  2. 1. Steady waves in local and nonlocal models for water waves

    Author : Tien Truong; Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; The steady Euler equations; the Whitham equation; solitary waves; highest waves; periodic waves; transverse dynamics; The steady Euler equations; the Whitham equation; solitary waves; highest waves; periodic waves; transverse dynamics;

    Abstract : We study the steady Euler equations for inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational water waves of constant density. The thesis consists of three papers. The first paper approaches the Euler equations through a famous nonlocal model equation for gravity waves, namely the Whitham equation. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Abstract: This thesis consists of four papers related to various aspects of water waves with vorticity. Paper I: Symmetry of steady periodic gravity water waves with vorticity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interaction of flows with slender structures and liquid-infused surfaces

    Author : Johan Sundin; Shervin Bagheri; Daniel Chung; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flow-structure interactions; flow control; turbulent boundary layers; soft sensors; drag reduction; capillary waves; surfactants; Marangoni stress; mixing enhancement; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Surface textures and protrusions can be used to control or gain information about a flow. We investigate the solid-flow interaction of filamentous structures and liquid-infused surfaces (LIS). Both filamentous structures and LIS are used by organisms and can be exploited in technical applications. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the Fluid Mechanics of Partial Dewatering during Roll Forming in Paper Making

    Author : Richard Holm; KTH; []
    Keywords : Fluid mechanics; roll forming; partial dewatering; capillary waves;

    Abstract : The present work deals with some aspects of the fluidmechanics of paper-making,more specifically partial dewateringduring roll forming. The study is mainly experimental. Pressureand wire position measurements have been carried out in anexperimental facility, the KTH-Former,which models the rollforming zone of a paper machine. READ MORE

  7. 5. Laser-Driven Plasma Waves for Particle Acceleration and X-ray Production

    Author : Guillaume Genoud; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laser plasma acceleration of electrons and protons; laser-wakefield acceleration; plasma waves; plasma-wiggler radiation; betatron radiation; laser guiding; laser pointing stabilisation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents experimental results related to laser plasma accelerators. These rely on very different principles from conventional particle accelerators. READ MORE
