Confirmation seminar presented by Marin Pjetri
Wind moving over landfills generate pressures on the surface, possibly causing gas exchange with the environment at high than expected rates. This work aims to discover whether this effect is significant using a combination of laboratory experiments and coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics and Porous Media flow models. This can then be used to predict local hotspots of high ghg exchange on the surface of the landfill, potentially making collecting emissions data and landfills cheaper and more efficient.
About Confirmation Seminars
The purpose of the confirmation milestone is to ensure that the candidate receives appropriate feedback in relation to the viability and progress of the thesis project and that the resources required to complete the program of research within the recommended timeframe are available. It is also an opportunity to ensure that the candidate has demonstrated the capacity and capability to successfully complete the thesis in a timely manner.
