1. Foam-formed Fiber Networks: Manufacturing, Characterization, and Numerical Modeling : With a Note on the Orientation Behavior of Rod-like Particles in Newtonian Fluids
Sammanfattning : Fiber networks are ubiquitous and are seen in both industrial materials (paper and nonwovens) and biological materials (plant cells and animal tissues). Nature intricately manipulates these network structures by varying their density, aggregation, and fiber orientation to create a variety of functionalities. LÄS MER
2. Mixing and Evaporation at the Cloud Edge and Angular Dynamics of Small Crystals in Viscous Flow
Sammanfattning : How liquid water in atmospheric clouds distributes over droplets of different sizes is important for the initiation of rainfall, and for the optical properties of the atmosphere. Droplet-number densities and droplet-size distributions change rapidly at turbulent cloud edges, where mixing of cloudy and dry air causes cloud dilution and droplet evaporation. LÄS MER
3. Angular dynamics of small particles in fluids
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the angular motion of small particles suspended in fluid flows. A small particle experiences a hydrodynamic torque due to the local fluid velocity, and this torque leads to rotational motion. When inertial effects are negligible the torque on an ellipsoidal particle is given by Jeffery's theory [Jeffery, G. B. LÄS MER
4. Modelling transport of non-spherical particles in laminar flow
Sammanfattning : A model has been developed that can be used to predict the transport of non-spherical particles in the nano- and micro scale range for different applications. This may be the flow in the lungs or flow taking place during composites manufacturing, but the model can be applied to many applications where the particle Stokes and Reynolds numbers are small.

5. Orientation of fibres in suspensions flowing over a solid surface
Sammanfattning : The orientation of fibres suspended in a viscous fluid, flowing over a solid surface, has been studied experimentally. A shear layer was generated, by letting the suspension flow down an inclined plate. LÄS MER
