1. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

2. Investigation of a Novel Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Platform and Intake
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) provides many benefits for space missions, including better image resolution for Earth observation, better telecommunication link with ground stations, lower launch cost, lower risk of collisions, and fast end-of-life disposal. The last point in benefit is also the main challenge for placing satellites in VLEO. READ MORE

3. Shallow Water : A comparison between hydraulic measurements and numerical models
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : In the near future hydropower will be used to regulate intermittent energy sources, shallow water ways can then occur in close proximity to the power plants, where the bottom often consists of stones in a similar length scale as the water depth. The idea of this project, which has been initiated by Vattenfall R\&D, is to compare experimental measurements in a laboratory environment with numerical simulations with CFD, this to find a way to represent roughness structures where there is low relative submergence.

4. CFD Analyses for Wind Load AssessmentCFD Analyses for Wind Load Assessment : Wind-induced vibrations in the Bomarsunds Bridge hangers
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The trend in recent years of building longer and slender bridge components has introduced new challenges to ensure their stability and strength. This master thesis focuses on the effects of wind-induced vibrations in the context of long, slender arch bridge components, particularly the recently constructed Bomarsunds Bridge in Åland, Finland.

5. Risk of fragment hit on aircraft after releasing a bomb
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : An aircraft is exposed for a certain risk during warhead deployment. If the distance is too short between the aircraftand warhead during burst, fragments may hit the aircraft with fatal consequences. The warhead consists not onlyof fragments created during burst but also parts to attach it to the aircraft such as mounting plates and fasteningloops. READ MORE
