  1. 1. Increasing ecosystem services at an industrial area : A study applied to Rönnskärsverken

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lisa Larsson; Petra Ljunggren; [2023]
    Keywords : Green areas; Biodiversity; Environmental regulation; Nature Based Solutions; Stormwater management;

    Abstract : What are ecosystem services, what are the possibilities to use them as a solution to remediate environmental problems, and how can they be increased in an industrial area such as Rönnskärsverken? The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the potential and the incentive for increasing ecosystem services in Rönnskärsverken’s industrial area through green areas and nature based stormwater management solutions on the site.  Ecosystem services is a concept that was put on the political agenda in the UN in 2005 in order to create a common definition and valuation to raise awareness of the values that nature provides to human beings.

  3. 2. Development of a Low Noise Drone Propeller Using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Axel Schulz; [2023]
    Keywords : Drone Propeller Low Noise Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydroacoustic Modelling of Podded Propulsion System : Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction Using ANSYS

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Martin Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluid Mechanics; Computational Aeroacoustics; Frequency Response; Noise and Vibration; Pod; Propulsion System; ANSYS; Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations; Kongsberg Maritime Sweden AB;

    Abstract : Ocean noise pollution is an invisible but growing threat. There are many sources of sound in the ocean but human underwater radiated noise, in particular from shipping is one of the most prominent one. Ocean noise pollution can interfere or sometimes even directly harm marine life. READ MORE

  5. 4. A comparison of 2D and 3D resistivity surveys for 3D inversion imaging

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julia Cavell; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Following study focuses on electrical resistivity surveying and how it can be used as an exploration method to increase knowledge of subsurface structures. Future scenarios with increasing population and rapid urbani-zation, put high demands on reliable infrastructure; safe foundations, un-derground structures, environmental safety and access to resources.

  6. 5. The impact of noice pollution and vibrations on nearby buildings : How is the school Kulturama affected by noise and vibrations from the 'nya tunnelbana' project?

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Hadil Jawad; Aren Nabatyan; [2021]
    Keywords : Noice pollution; vibrations; metro; nya tunnelbana project; noice absorbents; Buller; vibrationer; stomljud; luftburet ljud; nya tunnelbana projekt; absorbenter;

    Abstract : To meet the needs of the growing city of Stockholm, a large-scale project to expand the subway has been initiated. The tunneling involved in the project causes several disturbances, in terms of vibration and noise pollution, on the surroundings. This is problematic as vibration and noise pollution has been shown to have a negative health impact. READ MORE
