  1. 6. Winter is coming - Investigating urban design in a Winter city

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Erica Välimaa; [2021]
    Keywords : Winter city; Urban design; Sustainable urban design; Kiruna; Arctic; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : All around the world is the form of the built environment playing a significant role in either enabling or inhibiting outdoor activities. When it comes to winter and Winter cities, it is a challenge how to enable and encourage outdoor activities and soft mobility as the harsh conditions often make it uncomfortable to spend longer periods of time outdoors.

  3. 7. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

  4. 8. Time-Resolved Adaptive Finite Element Simulations for Building Aerodynamics : A proof of concept on minimal computational resources

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Linde van Beers; [2021]
    Keywords : Building aerodynamics; Computational fluid dynamics; Wind engineering; FEniCS; Adaptive mesh refinement; Atmospheric boundary layer; Direct finite element simulation; Byggnadsaerodynamik; Beräkningsströmningsdynamik; Vindteknik; FEniCS; Adaptiv nätförfining; Atmosfäriskt gränsskikt; Direkt finita elementsimulering;

    Abstract : The effect of building geometry on the wind environment of cities is such that it can cause problems like wind danger, discomfort and poor ventilation of airborne pollutants. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can play a role in assessing changes in wind environment caused by building projects before realisation at little cost. READ MORE

  5. 9. Feasibility of product development for a wind turbine with a vertical axis : Mechanical analysis and design improvement

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Martin Johnson; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is intended primarily as estimating the technical feasibility of aninvention while achieving product development for a company as a project. Theproject tries to use the invention for covering the market of urban wind turbines. READ MORE

  6. 10. Outdoor thermal comfort in Drottninghög, Helsingborg: a study on the effects of urban densification in a warmer climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Erlström; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Extreme heat can lead to a significant increase in mortality, especially for urban citizens. Densification of urban areas can dramatically affect the local climate of the city by replacing green areas with impermeable materials and changing both radiative and turbulent fluxes. READ MORE
