21. ON THE WAKE STRUCTURES OF FLOW AROUND DEFORMING AND VIBRATING BODIES
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the study of Fluid-Structure interaction phenomena among deforming and (non-deforming) vibrating objects under unsteady fluid fl ow exposures. This multi-physical phenomenon is widely encountered in real-life situations and therefore it is of significant importance to understand the underlying physics. LÄS MER
22. Numerical study of particle suspensions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Sammanfattning : Solid or deformable particles suspended in a viscous fluid are of scientific and technological interest in a broad range of applications. Pyroclastic flows from volcanoes, sedimentation flows in river bed, food industries, oil-well drilling, as well as blood flow in the human body and the motion of suspended micro-organisms in water (like plankton) are among the possible examples.

23. Numerical modeling of deforming bubble transport related to cavitating hydraulic turbines
Sammanfattning : Cavitation is a problem in many hydroelectric power plants since it can cause adverse effects on performance and damage to nearby solid surfaces. The concerns of this thesis are the numerical aspects of flow simulations in cavitating hydraulic turbines which contain several difficulties: turbulent and complex flows, steady and moving parts of the geometry, bubble transport and cavitation development.

24. Numerical study of interface dynamics and phase change
Sammanfattning : Multi-phase fluid flows are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and different industrial applications such as in food industry, the medical sector, heat exchangers, power generation systems, to name a few. Understanding the underlining physics of multi-phase flows proved to be a challenging task due to presence of sophisticated dynamics, including the evolution of the interface between any pair of phases, thermodynamics and possibility of phase change, interactions between the fluid phases and a solid phase, etc. LÄS MER
25. Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Flows of Physiological Relevance
Sammanfattning : Pulsatile flows in geometries of physiological relevance have been investigated. Atherosclerotic plaques are (initiated) near junctions and bifurcations in larger arteries. The flow in these regions is characterized by flow separation and unsteadiness, which indicates that local flow conditions contribute to atherogenesis. LÄS MER
