1. 6. Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging SLIPI Applications for Spray Diagnostics

   Författare :Elias Kristensson; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; signal attenuation; Multiple light scattering suppression; laser extinction; extinction coefficient; structured illumination; Fysicumarkivet A:2012:Kristensson;

   Sammanfattning : Laser sheet imaging, also known as planar laser imaging, is one of the most versatile optical imaging techniques known and is frequently applied in several different domains. It furthermore constitutes the basis for a variety of other 2D methods, in turn allowing visualization of e.g. velocity, particle size, species concentration and temperature. LÄS MER

3. 7. Boundary layer streaks as a novel laminar flow control method

   Författare :Sohrab Sattarzadeh Shirvan; Jens H. M. Fransson; Edward B. White; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; boundary layer stability; laminar to turbulent transition; laminar flow control; drag reduction; Tollmien-Schlichting waves; oblique waves; streaky boundary layers; miniature vortex generators; discrete suction;

   Sammanfattning : A novel laminar flow control based on generation of spanwise mean velocity gradients (SVG) in a flat plate boundary layer is investigated where disturbances of different types are introduced in the wall-bounded shear layer. The experimental investigations are aimed at; (i) generating stable and steady streamwise streaks in the boundary layer which set up spanwise gradients in the mean flow, and (ii) attenuating disturbance energy growth in the streaky boundary layers and hence delaying the onset of turbulence transition.

4. 8. Prediction of Wing Section Lift and Drag from Numerical Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations

   Författare :Björn Regnström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; airfoil; incompresible flow; computational fluid dynamics; transition; numerical analysis; boundary layer stability;

   Sammanfattning : A Navier-Stokes finite difference method is developed and applied to two-dimensional, incompressible, viscous flow around wing sections at medium to high Reynolds numbers. An important feature of such flows is laminar boundary layers with spatially amplified Tollmien-Schlichting waves initiating transition to turbulence. LÄS MER

5. 9. District Heating Substations. Performance, Operation and Design

   Författare :Janusz Wollerstrand; Energihushållning; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extreme value; heater; sizing; domestic hot water; drag reducing additives; microbial fouling; heat exchanger fouling; simulation; design; performance; District heating; substation; Energy research; Energiforskning;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis work is concerned with the efficient layout and operation of substations, i.e. those district heating (DH) system units which connect the network and internal building heating systems, such as radiator heating systems and domestic hot water distribution networks.

7. 10. In the wake of a bird - Quantifying aerodynamic performance of avian flight

   Författare :Marco Klein Heerenbrink; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; animal flight; flight performance; gliding; powered flight; wing morphology; aerodynamics; biomechanics; birds; jackdaw; Corvus monedula; wind tunnel; PIV;

   Sammanfattning : Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. LÄS MER
