<strong>Experimental</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Numerical</strong> <strong>Study</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Swirling</strong> Flow in Scavenging Process for 2-Stroke<br />

Marine Diesel Engines<br />

Acknowledgment<br />

Regarding this thesis, the acknowledgment goes to many people who have<br />

been directly or indirectly giving their support <strong>and</strong> help.<br />

At first I am very thankful to DTU, MAN Diesel <strong>and</strong> Turbo <strong>and</strong> Danish<br />

Centre for Maritime Technology (DCMT) for funding the project <strong>and</strong> giving<br />

me the opportunity to work on a very challenging <strong>and</strong> interesting topic.<br />

At the university, among teachers I am thankful to V. Okulov, J. H. Walther,<br />

D. Cavar, J. Schramm <strong>and</strong> especially my supervisor K. E. Meyer for their<br />

guidance <strong>and</strong> suggestions throughout. Many thanks go to colleagues, Clara<br />

Velte, Anas Obeidat, Kristian Ingvorsen <strong>and</strong> Teis Schnipper for many fruitful<br />

discussions. I should especially thank Morten from workshop at MEK<br />

without whom setting up the experimental test rig was not possible.<br />

I am also thankful to students Lauritz Andersen, Morten Plum <strong>and</strong> Flavio<br />

Pergolesi for their work <strong>and</strong> help in the development <strong>of</strong> the experimental<br />

setup while carrying their thesis works.<br />

Finally I am very thankful to my family for their love <strong>and</strong> affection without<br />

which those times <strong>of</strong> being tired <strong>and</strong> work stressed would not be over easily.
