  2. 1. Visual Flow Display for Pilot Spatial Orientation

    Author : Lars Eriksson; Claes von Hofsten; David Lee; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Optic flow; visual flow; peripheral vision; spatial orientation; spatial disorientation; postural control; somatogravic illusion; human centrifuge; flight displays; head-up display; head-mounted display; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Pilot spatial disorientation (SD) is a significant cause of incidents and fatal accidents in aviation. The pilot is susceptible to SD especially in low visibility when the visual system is deprived of information from outside the cockpit. READ MORE

  4. 2. Near wall fibre orientation in flowing suspensions

    Author : Allan Carlsson; Daniel Söderberg; Fredrik Lundell; Helge I. Andersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid mechanics; fibre orientation; shear flow; wall effect; fibre suspension; papermaking; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with fibre orientation in wall-bounded shear flows. The primary application in mind is papermaking. The study is mainly experimental,but is complemented with theoretical considerations.The main part of the thesis concerns the orientation of slowly settlingfibres in a wall-bounded viscous shear flow.

  5. 3. Orientation of elongated, macro and nano-sized particles in macroscopic flows

    Author : Karl Håkansson; Danel Söderberg; Fredrik Lundell; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Jean-Yves Cavaillé; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Orientation; fibre; fibril; turbulent channel flow; particle streaks; flow focusing; cellulose nanofibrils; extensional flow; Smoluchowski; rotary diffusion;

    Abstract : Non-spherical particles are present all around us, in biological, industrial and environmental processes. Making predictions of their impact on us and systems in our vicinity can make life better for everyone here on earth. READ MORE

  6. 4. Non-Spherical Particle Interaction in Duct and Jet Flow

    Author : Ammar Hazim; Matthias Mandø; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid-gas flow; turbulence modulation; duct flow; coaxial jets flow; swirl jet flow; active flow control; synthetics jet; biomass powder; non-spherical particles; PIV measurement; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Wood waste is the most popular biomass recourse for many nations. Burned wood can, direct or indirect, release one of the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide. The process can still be seen as a renewable source of energy since replanting of the trees and crops are consuming nearly the same amount of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Experimental and numerical investigations of hydrodynamic focusing of colloidal dispersions

    Author : V. Krishne Gowda; Fredrik Lundell; Daniel Söderberg; Lynn Walker; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microfluidics; flow focusing; colloidal fiber dispersion; effective interfacial tension; microflow morphology; nanoparticle orientation; Mikrofluidik; flödesfokusering; kolloidala dispersioner; effektiv ytspänning; mikroflödesmorfologi; orientering av nanopartiklar; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Dispersed non-spherical particles are the fundamental constituent of many complex fluids. Such fluids are studied both for their industrial and scientific importance, and for their peculiar functional properties (mechanical, optical, thermal, fluidic). READ MORE
