Modelling diesel-ammonia two-stroke engines

The goal of this thesis is to characterise diesel-ammonia combustion using a mean value first principle approach, and to implement this characterisation of diesel-ammonia combustion in a time domain two-stroke engine model. This model will be used to indicate the technical feasibility of diesel-ammonia as a marine fuel. The main research...

Modelling vortex-induced vibrations with a single wake oscillator coupled to both cross-flow and in-line motions

Vortex-induced vibration or as well-known as VIV is a phenomenon that has caught the attention of engineers along history. VIV is related to many engineering fields. In the offshore industry, it is of importance for risers that extract oil from the subsoil, and tethered anchors for floating units.<br/>The main aim of the thesis is to model the...
