The essay analyses three works of supernatural horror fiction written by different authors over various periods of time. These three works are “The Old Nurse’s Story” by Elizabeth Gaskell, “Lost Hearts” by M. R. James and The Small Hand by Susan Hill. The argument of the essay is that all three stories diverge from the conventions of Gothic horror stories by including a child in the role of victim and ghost. This makes the stories more frightening since they challenge the reader’s expectations of children’s innocence. In order to discern how the stories diverge from the norm the essay explores the traditional conventions of the genre such as setting, narrator, the structure of the time-frame, the buildup of mystery, the observer of the ghost, the ghost itself, and finally the visitation. In the end, the essay finds that all three of the analysed stories fit the formula of a conventional Gothic horror story, using similar methods for building up suspense and fear in the reader. Moreover, all three enhance the effect through the combination of evil and innocence in the children.

The present thesis deals with the development and performance analysis ofanisotropy-resolving models for the small, unresolved scales (”sub-grid scales”,SGS) in large eddy simulation (LES). The models are characterised by a descriptionof anisotropy by use of explicit algebraic models for both the subgridscale(SGS) stress tensor (EASSM) and SGS scalar flux vector (EASSFM). Extensiveanalysis of the performance of the explicit algebraic SGS stress model(EASSM) has been performed and comparisons made with the conventionalisotropic dynamic eddy viscosity model (DEVM). The studies include LES ofplane channel flow at relatively high Reynolds numbers and a wide range ofresolutions and LES of separated flow in a channel with streamwise periodichill-shaped constrictions (periodic hill flow) at coarse resolutions. The formersimulations were carried out with a pseudo-spectral Navier–Stokes solver, whilethe latter simulations were computed with a second-order, finite-volume basedsolver for unstructured grids. The LESs of channel flow demonstrate that theEASSM gives a good description of the SGS anisotropy, which in turn gives ahigh degree of resolution independence, contrary to the behaviour of LES predictionsusing the DEVM. LESs of periodic hill flow showed that the EASSMalso for this case gives significantly better flow predictions than the DEVM.In particular, the reattachment point was much better predicted with the EASSMand reasonably well predicted even at very coarse resolutions, where theDEVM is unable to predict a proper flow separation.The explicit algebraic SGS scalar flux model (EASSFM) is developed toimprove LES predictions of complex anisotropic flows with turbulent heat ormass transfer, and can be described as a nonlinear tensor eddy diffusivity model.It was tested in combination with the EASSM for the SGS stresses, and itsperformance was compared to the conventional dynamic eddy diffusivity model(DEDM) in channel flow with and without system rotation in the wall-normaldirection. EASSM and EASSFM gave predictions of high accuracy for meanvelocity and mean scalar fields, as well as stresses and scalar flux components.An extension of the EASSM and EASSFM, based on stochastic differentialequations of Langevin type, gave further improvements. In contrast to conventionalmodels, these extended models are able to describe intermittent transferof energy from the small, unresolved scales, to the resolved large ones.The present study shows that the EASSM/EASSFM gives a clear improvementof LES of wall-bounded flows in simple, as well as in complex geometriesin comparison with simpler SGS models. This is also shown to hold for a widerange of resolutions and is particularly accentuated for coarse resolution. The advantages are also demonstrated both for high-order numerical schemes andfor solvers using low-order finite volume methods. The models therefore havea clear potential for more applied computational fluid mechanics. / <p>QC 20140304</p> / Explicit algebraic sub-grid scale modelling for large-eddy simulations
