  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Numerical investigation of the turbulent flow and heat transfer around a heated cube cooled by and impinging jet in a cross-flow

    Author : Daniel Rundström; Bahram Moshfegh; Sasa Kenjers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Impinging jets are used for many industrial applications where high heat and mass transfer rates are required. The electronic industry is one of the fastest growing industries and applications of cooling technology in this field are of considerable importance. Forced channel flow is frequently used as a cooling technique. READ MORE

  5. 3. Propagation of some coherent and partially coherent laser beams

    Author : Yangjian Cai; Sailing He; Franco Gori; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; : dark hollow beam; elliptical Gaussian beam; flat-topped beam; twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model; partial coherent; propagation; paraxial optical system; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate the propagation of some coherent and partially coherent laser beams, including a dark hollow beam (DHB), an elliptical Gaussian beam (EGB), a flat-topped beam and a twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model (TAGSM) beam, through a paraxial optical system or a turbulent atmosphere. Several theoretical models are proposed to describe a DHB of circular or non-circular symmetry. READ MORE

  6. 4. Noise radiation from drill steels : and other experimental investigations in acoustics and fluid mechanics

    Author : Jan-Erik Ögren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Drill rod noise has become a major noise source in percussive drilling. Generation of flexural waves, which seem to be responsible for most of the noise, is studied in a model with dynamic photoelasticity and in the real drill rod with strain gauge technique. READ MORE

  7. 5. Origin of solar surface activity and sunspots

    Author : SARAH JABBARI; AXEL BRANDENBURG; Vasilis Archontis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sun-Solar activity-Sunspots; teoretisk astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics;

    Abstract : In the last few years, there has been significant progress in the development of a new model for explaining magnetic flux concentrations, by invoking the negative effective magnetic pressure instability (NEMPI) in a highly stratified turbulent plasma. According to this model, the suppression of the turbulent pressure by a large-scale magnetic field leads to a negative contribution of turbulence to the effective magnetic pressure (the sum of non-turbulent and turbulent contributions).
