  2. 1. Impact of Metallic Projectiles on a Ceramic Target Surface : Transition Between Interface Defeat and Penetration

    Author : René Renström; Bengt Lundberg; Patrik Lundberg; Nils-Gunnar Ohlson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; Projectile; Cylindrical; Conical; Yield strength; Compressibility; Perfect flow; Self-similar flow; Interface defeat; Dwell; Teknisk fysik; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot hållfasthetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of the load on flat target surfaces produced by projectile impact. Models are proposed from which upper and lower bounds can be derived for the transition be-tween interface defeat and normal penetration. READ MORE

  4. 2. Turbulent Boundary Layer Separation and Control

    Author : Ola Lögdberg; P. Henrik Alfredsson; Jens Fransson; Guido Buresti; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flow control; adverse pressure gradient APG ; flow separation; vortex generators; jet vortex generators; pulsed jet vortex generators; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Boundary layer separation is an unwanted phenomenon in most technical applications, as for instance on airplane wings, ground vehicles and in internal flow systems. If separation occurs, it causes loss of lift, higher drag and energy losses. It is thus essential to develop methods to eliminate or delay separation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Turbulent Shear Flow Experiments: Design of Natural Convection Rig and LDA Measurement in Swirling Jets

    Author : Abolfazl Shiri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Self-Similar Solution; Natural Convection Boundary Layer; Axisymmetric Jet; Laser Doppler Anemometry; Swirl Number;

    Abstract : This work consist of two sections. In the first part, a facility has been installed and modified from an existing rig in order to measure velocity and temperature field of axisymmetric turbulent natural convection boundary layers. With using laser doppler anemometry and cold wire resistance thermometry. READ MORE

  6. 4. An Experimental Study of Fluid Dynamics and Mixing in Bubbly Gas-Liquid Flow Systems

    Author : Jafar Sadegh Moghaddas; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bubbly flow; PLIF; Two-phase flow; PIV; Gases; plasmas; Gaser; fluid dynamics; fluiddynamik; plasma; Mixing;

    Abstract : In the present project, a new experimental method enabling Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) measurements in bubbly gas-liquid flows is presented. Due to reflection and refraction of the laser light, the bubbles will cause an uneven and unknown distribution of light intensity in the measurement plane. READ MORE

  7. 5. Some non-linear geometric and kinetic evolutions and their approximations

    Author : Richards Grzhibovskis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; curvature flow; Willmore flow; convolution-thresholding; homothetic geometric flows; Boltzmann equation; deterministic methods; non-uniform grids; curvature flow;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with three non-linear evolution problems: mean curvature flow, Willmore flow, and the evolution of solutions to the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation. Generalized mean curvature flows are also considered. A major part of the study focuses on the construction of approximations to these evolutions. READ MORE
