  3. 2. Economic Effects of Megaprojects on Income Levels - Empirical Evidence from a Case Study of the Channel Tunnel and the United Kingdom

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Julius Meyer; [2022]
    Keywords : Channel Tunnel; International Fixed Link; Megaproject; Synthetic Control Method; United Kingdom;

    Abstract : Although the number of megaprojects implemented worldwide is increasing, there are still only a few significant international infrastructure megaprojects such as bridges or tunnels between countries. Due to cost explosions and overly optimistic forecasts for the use of bridges or tunnels, cost-benefit analyses often turn out to be negative. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical Study on Air Demand of Free Surface Flows in a Discharge Tunnel

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Jonathan Barassa; Rickard Nordlöf; [2020]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid mechanics; Hydropower; Air demand; Free surface flows; ANSYS Fluent;

    Abstract : Aeration issued through a ventilation shaft is an important measure to prevent cavitation and large gauge pressure in flood discharge tunnels. In order to dimension the ventilation shaft appropriately, itis necessary to have a good understanding of the air-water flow in the tunnel. READ MORE

  6. 5. Robust optimisation of the pressure-gradient distribution in turbulent boundary layers

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Yuki Morita; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to better characterise pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers (TBLs), and to advance the theory of these flows, typically canonical conditions are required. This is achieved by keeping the Clauser pressure-gradient parameter, β, constant along the streamwise direction, see for instance Mellor and Gibson [9] and Bobke et al. READ MORE
