1. 1. Deriving characteristics of thin cirrus clouds from observations with the IRF lidar

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Jennifer Edman; [2019]
   Keywords : cirrus; lidar; polar regions; optical thickness; clouds; ice clouds; BSR; backscatter coefficient;

   Abstract : Cirrus clouds play an important role in radiative transfer, and thus have impact on the energy balance of the atmosphere and the climate of the Earth. Furthermore, they occur often and cover large areas globally at any time. Nevertheless, cirrus clouds are poorly studied, especially in the polar regions. READ MORE

3. 2. CFD analysis of a glider aircraft : Using different RANS solvers and introducing improvements in the design

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

   Author : David Perez Sancha; [2019]
   Keywords : CFD; RANS; Standard Cirrus; glider; Fluent; SU2; OpenFOAM; SST; transition; winglet.;

   Abstract : In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been carried out in order to investigate and improve the performance of the Standard Cirrus glider, using different Navier-Stokes methods and solving the equations for the steady flow. The work has been divided in two parts: First, a study is performed to test the quality of the transition model (Gamma-ReTheta). READ MORE
