1. Numerical study of particle suspensions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Abstract : Solid or deformable particles suspended in a viscous fluid are of scientific and technological interest in a broad range of applications. Pyroclastic flows from volcanoes, sedimentation flows in river bed, food industries, oil-well drilling, as well as blood flow in the human body and the motion of suspended micro-organisms in water (like plankton) are among the possible examples.

2. Modelling tools for quieter vehicles : Waves in poro– and visco–elastic continua
Abstract : New modelling tools intended to contribute to the development of components for quieter vehicles are developed. The tools are based on continuum models for wave propagation in poro– and visco–elastic media. By using geometric attributes of the studied components, the computational cost may be radically decreased compared to traditional methods. READ MORE

4. Mechanisms of adaptation in a mechanoreceptor : a study of mechanical and ionic factors in the crayfish stretch receptors
Abstract : The stretch receptor organ of the crayfish, an analog to the human muscle spindle, is a unique preparation for the study of mechanotransduction. The organ consists of a rapidly and a slowly adapting receptor each composed of a receptor muscle fibre into which inserts the dendrites of a multipolar sensory neuron. READ MORE

5. On modelling and simulation of the human cardiovascular system : with special reference to aortic coarctation and mitral regurgitation
Abstract : In this thesis the method of identification has been proposed for interpreting data obatined from pressure measurement on patients with aortic coarctation. In order to investigate its charcteristics and applicability the algortithm for identification was initially tested using a simple model of the human cardiovascular system. READ MORE
