1. On Steady Water Waves and Their Properties
Abstract : Abstract: This thesis consists of four papers related to various aspects of steady water waves. Paper I: Deep-water waves with vorticity: symmetry and rotational behaviour. We show that for steady, periodic, and rotational gravity deep-water waves, a monotone surface profile between troughs and crests implies symmetry. READ MORE

2. Studies of sound generation and propagation in flow ducts
Abstract : This thesis contains three papers investigating problems of interest for noise control in ducts. The first part of this thesis treats the sound propagation in rectangular ducts with flexible walls. Various experimental techniques are performed to measure the internal sound propagation and radiation to the surrounding. READ MORE

3. Small-amplitude steady water waves with vorticity
Abstract : The problem of describing two-dimensional traveling water waves is considered. The water region is of finite depth and the interface between the region and the air is given by the graph of a function. We assume the flow to be incompressible and neglect the effects of surface tension. READ MORE

4. On stability of vortices and vorticity generated by actuator lines
Abstract : Vortices are present in nature and in many flows of industrial importance. The stability of configurations of vortices can have real-world consequences, because vortices play a crucial role in accelerated mixing. In particular, vortices are present in the wake of wind turbines and other rotors. READ MORE

5. Spectral-element simulations of turbulent wall-bounded flows including transition and separation
Abstract : The spectral-element method (SEM) is used to study wall-bounded turbulent flowsin moderately complex geometries. The first part of the thesis is devoted to simulations of canonical flow cases, such as temporal K-type transitionand turbulent channel flow, to investigate general resolution requirements and computational efficiency of the numerical code nek5000.
