  2. 1. An Experimental Study of Reynolds Stress Closures in Shear Free and Weakly Sheared Turbulence

    Author : Dag Aronson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; turbulence modelling; dissipation measurements; Reynolds stress closures; isotropic turbulence; anisotropic dissipation rate tensor; hot-wire anemometry; wall proximity effects; pressure strain rate correlations;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis work is to obtain data enabling evaluation of closure hypotheses used in the Reynolds stress transport (RST) equations. Special attention has been devoted to studies of flow fields with shear free and weakly sheared turbulence. READ MORE

  4. 2. Resonances, dissipation and decoherence in exotic and artificial atoms

    Author : Mikhail Genkin; Eva Lindroth; Lars Bojer Madsen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : quantum dissipation; quantum decoherence; open quantum systems; resonances; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : There are several reasons why exotic and artificial atoms attract the interest of different scientific communities.In exotic atoms, matter and antimatter can coexist for surprisingly long times. Thus, they present a unique natural laboratory for high precision antimatter studies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interfacial Properties of Biomacromolecular Model Systems: Surface Forces and Nanotribology

    Author : Niklas Nordgren; Mark Rutland; Harry Brumer III; Robert Pelton; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; afm; surface force; friction; composite material; model surface; quartz crystal microbalance; dissipation; cellulose; xyloglucan; chitosan; colloidal probe; nanotribology; biomimetic; enzymatic; polysaccharide; graft; fiber; thiol; spring constant; calibration; lubrication; polyion; responsive.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : The nanotribology, adhesion and related interfacial properties of biomacromolecular systems have been studied.  The aim was to elucidate the role of physisorbed and chemically grafted bio-polymers implicated as mediators for cellulose based processing and material design. READ MORE

  6. 4. Power dissipation in car tyres

    Author : Martin Fraggstedt; Svante Finnveden; Michael Brennan; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract : Traffic is a major source of green house gases. The transport field stands for 32 % of the energy consumption and 28 % of the total CO2 emissions, where road transports alone causes 84 % of these figures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Kinetic Measurements Using Nanoplasmonic Sensing

    Author : Markus Schwind; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sn Nanoparticles; Sensing; Localized Surface Plasmon Resonances; Particle Plasmon; Metal Oxidation; Metal Corrosion; Solid-Liquid Phase Transition; Kinetics; Al Nanoparticles;

    Abstract : In this thesis the nanoplasmonic sensing technique was used to study kinetics of (i) the oxidation of Al nanoparticles in air and water and (ii) the solid-liquid phase transition in Sn nanoparticles. The nanoplasmonic sensing technique detects changes of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in metal nanoparticles. READ MORE
