Abstract:
2011 - 2012<br>The laminar-turbulent transition is a complex phenomenon involved in several multidisciplinary design issues, such as skin friction drag reduction, anti-icing and de-icing system performance prediction and heat transfer rates assessment. An accurate prediction of the boundary layer state is needed in order to control its thickness by active or passive systems. The state of the boundary layer is of high importance since skin friction drag and heat transfer rates in a turbulent boundary layer can be several times higher than those expected in laminar one.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with receptivity mechanisms of three-dimensional, crossflow-dominated boundary layers. The receptivity of two model problems, a swept-flat-plate and a swept-wing boundary layer, is investigated by solving the parabolised stability equations (PSE) as well as by performing direct numerical simulations (DNS).Both flow cases are known to exhibit strong inflectional instabilities, the crossflow disturbances, whose excitation by external disturbances such as surface roughness or free-stream vorticity is studied. One focus is on worst-case scenarios. This involves the determination

The linear receptivity and stability of plane idealized detonation with one-step Arrhenius type reaction kinetics is explored in the case of three-dimensional perturbations to a Zel'dovich-von Neumann-Doering base flow.

Additionally, the use of a multi-domain spectral collocation method for solving the conventional stability problem is explored within the context of normal-mode detonation. An extension of the stability analysis to confined detonations in a slightly porous walled tube is also carried out. Finally, an

The main theoretical contribution of this thesis is in the development and advancing of the organisational receptivity for change (ORC) theory adopting a multilevel perspective. Organisational change is a multilevel, multifaceted and complex phenomena which require cohesiveness of all levels for effective change implementation (Pettigrew et al., 1987; Butler, 2003). The ORC theory has been around for a decade, still, there is not much development on the original model (Bennett and Ferlie 1994; Butler 2003).

Although the process of implantation and decidualization are under control of progesterone and estrogen, the precise mechanisms involved in this regulation are not fully understood.
