36. Simulations of compressible flows associatedwith internal combustion engines
Abstract : Vehicles with internal combustion (IC) engines fueled by hydrocarbon compoundshave been used for more than 100 years for ground transportation.During these years and in particular the last decade, the environmental aspectsof IC engines have become a major political and research topic.

37. Active Control and Reduced-Order Modeling of Transition in Shear Flows
Abstract : In this thesis direct numerical simulation is used to investigate the possibilityto delay the transition from laminar to turbulent in boundary layer flows.Furthermore, modal analysis is used to reveal the coherent structures in highdimensional dynamical systems arising in the flow problems.

38. A pressure coupled Representative Interactive Linear Eddy Model (RILEM) for heavy-duty truck engine combustion simulations
Abstract : Internal combustion engines (ICE) are frequently debated due to their environmental consequences. Although the switch to electromobility is currently happening for light and medium-duty vessels, the transition for ships and heavy-duty trucks is more complex. The primary problem in the shift is the incapability of matching the range of ICE. READ MORE

39. Particulate Formation in GDI Engines
Abstract : The need to comply with stringent emission regulations while improving fuel economy and reducing criteria pollutant emissions from transportation presents a major challenge in the design of gasoline Direct Injection (DI) engines because of the adverse effects of ultrafine Particulate Number (PN) emissions on human health and other environmental concerns. With upcoming advances in vehicle electrification, it may be the case that electric vehicles completely replace all current vehicles powered by internal combustion engines ensuring zero emissions.

40. Turbulence modulation effects caused by small droplets using one-dimensional-turbulence
Abstract : This thesis presents a stochastic model to study turbulence modulation effects on gas phases caused by small droplets or more generally speaking particles to achieve a better understanding about the physics and with the aim to provide data for a subgrid-scale (SGS) model for Large-eddy-simulations. The one-dimensional-turbulence (ODT) model addresses one of the major issues for multiphase flow simulations, namely computational costs. READ MORE
