  2. 1. Numerical Model of Beach Topography Evolution due to Waves and Currents: Special Emphasis on Coastal Structures

    Author : Thanh Nam Pham; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; morphodynamics; surface roller; wave-induced currents; random waves; sediment transport; coastal structures;

    Abstract : The beach topography change in the nearshore zone may be induced by natural phenomena such as wind, wave, storm, tsunami, and sea level rise. However, it can also be caused by man-made structures and activities, for example, groins, detached breakwaters, seawalls, dredging, and beach nourishment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Crossings and maxima in Gaussian fields and seas

    Author : Eva Sjö; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; operations research; Statistics; random waves; extremes; generalised Rice s formula; level-crossings; Gaussian random fields; programming; actuarial mathematics; Statistik; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik;

    Abstract : In this thesis the focus is on crossing points in random fields and the probability distributions of various crossing variables in different applications. The crossing points are generalisations to random fields of points of level crossings by stochastic processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Scattering of seismic waves in random velocity models : Finite difference simulation

    Author : Lena Frenje; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : The small-scale heterogeneities within the Earth's crust and the effect these heterogeneities have on seismic waves have gained increasing interest in the last 15 years. One approach to study seismic wave scattering is through numerical simulations in random media. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prediction of random vibration using spectral methods

    Author : Fredrik Birgersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Spectral finite element method; distributed excitation; turbulent boundary layer measurements; random vibration; spectral super element method; wave expansion difference scheme; fluid-structure interaction;

    Abstract : Much of the vibration in fast moving vehicles is caused bydistributed random excitation, such as turbulent flow and roadroughness. Piping systems transporting fast flowing fluid isanother example, where distributed random excitation will causeunwanted vibration. READ MORE

  7. 5. Numerical studies of transtion in wall-bounded flows

    Author : Ori Levin; Dan Henningson; Nikolaus Adams; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; boundary layer; suction; wall jet; streaks; waves; periodic disturbance; localized disturbance; turbulent spot; algebraic growth; exponential growth; stability; transition thresholds; transition prediction; PSE; DNS; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Disturbances introduced in wall-bounded flows can grow and lead to transition from laminar to turbulent flow. In order to reduce losses or enhance mixing in energy systems, a fundamental understanding of the flow stability and transition mechanism is important. READ MORE
