  2. 1. The role of Landau-Darrieus instability in flame dynamics and deflagration-to-detonation transition

    Author : Damir Valiev; Börje Johansson; Vladimir Karlin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flame; premixed; instability; front; Landau; Darrieus; fractal; freely; deflagration; detonation; transition; DDT; modeling; simulation; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The role of intrinsic hydrodynamic instability of the premixed flame (known as Landau-Darrieus instability) in various flame phenomena is studied by means of direct numerical simulations of the complete system of hydrodynamic equations. Rigorous study of flame dynamics and effect of Landau-Darrieus instability is essential for all premixed combustion problems where multidimensional effects cannot be disregarded. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fronts and instabilities in laser ablation, organic semiconductors and quantum media

    Author : Mikhail Modestov; Vitaly Bychkov; Mattias Marklund; Tito Mendonca; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; front; instability; deflagration; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The concept of a front plays a decisive role in various elds in physics and beyond. In the present thesis we study key aspects of front dynamics and stability in the context of laser plasmas, organic semiconductors and quantum media. READ MORE

  5. 3. Experimental Vertical Axis Wind Turbine System

    Author : Jon Kjellin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Vertical axis wind turbines may have mechanical advantages compared to conventional horizontal axis wind turbines, which make vertical turbines interesting to study. A 12 kW straight-bladed Darrieus turbine has been designed and constructed by the Division of Electricity at Uppsala University. READ MORE
