6. Numerical Simulations of Plasmonic Nanostructures
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the study of metallic nanostructures that support plasmons. Special emphasis is devoted to two specific numerical methods that allow us to predict plasmon characteristics: the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) and the Green's tensor (GT) method. READ MORE

7. Unsteady Numerical Simulations and Reduced-Order Modelling of Flows around Vehicles
Abstract : In this thesis several simulations have been carried out aimed at improving the knowledge of vehicle aerodynamics and improving the flow around vehicles with respect to theaerodynamic drag. Five flows around different simplified vehicle models have been considered in five appended publications. READ MORE

8. Engine Encapsulation for Increased Fuel Efficiency of Road Vehicles
Abstract : Thermal engine encapsulation is an increasingly popular design choice, which insulates the engine from the external environment and retains heat in the engine after it is turned off. This decelerates motor cool-down and increases the probability for high initial temperature at a subsequent engine start, resulting in shorter warm-up and reduced friction between engine parts.

9. Stability of the free-surface problem arising in ice-sheet- and glacier modeling : Numerical investigation and stabilization
Abstract : This thesis consists of two papers dealing with a stabilization method for free-surface flows. The method was initially developed to stabilize mantle-convection simulations, but is in this work extended to ice-sheet- and glacier modeling. READ MORE

10. On dental ceramics and their fracture : a laboratory and numerical study
Abstract : Background Surface treatments and irregularities in the surfaces may affect the fracture of ceramics. The effects of various treatments on the surface texture of different types of ceramic cores/substructures was therefore qualitatively, quantitatively and numerically evaluated. READ MORE
