The Hanson Larson evolution model assumes that wave height grows or decays from an initial condition towards an equilibrium wave height through a simple exponential growth. The model uses wind input data, fetch length and depth measurements. Using this input parameters, it both determines the wave height and period values, thus predicts wave climate. The model is developed using deep water conditi
Over the past decade, the advances in grating-based soft X-ray spectrometers have revolutionizedthe soft X-ray spectroscopies in materials research. However, these novel spectrometers are mostlydedicated designs, which cannot be easily adopted for applications with diverging demands. Here wepresent a versatile spectrometer design concept based on the Hettrick-Underwood optical scheme thatuses modu
In this study, an efficient numerical model for predicting ship waves was developed using Green’s functions. Avoiding detailed description of the complex boundary conditions around a ship, this model simply used an inversion technique for estimating the wave source induced by a ship as a function of the navigation route and adjacent measured water level fluctuations. The Green’s functions were det
The demand for improved models for simulation of mechanical problem is today very great, especially since today's computer capacity makes it possible to simulate large and complicated problems. In some applications, temperature effects and the heat generated from inelastic deformation can not be neglected in order to achieve a good accuracy of the simulation. In this thesis, a model for simulatio
This thesis studies the role of interaction between charged particles for transport and optical properties in nanostructures. Simulations are provided for a quantitative description of the system dynamics probed by either current spectroscopy or light absorption. In the first part of the thesis (Part I) the basic theories are described and in the second part of the thesis (Part II) the papers lis
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning:Dagens datorer har krympt i storlek i takt med den ständigt ökande kompetensen att tillverka transistorer med en anmärkningsvärd noggrannhet. Storleksskalan av nya transistorer börjar motsvara den av en handfull atomer.På denna skala dominerar kvantfysik, vilket är ett väsentligt hinder för de traditionella datorkomponenterna. Men detta innebär inte bara en begräThe work contained in this thesis deals with two closely related topics. Papers I-III deal with charge transport statistics in nanoscale devices to investigate the presence of entanglement in the constituent electrons. We identify the contributions of entangled electron pairs to the current cross-correlations as a signature of entanglement. Paper IV treats the electric control of a quantum dot ba
This thesis devolops a general formalism for continuous feedback control in quantum systems. The main result is a quantum Fokker-Planck master equation describing the joint dynamics of a quantum system and a detector with finite bandwidth. For a fast detector, this equation can be reduced to a Markovian master equation for the system dynamics. In particular, the formalism is amenable to analytical
