1. Some Mathematical Aspects of Thermo and Fluid Dynamics
Abstract : This thesis contains mathematical treatments of three issues in thermo and fluid dynamics: swirling jets and vortex breakdown, Taylor's hypothesis and conjugate heat transfer. The work on swirling jets is focused on the study of the well-posedness of the conically self-similar free-vortex solutions to the Navier--Stokes equations. READ MORE

2. Characterisation of Urban Rainfall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Abstract : Rainfall characteristics of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are studied in space and time; on a large scale, 550 km2, and long term scale to find out the monsoon influence, and on urban basin scale, 23 km2, to determine dynamic properties of rainfalls and spatial correlations, and on a point scale to determine the probabilities of very high rain intensities. The importance of spatial and temporal variability of rainfall was investigated applying cross correlation on long term historical rainfalls from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. READ MORE

3. On Turbulent Wall Jets
Abstract : An experimental investigation of the two- and three-dimensional turbulent wall jets has been conducted. The measurements have been performed using different hot-wire techniques in large scale wall jet facilities, and the measurements were focused on the fully-developed region of the flow. READ MORE

4. Computational Characterization of Mixing in Flows
Abstract : The major theme of this thesis is mathematical aspects of fluid mixing in the case when diffusion is negligible, which is commonly refered to as ’mixing by stirring’ or ’mixing by chaotic advection’ in the engineering literature. In this case the mixing is driven by a velocity field and is characterized by the flow generated by the velocity field. READ MORE

5. Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas : A satellite altimetry perspective on ocean circulation
Abstract : The Atlantic Water in the Nordic Seas contributes to the mild climate of Northern Europe and is the main oceanic source of heat for the Arctic. The northward bound transport of the warm and saline Atlantic Water is mediated by a topographically constrained cyclonic boundary current along the Norwegian continental slope. READ MORE
