1. Transitional flow in ordered porous media
Abstract : Porous media, here defined as any permeable structure allowing a fluid to flow through, are relevant to a multitude of engineering applications and natural processes. The observed macroscopic properties of the porous media such as mixing, heat transfer and apparent permeability are properties which are affected by the flow and especially the type of flow, or flow region.

2. Transition in Particle-laden Flows
Abstract : This thesis presents the study of laminar to turbulent transition of particle laden flows. When a flow becomes turbulent, the drag increases one order of magnitude compared to a laminar flow, therefore, much research is devoted to understand and influence the transition. READ MORE

3. Reduction of Audible Noise of a Traction Motor at PWM Operation
Abstract : A dominating source for the radiated acoustic noise from a train at low speeds is the traction motor. This noise originates from electromagnetic forces acting on the structure resulting in vibrations on the surface and thus radiated noise. It is often perceived as annoying due to its tonal nature.

4. Transition to turbulence in the asymptotic suction boundary layer
Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on the numerical study of subcritical transition to turbulence in the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL). Applying constant homogeneous suction prevents the spatial growth of the boundary layer, granting access to the asymptotic dynamics. READ MORE

5. Stability and transition on wind turbine blades
Abstract : Transition on wind turbine blades is a highly complex phenomenon due to the myriad effects influencing the process. This thesis studies some of them, namely free-stream turbulence (FST), rotation, and three-dimensionality. The investigations employ large eddy simulations (LES) with and without (implicit or wall-resolved LES) a subgrid-scale model. READ MORE
