  1. 21. Mooring dynamics for wave energy applications

    Författare :Johannes Palm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hp adaptivity; Wave energy; Coupled simulations; CFD; Discontinuous Galerkin methods; OpenFOAM; Mooring dynamics; Snap loads; RANS;

    Sammanfattning : This work aims to increase the modelling accuracy of two important problems for the wave energy industry. One concerns the mooring dynamics in the presence of snap loads (shock waves in cable tension). The other is related to nonlinear effects in the resonance region of moored wave energy converters (WECs). LÄS MER

  2. 22. Computational Methods for Calculation of Ligand-Receptor Binding Affinities Involving Protein and Nucleic Acid Complexes

    Författare :Martin Almlöf; Johan Åqvist; Chris Oostenbrink; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Theoretical chemistry; computer simulations; molecular dynamics; linear interaction energy; binding free energy; linear response; protein-protein interactions; structure-based design; point mutations; hot spots; solvation free energy; Teoretisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The ability to accurately predict binding free energies from computer simulations is an invaluable resource in understanding biochemical processes and drug action. Several methods based on microscopic molecular dynamics simulations exist, and in this thesis the validation, application, and development of the linear interaction energy (LIE) method is presented.

  4. 24. Non-Linear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Optical Beams and Pulses in Kerr and Ionizable Media

    Författare :Manuel López Quiroga Teixeiro; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; self-focussing; wave-breaking; optical Kerr effect; autowaves; fast adiabatic compression; non-linear modes conversion; non-linear optics; blue-shift; solitons; full wave numerical simulations; optical fibers; ionization non-linearities; pulse compressioni;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis includes results of several investigations concerning the propagation of optical pulses in optical fibers and spatio-temporal beams in optical Kerr media and ionizable media. Both numerical and analytical methods play an important role in the investigations. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Nonlinear Beam Physics

    Författare :Benjamin Folsom; Partikel- och kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nonlinear dynamics; Beam dynamics; Accelerator Physics; space charge; Accelerator magnets; simulations multi-particle dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : A condensed treatment of conventional beam physics (both linear and nonlinear) is given for the non-expert; this constitutes a minimum knowhow for constructing simulations of rudimentary beamlines. The criteria for an ideal nonlinear charged-particle simulation algorithm are then presented, leading to the derivation of a symplectic, explicit, Lorentz-covariant integrator. LÄS MER
