1. Study of adverse-pressure-gradient effects on a flat-plate boundary layer at high Reynolds numbers
Sammanfattning : Turbulent boundary layers are present in many aspects of life, from the weather and wind currents to transportation, production of energy or mixing processes. Understanding turbulent motions can allow for an improvement and development of technical devices, techniques or diagnosis of phenomena where a fluid flow is in the turbulent regime. LÄS MER
2. Studies on adverse-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers on wings
Sammanfattning : The present licentiate thesis addresses the use of well-resolved simulations to simulate turbulent boundary layers (TBL) subjected to adverse pressure gradients. Within the thesis a wide variety of analyses are performed, and a method to improve the performance of the simulations is presented. LÄS MER
3. Simulations of turbulent boundary layers with suction and pressure gradients
Sammanfattning : The focus of the present licentiate thesis is on the effect of suction and pressure gradients on turbulent boundary-layer flows, which are investigated separately through performing numerical simulations.The first part aims at assessing history and development effects on adverse pressure-gradient (APG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL).

4. Wings, turbulent boundary layers and flow separation
Sammanfattning : The present doctoral thesis investigates the turbulent flow developing around wing sections, focusing on the impact of adverse-pressure-gradient (APG) conditions on turbulent boundary layers (TBLs) and the physics of flow separation. Both experimental and numerical methods are employed to generate high-fidelity data sets and provide an in-depth analysis of the flow. LÄS MER
5. Turbulent Boundary Layer Separation and Control
Sammanfattning : Boundary layer separation is an unwanted phenomenon in most technical applications, as for instance on airplane wings, ground vehicles and in internal flow systems. If separation occurs, it causes loss of lift, higher drag and energy losses. It is thus essential to develop methods to eliminate or delay separation. LÄS MER
