  1. 1. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Modeling of a Free Surface Flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mathieu Marmier; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; Free Surface Flow; VOF; STAR-CCM ; Multiphase Simulation; Nuclear Engineering; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This project deals with the CFD modelling of a free surface flow. The aim is to develop and validate a fast and accurate numerical model for stratified two-phase flows. Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is employed. The purpose is to use the developed numerical model for the design of an element within a compact nuclear reactor. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
    Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

  4. 3. Manning’s roughness coefficient in small scale nature-like fish passages

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Aleksander Jaworowski; [2022]
    Keywords : Manning’s coefficient; flow measurement; fish passage; fish migration; roughness coefficient; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fishway construction remains a crucial measure in environmental adaption of flow barriers. A well-functioning fishway should be able to pass all naturally occurring species of fish and other aquatic fauna. READ MORE

  5. 4. Installation of cables for monitoring purposes in the ground by using Horizontal Directional Drilling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Eduardo Garcia Cañas; [2022]
    Keywords : HDD; Earth Embankment Dam; Resistivity; ERT; IP; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The median age for Swedish earth embankment dams is about 60 years. Due to its longevity, one of the major concerns is the internal erosion causing increased seepage through the dam, which ultimately may increases the risk for dam failure. To meet this challenge, there is a need for improved monitoring methods. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of the test procedure for a Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Mohammad Minhajur Ahmed; [2021]
    Keywords : Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer; compacted soil; density; volumetric measurement; artificial pits.;

    Abstract : A Rubber Balloon Soil Densitometer is one of the essential apparatuses in Geotechnical Engineering to measure the in-place volume of compacted soil to calculate the soil density. In 2019, some renowned institutions and organizations, Vattenfall, Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Lund University, and HydroResearch AB, were involved in a research project.
