16. Parallel computing of fluid flow through porous media
Sammanfattning : Fluid flow through porous media takes place in a variety of technical areas including ground water flow, flow through embankment dams, paper making, composites manufacturing, filtering, drying and sintering of iron ore pellets. When modelling these kinds of flows it is common practice to use averaging techniques rather than computing the detailed flow field in every single pore. LÄS MER
17. Fluid flow through and deformation of wood fiber networks
Sammanfattning : Cellulose-based commercial items such as paper and laminated flooring are vital to the local economy of northern Sweden. These products are commonly manufactured in suspension where fluids such as water or air are drained through the fiber network in some value-added steps in the manufacturing process. LÄS MER
18. The influence of inertia on the rotational dynamics of spheroidal particles suspended in shear flow
Sammanfattning : Dispersed particle flows occur in many industrial, biological and geophysical applications. The knowledge of how these flow behave can for example lead to improved material processes, better predictions of vascular diseases or more accurate climate models. LÄS MER
19. Experimental studies of large particles in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Sammanfattning : In everyday human life, laminar flow is arguably an exception whereas turbulent flow is the norm. Yet, the former has been much better understood, naturally since laminar flow renders itself to treatment in a relatively easier fashion compared to turbulence with its chaotic dynamics across multiple scales in space and time.

20. Models of porous, elastic and rigid materials in moving fluids
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
