  2. 1. The geoid for the Baltic countries determined by the least squares modification of Stokes´formula

    Author : Artu Ellmann; KTH; []
    Keywords : geoid; Stokes;

    Abstract : Precise knowledge of the geoid contributes to the studies ofthe Earth’s interior, the long-term geophysical processesand to oceanography. An accurate regional geoid model, inparticular, enables the user in many cases to replace thetraditional height determination techniques by faster and morecost-effective GPS-levelling. READ MORE

  4. 2. Theory and Applications of Tri-Axial Electromagnetic Field Measurements

    Author : Roger Karlsson; Bo Thid'e; Tobia Carozzi; Gudmund Wannberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space and plasma physics; polarisation; polarization; Stokes parameters; antenna; radio waves; whistler wave; SEE; direction-finding; statistics; Poynting theorem; Rymd- och plasmafysik; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : Polarisation, which was first studied in optics, is a fundamental property of all electromagnetic fields. A convenient way to describe the polarisation of two dimensional electromagnetic fields is given by the Stokes parameters. This thesis deals with different aspects of wave polarisation and electromagnetic field measurements. READ MORE

  5. 3. Acceleration of Compressible Flow Simulations with Edge Using  Implicit Time Stepping

    Author : Evelyn Otero; Arthur Rizzi; Richard P. Dwight; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compressible CFD; Convergence Acceleration; Implicit Time-Stepping; LU-SGS; Upwind Type Dissipation; Line-implicit; Ordering; Parallelization; Parameters; Multigrid;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a significant tool routinely used indesign and optimization in aerospace industry. Often cases with unsteadyflows must be computed, and the long compute times of standard methods hasmotivated the present work on new implicit methods to replace the standardexplicit schemes.

  6. 4. Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Simulations for Complex Industrial Applications : From Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes towards Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

    Author : Md Lokman Hosain; Rebei Bel Fdhila; Konstantinos Kyprianidis; Erik Dahlquist; Hailong Li; Moncho Gomez Gesteira; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Heat transfer; Industrial applications; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics; Energy enginnering; Thermal Management; Process control; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Optimal process control can significantly enhance energy efficiency of heating and cooling processes in many industries. Process control systems typically rely on measurements and so called grey or black box models that are based mainly on empirical correlations, in which the transient characteristics and their influence on the control parameters are often ignored.

  7. 5. Surface characterization methods for quality assessment of polyethylene-coated paperboard

    Author : Javier Mauricio Brugés; Jan Lundgren; Mattias Andersson; Mikael Sjödahl; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polarization; surface characterization; Stokes polarimeter; polyethylene coating; paperboard;

    Abstract : In manufacturing processes, the quality of a product often depends on its surface, and careful control of surface properties is critical to meet customer requirements. A thin layer of polyethylene (PE) is applied to paperboard to increase barrier functionality and high optical quality of the product. READ MORE
