1. Birds in the Flow: Flight Mechanics, Wake Dynamics and Flight Performance
Sammanfattning : I share my fascination of bird flight with many others, and here I summarise my thesis on the subject. This thesis emphasises the mechanics of bird flight by focusing on flight mechanics, wake dynamics and flight performance. LÄS MER
2. Unsteady aerodynamic effects on the driving stability of passenger vehicles
Sammanfattning : The passenger car is a vital part of modern society, giving people the freedom of flexible travel. As technology advances, customers increase their demand for future products. The automotive industry must therefore adapt to society's requirements for energy-efficient travel, where developing low-drag vehicles is key. LÄS MER
3. Wind power wake modelling : Development and application of an actuator disc method for industrial utilization
Sammanfattning : As a wind turbine extracts energy from the wind it creates a region downstream where the wind velocity is decreased and the urbulence intensity is increased, this region is commonly called the wake region. Today’s wind farms include a large number of wind turbines position in tight layouts. LÄS MER
4. Power and Wake Dynamics of Hawkmoth Flight
Sammanfattning : Aerodynamic theory states that the power required to fly is related to flight speed with a ∪-shaped curve. This has been shown in vertebrates, but insects have been proposed to have a flat, or J-shaped power curve. LÄS MER
5. Test Charge Response of a Dusty Plasma with Grain Size Distribution and Charging Dynamics
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis reports analytical and numerical results for the electrostatic response of a dusty plasma to a moving test charge. Two important physical aspects of dusty plasmas, namely grain size distribution and grain charging dynamics were taken into account. LÄS MER
