  2. 1. Always on the wing - Fluid dynamics, flight performance and flight behavior of common swifts

    Author : Per Henningsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apus apus; aerodynamics; animal flight; kinematics; vortex wake; digital particle image velocimetry; DPIV; common swift; tracking radar; wind tunnel; migration; roosting flight;

    Abstract : The aerodynamics and kinematics behind the flight of animals are relatively unknown. Although animal flight has been studied for several hundreds of years, it is only in recent time that we have the technical abilities to study the mechanistic basis of animal flight. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fuel Mixing in Gas-Solid Fluidized Beds: A Computational and Experimental Study

    Author : Meisam Farzaneh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluidization; Fuel mixing; Eulerian-Eulerian; Particle Image Velocimetry PIV ; Numerical Simulation; Eulerian-Lagrangian;

    Abstract : Fluidized bed technology has been commercially applied over severaldecades. However there is still a lack of knowledge that can provide adetailed understanding of the combustion process in fluidized-bed furnaces. READ MORE

  5. 3. Velocity measurements in a fiber suspension flow: formation of a fiber network

    Author : Gabriele Bellani; Fredrik Lundell; Staffan Lundström; KTH; []
    Keywords : Fluid mechanics; Fiber suspension; Fiber network; PIV; Index of Refraction; Digital image processing;

    Abstract : The aim of the present work is to experimentally study the dynamics of the formation of a fiber network formed from the filtration of a fiber suspension. This is relevant for all industrial applications (e.g. papermaking, productions of composite material, etc. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optical methods for the study of transparent media

    Author : Eva-Lena Johansson; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental Mechanics; Experimentell mekanik;

    Abstract : In the fields of combustion and fluid mechanics, temperature-, density- and velocity fields are of interest to measure. Optical methods may be used to study transparent media, even transient events. Flames, gases and liquids are examples on transparent media, often called phase objects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fluid structure interactiontesting, modelling and development of Passive Adaptive Composite foils

    Author : Laura Marimon Giovannetti; UK University of Southampton; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : High performance foiling catamarans are one of the fastest growing sectors in the sailing and sport industries, allowing athletes to perform in extremely fast and spectacular boats. These boats fly above the water with the aid of foils that not only provide horizontal side-force to counterbalance the aerodynamic forces from the sails, but also deliver vertical force that supports some or all of the mass of the boat.
