1. Utilization of Decomposition Techniques for Analyzing and Characterizing Flows
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the utilization of two different decomposition techniques, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), for enhanced understanding of flow structures and their stability. The advantages of these techniques are shown for a range of flow situations, most of which are turbulent. LÄS MER
2. On Gas Turbine Diagnostics with Emphasis on Combustion Chambers
Sammanfattning : The thesis aims to analyse the gas turbine based energy conversion systems with the emphasis on combustion chambers. The investigation is mainly experimental at a component level. The majority of investigations concentrate on gaseous fuel firing. LÄS MER
3. Vortices in turbulent curved pipe flow-rocking, rolling and pulsating motions
Sammanfattning : This thesis is motivated by the necessity to understand the flow structure of turbulent flows in bends encountered in many technical applications such as heat exchangers, nuclear reactors and internal combustion engines. Flows in bends are characterised by strong secondary motions in terms of counter-rotating vortices (Dean cells) set up by a centrifugal instability. LÄS MER
4. Shapes of pipes
Sammanfattning : Curved pipes are ubiquitous in several industrial applications and biological systems. The study of flows through these configurations is therefore of significant practical interest.In the present thesis, the modal stability of flows in both toroidal and spatially developing bent pipes is investigated to understand the onset of transition.

5. Space-adaptive simulation of transition and turbulence in shear flows
Sammanfattning : Transitional and turbulent shear flows are ubiquitous, from the boundary layer developing on an aeroplane wing to the flow within the aortic arch. In this thesis, we study wall-bounded and free shear flows through direct numerical simulations. LÄS MER
