  1. 1. Decay Chains of Fast Alpha Emitters in the Actinide Region

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Tanvir Sayed; [2024]
    Keywords : alpha decay; alpha emissions; fine structure; decay chain; decay scheme; alpha spectrometry; actinide; nucleus; nuclear structure; nuclear states; energy levels; uranium isotopes; U310 experiment; parasitic runs; decay station; TASISpec ; moving window deconvolution; digitisers; alpha-gamma coincidence; 221-Th decay; fine structure of alpha decay to 217-Ra; GSI; Gamow s theory; Geiger-Nuttall; chain search; short half-lives; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : With the advent of increasingly advanced spectroscopic instruments after the turn of the century, it has become accessible to unravel the structure of instantly ‘vanishing’ nuclei, with lifetimes as short as 1 μs, and responsible for pile-up events in analog electronics. Experimental data has been recorded by the Nuclear Structure Group at Lund University for 48Ca/50Ti + nat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Moderling Acoustic Transmission in Towed Array Sonars : Computations of the coupled acoustic and elastic wave equations

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Bill Claesson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a method of solving the Helmholtz equation coupled with the Navier-Cauchy equation over a cross section of a Towed Array Sonar (TAS) modeled as a simplified cylindrical shell. The purpose of solving these equations is to estimate the transfer function of the pressure between the outside boundary and a position inside the TAS. READ MORE

  4. 3. Finite-Element Analysis of Cryogenic Pressure Vessels Under Blast Loading

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Casper Liavåg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cryogenic Pressure Vessel; Blast; Blast Loading; Pressure Vessel; Launch Infrastructure;

    Abstract : The behavior of cryogenic double-walled pressure vessels, such as thoseused in space launch vehicle infrastructure, under blast loading is a somewhatunderstudied topic. This is of interest due its implications on, among otherthings, launch site design and safety in the event of a launch vehicle failure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Response of foraminifera Ammonia confertitesta (T6) to ocean acidification, warming, and deoxygenation - An experimental approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Elsa Muller; [2023]
    Keywords : Acidification; Warming; Deoxygenation; Foraminifera; Ammonia confertitesta T6 ; Culture Experiment; Trace elements; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. READ MORE

  6. 5. CFD Analysis of the Flow Around a Paraglider Wing

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Caterina Gennari; [2023]
    Keywords : Paraglider Wing; CFD; RANS; DES; Aerodynamics; Aerodynamic Hysteresis; FSI; Deformable Structure; Membrane; Shell Elements;

    Abstract : In this study, the characteristics of the flow around a paraglider wing were investigated through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations by solving both Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulations were employed. This allowed the observation of how the unique shape of the canopy of a paraglider can influence the behaviour of the flow and how aerodynamic hysteresis can manifest on this sort of wing. READ MORE
