Tosto, F. (author)The vast majority of energy conversion systems currently makes use of fossil fuels, whose combustion generates harmful greenhouse gases. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is thus paramount to limiting the environmental impact of human activities on the climate. In this regard, the harvesting of wasted thermal energy constitutes a...doctoral thesis 2023

Chakraborty, Aneek (author)Thermal convection is a phenomenon seen in almost all facets of life, ranging from planetary convection to ocean currents and convection inside the Earth. The physics of thermal convection complicates when a porous wall layer is present. Flow over urban canopies, forest canopies or flow in underground aquifers are classic examples where thermal...master thesis 2023

Kotturshettar, Sanath (author)Stratified turbulent flows abound in environmental and industrial settings. Examples are atmospheric boundary layer flows, the transport of nutrients and organisms and the mixing of heat and salinity in the oceans, fluid flow in heat exchangers, and the transport of reactants and products in chemical reactions. These examples and many others...master thesis 2023
