1. A structural study into the boundary surface and associated curvature of three-dimensional mesoporous silica crystals
Sammanfattning : Since their first discovery in the early 1990s, mesoporous crystals (MCs) have fascinated researchers in various fields because of their interesting structures and their potential uses. Electron crystallography (EC) gives the direct three-dimensional (3D) realization of a crystal as a reconstructed electrostatic potential map (EPM). LÄS MER
2. On boundary value problems for intracellular subdiffusion and signaling pathways, and for geometric flows
Sammanfattning : The main part of this thesis concerns mathematical models for diffusion of proteins inside cells, including reactions between the proteins. Initially, such models are applied to describe signaling pathways in yeast cells, and the properties of the model are studied, especially in relation to models that do not include diffusion. LÄS MER
3. Receptivity of crossflow-dominated boundary layers
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with receptivity mechanisms of three-dimensional, crossflow-dominated boundary layers. The receptivity of two model problems, a swept-flat-plate and a swept-wing boundary layer, is investigated by solving the parabolised stability equations (PSE) as well as by performing direct numerical simulations (DNS).

4. Receptivity of Boundary-Layer Flows over Flat and Curved Walls
Sammanfattning : Direct numerical simulations of the receptivity and instability of boundary layers on flat and curved surfaces are herein reported. Various flow models are considered with the aim to capture aspects of flows over straight and swept wings such as wall curvature, pressure variations, leading-edge effects, streamline curvature and crossflow.

5. Nonlinear elliptic problems with boundary blow-up
Sammanfattning : A classical problem in differential geometry is the prescribed curvature problemin a bounded domain, where the task is to conformally deform the Euclidean metric to another complete Riemannian metric with a prescribed curvature function.If this function is negative, the problem is equivalent to solving a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with boundary blow-up.
