comprendre comment le positionnement axial de la roue affecte différents métriques, tels que la pression développée et les pertes par composantes. Afin de bien prendre en compte les effets que ces déplacements ont sur la pompe, les débits de fuite circulant dans les jeux entre les différentes composantes devront être considérés dans les simulations. En effet, bien qu’il soit plus complexe à simuler, l’écoulement au travers ces jeux est grandement affecté par le positionnement des composantes et représente une perte importante dans les pompes. Cette analyse permettra à Waterax de mieux comprendre certains résultats obtenus et d’optimiser leurs processus de fabrication et de conception pour produire des pompes de façon plus fiable.

Upholding Truth and Reconciliation: Correlates and causes of ongoing Indigenous cases and gaps in mental health services in child welfare in the Waterloo Region

What are the causes and correlates of Indigenous children disengaging with the child welfare system of the Waterloo region? Are child welfare agencies in the Waterloo region promoting Indigenous mental health by upholding the principles within the Truth and Reconciliation’s calls to action? What preventative measures were taken to prevent disengagement of Indigenous children and their caregivers? This project will ask these questions through a systematic review of 50 ongoing cases (N =50) from 2017-2023. This research will identify the correlates influencing Indigenous children and youth’s that enter the system as well as their caregivers involved in the child welfare system in the Region of Waterloo. Using content coding, common themes among ongoing cases will be identified. The extent to which child welfare agencies have followed the principles of Truth and Reconciliation, and the presence of mental health support for Indigenous people involved in the child welfare system will also be identified. Following this report, recommendations will be delivered to Family and Children Services of Waterloo Region, and various regional decision makers (if deemed appropriate).

Flocking behavior research

Flocking behavior is the behavior exhibited when a group of birds, called a flock, are foraging or in flight. There are parallels with the shoaling behavior of fish, the swarming behavior of insects, and herd behavior of land animals. What we want to do is to build the mathematics models and use these models to describe the flocking phenomenon. Many mathematics scientists have made great contribution to study the flocking phenomenon. We will use the knowledge of the differential dynamical system to study it. Based on the work done for resent ten years, we will do this research for two steps. First, we will build a new flocking model with leaders and try to study the proper of this model. Second, after finish the first step study work, we want to optimize the initial conditions of C-S model and use the La Salle’s Invariance Principle to solve this problem.

Investigating pathogen prevalence in a geographically isolated community of bumble bees

Bumble bees are threatened worldwide, and among several impacts to their populations are pathogens which impact colony health and success. This is a concern for captive breeding programs aimed at enhancing populations with pathogen-free colonies. In this research we partner with Wildlife Preservation Canada who maintain breeding programs and use a novel method for detecting pathogen prevalence in wild and captive bumble bees. The intern will be trained on quantifying pathogen loads non-destructively in bumble bees and work with an established team on Pelee Island, the southernmost point in Canada. Here we suspect pathogen prevalence to be low or non-existent because of disconnection from the mainland. There are also many imperiled bumble bee species present on the island including those targeted by WPC. The intern will interact with WPC who will additionally conduct a comparable study on the mainland. Both teams will share their findings with partners in Quebec.

3-Dimensional Construction Printing: Process Optimization

Ever-growing concerns related to affordable housing and climate change in Canada and beyond have necessitated innovative approaches in the construction industry. The construction industry is poised for new technologies that will address the housing crisis, particularly in northern and remote areas, and mitigate infrastructure needs in flood-prone areas (e.g., retaining walls). Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has revolutionized manufacturing and is well-suited to address large-scale construction challenges. Despite recent progress in 3D construction printing (3DCP), there are still major limitations in current systems related to reliable printable materials, optimization of the process, and the weak interlayers resulting from the layered fabrication process. Initially, this project delves into material characterization, including developing a concrete mix model for Finite Element (FE) analysis. At the same time, strength-curing time analysis and layer bonding investigations will be performed to ascertain optimal deposition thickness and rate. Then, in the next step, patterns for constructing hollow walls will be studied to find the optimal pattern to enhance transverse stiffness, buckling stability, and deposition time while ensuring satisfactory structural strength properties. Furthermore, FE analysis will be conducted to assess the bonding properties between the deposition layers and will be validated through experimental studies. Emphasizing the integration of theoretical modelling and practical experimentation, the project seeks to advance 3DCP technology, offering solutions to housing shortages in the face of global demographic shifts and climate-induced challenges. The outcomes aim to contribute significantly to the construction industry, promoting efficiency, affordability, and sustainability in housing construction, with potential applications both in Canada and globally.

Geometallurgical simulation of the SART process for cyanide control within gold and silver extraction

Gold and silver are precious metals and are difficult to extract from ores that have complicating minerals. These complicating minerals may in other circumstances be favourable due to their copper and zinc content but are problematic when the main value is the gold and silver. In particular, these copper- and zinc-bearing minerals occupy the cyanide that would otherwise capture the precious metals, thereby increasing the overall cyanide consumption. The SART process (Sulfidation, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening) is capable of regenerating the cyanide that is being consumed by the problematic copper- and zinc-minerals likely, in many cases, increasing the overall competitivity of gold and silver mines. The current project is to adapt an existing simulation framework for gold and silver mines to simulate their operations as-is without SART, and then to simulate their operation with the SART process, so that the comparison could potentially justify the installation of SART.

Quelle instrumentalisation du métabolisme urbain pour le déploiement urbain de l’économie circulaire ?

L’agence d’innovation et de prospective Creative Capital entreprend une démarche novatrice de planification stratégique en urbanisme rassemblant un consortium de parties prenantes diversifiées. Cette démarche consiste dans l’intégration de la circularité dans un plan directeur d’un quartier au Québec. Ce plan doit comprendre des orientations d’aménagement intégrant les principes de l’économie circulaire dans le cadre bâti. À cette fin, l’organisation collabore avec l’équipe académique pour coconstruire le dispositif d’ateliers prospectifs qui structurera la démarche de planification. La singularité de cette collaboration réside dans l’intégration des principes du métabolisme urbain, conférant au dispositif une dimension tout à fait originale. Le cadre du métabolisme urbain invite à appréhender les territoires sous l’angle de la circulation et de l’accumulation des flux de ressources (p.ex. matériaux de construction). Considérée comme une approche diagnostique en économie circulaire, l’application du métabolisme urbain comme outil d’innovation en urbanisme mérite d’être expérimentée, caractérisée et évaluée.
