2. 6. Laser Based Flow Measurements to Evaluate Hydraulic Conditions for Migrating Fish and Benthic Fauna

   Author : S M Sayeed Bin Asad; Staffan Lundström; J. Gunnar I. Hellström; Anders G. Andersson; Berhanu Mulu Geberkiden; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fish Migration; Step Cylinder; Shedding; Vortex Street; Shear stress; PIV; benthic fauna; river; stones; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Hydropower is one of the main sources for Sweden’s energy, which is clean and renewable. It is a clean energy source because no fuels are burned which does not pollute the air and it is a renewable energy source as it only uses natural water cycle for generating energy. READ MORE

4. 7. Variable Valve Actuation in a Spark Ignition Engine - A Flow Field and Heat Release Study

   Author : Fredrik Söderberg; Förbränningsmotorer; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; framdrivningssystem; Gases; plasma; fluid dynamics; plasmas; Gaser; fluiddynamik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; hydraulik; Maskinteknik; vibration and acoustic engineering; Laser Doppler Velocimetry Particle Image Velocimetry PIV LDV Wavelet Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD Variable Valve Actuation Timing Turbulence Combustion Engine Spark Ignition Miller; hydraulics; vacuum technology; Mechanical engineering;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis was to find ways of improving part-load efficiency for a spark ignition engine by studying the effects of variable-valve actuation on fluid flow and combustion. The in-cylinder flow was measured with laser doppler velocimetry, LDV, and particle image velocimetry, PIV. READ MORE

5. 8. Improving the mobility performance of tracked vehicles in deep snow

   Author : Anders Bodin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

   Abstract : Improving the mobility of tracked vehicles in deep snow requires an increase in the knowledge and understanding of the design parameters which influence the tractive performance. This relates particularly to the new vehicle requirements of increased payload to vehicle weight ratio, improved fuel economy and reduced life cycle costs. READ MORE

6. 9. Nature-inspired passive flow control using various coatings and appendages

   Author : Ugis Lacis; Shervin Bagheri; Christophe Eloy; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flow control; passive appendage; surface coating; pressure drag; friction drag; Flödeskontroll; passiva bihang; ytbeläggning; tryckmotstånd; friktionsmotstånd;

   Abstract : There is a wide variety of tails, fins, scales, riblets and surface coatings, which are used by motile animals in nature. Since organisms currently living on earth have gone through millions of years of evolution, one can expect that their design is optimal for their tasks, including locomotion. READ MORE

7. 10. Models of porous, elastic and rigid materials in moving fluids

   Author : Ugis Lacis; Shervin Bagheri; Fredrik Lundell; Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid-structure-interaction; flow control; passive appendages; homogenization; poroelastic coatings; separated flows; surface-fluid interface; fluid-struktur-interaktion; flödeskontroll; passiva utväxter; homogenisering; ytbeläggning; separerade strömning; ytbeläggning-strömning gränssnitt; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Tails, fins, scales, and surface coatings are used by organisms for various tasks, including locomotion. Since millions of years of evolution have passed, we expect that the design of surface structures is optimal for the tasks of the organism. These structures serve as an inspiration in this thesis to identify new mechanisms for flow control. READ MORE
