  1. 1. A Study of Grain Drift in C Stars : Theoretical Modeling of Dust-Driven Winds in Carbon-Rich Pulsating Giant Stars

    Författare :Christer Sandin; Susanne Höfner; Bengt Gustafsson; Lee Anne Willson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; hydrodynamics; radiative transfer; instabilities; dust formation; stars: AGB and post-AGB; stars: mass-loss; stars: variables: general; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics; teoretisk astrofysik;

    Sammanfattning : A major fraction of stars will pass through a short period of dramatic events in their final evolutionary stage. Low- to intermediate-mass stars, studied here, are stripped of their outer parts in a slow massive wind. This mass loss reshapes both the star and the surrounding medium. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Stellar Winds of Cool Giants : Investigating the Mass-Loss Mechanism of AGB Stars

    Författare :Sofie Liljegren; Susanne Höfner; Kjell Eriksson; Bernd Freytag; Hans Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; late-type stars; AGB stars; stellar winds; stellar atmospheres; dust; stellar pulsation; hydrodynamics; radiative transfer;

    Sammanfattning : Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are luminous cool giants of low to intermediate mass that are strongly pulsating and non-spherical, with heavy mass loss through a stellar wind. The mass loss makes these stars important for galactic chemistry, as the wind enriches the interstellar medium with new elements and dust, and it determines the final fate of these stars. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Advanced Spectral Leakage (ASL) scheme for simulations of merging neutron stars

    Författare :Davide Gizzi; Stephan Rosswog; Evan O'Connor; Albino Perego; Carla Fröhlich; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrodynamics; radiative transfer; neutrinos; stars: neutron; supernovae: general; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Sammanfattning : The detection of a blue macronova following the event GW170817 has emphasized the role that neutrinos play in merging neutron stars. In particular, neutrinos are able to drive mass ejection, the so-called neutrino-driven winds, and change the neutron richness of the matter by absorption. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modeling flow and sediment transport in water bodies and watersheds

    Författare :Muluneh Admass Mekonnen; Bijan Dargahi; Anders Wörman; Hans Bergh; Edward Buchak; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bed load transport model; ECOMSED; Hydrology; Hydrodynamics; Spectral Analysis; SWAT; Water engineering; Vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The research focus is on the various modeling aspects of flow and sediment transport in water bodies and watersheds. The interaction of flow with a mobile bed involves a complex process in which various turbulent scales characterized by coherent structures cause a chaotic sediment motion. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Land-Sea Interactions in the Coastal-Marine System of the Baltic Sea under Hydro-Climatic Variability

    Författare :Yuanying Chen; Vladimir Cvetkovic; Carmen Prieto; Marco Marani; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Baltic Sea; nutrient loads; hydro-climatic variability; hydrodynamics; solute transport; water quality.; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates a few important component processes for understanding and quantifying eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, that include characterization of nutrient loadings from land, water flow in the sea under changing climate conditions and transport of solutes originating from different locations along the coast. Furthermore, this study aims to improve our understanding on how processes from land (the nutrient loading conditions) and the sea (transport dynamics and water quality) couple to determine the fate of nutrients in the sea and the water quality in a selected localized coastal area, the Himmerfjärden Bay.
