1. Wings, turbulent boundary layers and flow separation
Abstract : The present doctoral thesis investigates the turbulent flow developing around wing sections, focusing on the impact of adverse-pressure-gradient (APG) conditions on turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) and the physics of flow separation. Both experimental and numerical methods are employed to generate high-fidelity data sets and provide an in-depth analysis of the flow. READ MORE

2. Stability and transition in pitching wings
Abstract : The aeroelastic stability of airplanes is one of the most important aspects of airplane design. Flutter or divergence instabilities arising out of the interaction of fluid forces and structural elasticity must be avoided by design or through the limitation of the flight envelope. READ MORE

3. Studies on adverse-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers on wings
Abstract : The present licentiate thesis addresses the use of well-resolved simulations to simulate turbulent boundary layers (TBL) subjected to adverse pressure gradients. Within the thesis a wide variety of analyses are performed, and a method to improve the performance of the simulations is presented. READ MORE

4. Aeroelastic Concepts for Flexible Wing Structures
Abstract : This thesis summarizes investigations performed within design, analysis and experimental evaluation of flexible aircraft structures. Not only the problems, but rather the opportunities related to aeroelasticity are discussed. READ MORE

5. Optimal Design of Natural and Hybrid Laminar Flow Control on Wings
Abstract : Methods for optimal design of different means of control aredeveloped in this thesis. The main purpose is to maintain thelaminar flow on wings at a chord Reynolds number beyond what isusually transitional or turbulent. READ MORE
