1. Rheology of Wheat Flour Doughs at Large Deformations and the Relation to Baking Quality and Physical Structure
Sammanfattning : The effects on dough rheology at large deformations in elongational flow and shear flow have been studied. The results are related to bread making quality in terms of bread volume and to the physical structure of the dough. A new method for evaluation of an instrumented mixograph is reported. LÄS MER
2. Extensional rheometry through hyperbolic contraction
Sammanfattning : To understand fluid rheology, properties such as consistency and viscosity are determined in both shear and extensional flow. Many commonly-used materials and formulations exhibit complex rheological properties and in order to determine the behaviour as well as predict and govern their properties, effective and reliable characterisation of these fluids is important.

3. Orientation of elongated, macro and nano-sized particles in macroscopic flows
Sammanfattning : Non-spherical particles are present all around us, in biological, industrial and environmental processes. Making predictions of their impact on us and systems in our vicinity can make life better for everyone here on earth. LÄS MER
4. Simulation of individual cells in flow
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, simulations are performed to study the motion ofindividual cells in flow, focusing on the hydrodynamics of actively swimming cells likethe self-propelling microorganisms, and of passively advected objects like the red bloodcells. In particular, we develop numerical tools to address the locomotion ofmicroswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries, as well as the motion ofdeformable capsules in micro-fluidic flows.

5. The metamorphic history of Naxos (central Cyclades, Greece) : Deciphering the Oligocene and Miocene exhumation events
Sammanfattning : High pressure, low temperature (HP-LT) rocks observed at the surface of the Earth are evidence ofpast subduction zones. Understanding the tectonics processes that control the exhumation of HP-LT metamorphic rocks in these subduction zones requires full comprehension of the pressure-temperature-time (P–T–t) cycle that the rocks experienced.
