  1. 1. Critical hydraulic gradients in tailings dams : comparison to natural analogies

    Författare :Isabel Jantzer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing demand of metals and minerals has made it economical for the mining industry to mine low-grade deposits, which results in immense quantities of by-products. In fact, such by-products, i.e. tailings, are the largest waste volumes produced on earth. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The multifaceted role of imagination in science and religion : A critical examination of its epistemic, creative and meaning-making functions

    Författare :Ingrid Malm Lindberg; Mikael Stenmark; Ulf Zackariasson; Yiftach Fehige; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Imagination; science and religion; creativity; models; metaphors; analogies; thought experiments; aspect perception; rituals; doxasticism; non-doxasticism; fictionalism; interactivism; Philosophy of Religion; Religionsfilosofi;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this dissertation is to examine critically and discuss the role of imagination in science and religion, with particular emphasis on its possible epistemic, creative, and meaning-making functions. In order to answer my research questions, I apply theories and concepts from contemporary philosophy of mind on scientific and religious practices. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computational Aeroacoustics Based on Large Eddy Simulation and Acoustic Analogies

    Författare :Mihai Mihaescu; Laszlo Fuchs; Strömningsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechanical engineering; hydraulics; plasma; Technological sciences; Teknik; fluiddynamik; plasmas; Gaser; fluid dynamics; Gases; Inhomogeneous Wave Equation; Acoustic Boundary Conditions; Acoustic Source Terms; LES; Computational Aeroacoustics; Turbulent Flows; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Computational Aeroacoustics;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis presents a numerical method developed by the author and its applications for computing the generated sound by an unsteady flow field and its propagation. The full equations of motion for compressible and unsteady flows describe both flow field and sound generation and propagation. LÄS MER
