1. On Steady Water Waves and Their Properties
Sammanfattning : Abstract: This thesis consists of four papers related to various aspects of steady water waves. Paper I: Deep-water waves with vorticity: symmetry and rotational behaviour. We show that for steady, periodic, and rotational gravity deep-water waves, a monotone surface profile between troughs and crests implies symmetry. LÄS MER
2. Studies of sound generation and propagation in flow ducts
Sammanfattning : This thesis contains three papers investigating problems of interest for noise control in ducts. The first part of this thesis treats the sound propagation in rectangular ducts with flexible walls. Various experimental techniques are performed to measure the internal sound propagation and radiation to the surrounding. LÄS MER
3. Small-amplitude steady water waves with vorticity
Sammanfattning : The problem of describing two-dimensional traveling water waves is considered. The water region is of finite depth and the interface between the region and the air is given by the graph of a function. We assume the flow to be incompressible and neglect the effects of surface tension. LÄS MER
4. On stability of vortices and vorticity generated by actuator lines
Sammanfattning : Vortices are present in nature and in many flows of industrial importance. The stability of configurations of vortices can have real-world consequences, because vortices play a crucial role in accelerated mixing. In particular, vortices are present in the wake of wind turbines and other rotors. LÄS MER
5. Spectral-element simulations of turbulent wall-bounded flows including transition and separation
Sammanfattning : The spectral-element method (SEM) is used to study wall-bounded turbulent flowsin moderately complex geometries. The first part of the thesis is devoted to simulations of canonical flow cases, such as temporal K-type transitionand turbulent channel flow, to investigate general resolution requirements and computational efficiency of the numerical code nek5000.
