  1. 1. Birds in the Flow: Flight Mechanics, Wake Dynamics and Flight Performance

    Författare :Mikael Rosén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Djurekologi; Animal ecology; Eleonora s falcon.; hunting; optimum wingspan; tail posture; wingbeat kinematics; wake topology; DPIV; flight performance; wake dynamics; flight mechanics; wind tunnel; Flight; bird;

    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

  3. 2. Analysis of Flow Structures in Wake Flows for Train Aerodynamics

    Författare :Tomas W. Muld; Dan Henningson; Gunilla Efraimsson; Shia-Hui Peng; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Train Aerodynamics; Slipstream; Wake Flow; Detached-EddySimulation; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; Koopman Mode Decomposi-tion; Surface-mounted Cube; Aerodynamic Train Model; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Train transportation is a vital part of the transportation system of today anddue to its safe and environmental friendly concept it will be even more impor-tant in the future. The speeds of trains have increased continuously and withhigher speeds the aerodynamic effects become even more important. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Shedding light on the bluff body wake instability

    Författare :Renzo Trip; Jens Fransson; Charles Williamson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : The flow around a vehicle, for example, results in a large resistance and can generate a complex swirl pattern behind the body of the vehicle, which can lead to strong alternating lateral forces. There is therefore a clear need for more fundamental understanding of the instability of this so-called wake region, which arises behind bluff bodies. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Energy Efficient Protocols for Active RFID

    Författare :Björn Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wake-up radio; energy consumption; energy efficient; Active RFID; protocol; RFID; throughput; back-off; RFID-system; delay;

    Sammanfattning : Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems come in different flavours; passive, active, semi-passive, or semi-active. Those different types of RFID are supported by different, internationally accepted protocol standards as well as by several accepted proprietary protocols. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Direct Numerical Simulation of Boundary-layer Transition with Free-stream Turbulence

    Författare :Kristina Durovic; Dan Henningson; Ardeshir Hanifi; Philipp Schlatter; Tamer Zaki; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis considers the generation and influence of free-stream turbulence toboundary layer transition on both flat and curved bodies in the flow. Variousflow configurations such as flow around the flat plate with a sharp leading edgeand low-pressure turbine blades are considered. LÄS MER
