6. Some Mathematical Aspects of Thermo and Fluid Dynamics
Abstract : This thesis contains mathematical treatments of three issues in thermo and fluid dynamics: swirling jets and vortex breakdown, Taylor's hypothesis and conjugate heat transfer. The work on swirling jets is focused on the study of the well-posedness of the conically self-similar free-vortex solutions to the Navier--Stokes equations. READ MORE

7. Turbulence-resolving Simulations of Swirling Flows
Abstract : A series of numerical investigations is undertaken using a wide range of turbulence mod-els including conventional and non-conventional URANS models, hybrid URANS-LESmethods and LES to capture a large variety of physical mechanisms that produce pres-sure pulsations in the swirling flows. The available knowledge about these pulsations,which are usual in hydropower, are still far from complete. READ MORE

8. Analytical and Numerical Investigations of Steady and Unsteady Turbulent Swirling Flow in Diffusers
Abstract : Swirling flows are found in many technical applications, e.g. turbines, pumps, fans, compressors and combustors. The objective of the present work is to acquire an understanding of the physics of swirling flow in general and unsteady swirling flow in draft tubes of water turbines in particular. READ MORE

10. Multicomponent superconductivity : Vortex matter and phase transitions
Abstract : The topic of this thesis is vortex-physics in multi component Ginzburg- Landau models. These models describe a newly discovered class of super- conductors with multiple superconducting gaps, and possess many properties that set them apart from single component models. READ MORE
