Tracks är ett utbildningskoncept som utvecklar både lärandet och lärandemiljöerna på Chalmers. Tracks betyder spår och det är just det Chalmers studenter erbjuds – spår mellan olika utbildningar i form av valbara kurser, där valen styrs av eget intresse. Inom ramen för Tracks finns möjligheter till individualiserad studiegång och samverkan mellan näringsliv, samhälle och akademin.

A sustainable marine transport sector
(2021) Alvelid, Carl; Schmidt, Daniel; Ljunge, Jonna; Gutke, Julia; Pai, Rahul Rajendra; Muthukrishnan, Shruthik Krishnan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Sjöblom, Jonas; Sjöblom, Jonas
In today’s highly globalised world, marine transport accounts for an important mode of travel as well as a key means of enabling transcontinental trade. There is an urgent need for a shift towards a more sustainable marine sector as the demand for at sea transport and shipping increases annually with rising levels of harmful emissions as a result. Moreover, the future of the fossil fuels currently employed for marine vessel propulsion is most unclear. The widely used Heavy Fuel Oil might become subject to highly volatile pricing as the global market moves towards reducing its fossil dependence. Also, stricter emission norms intended to bring the marine transport sector closer to the legislative levels already developed in land-based transportation are to be expected. This report introduces and discusses a selection of emissions-reducing measures which could contribute to a more sustainable marine transport sector, namely, biofuels, solar panels and electrification, hydrogen, fuel cells, methanol, speed reductions and wind power. Ultimately, wind power is chosen as a final suggestion with respect to lowering marine emissions. Wind is a free, renewable, and abundant form of energy especially suitable for marine transport and its extraction for marine vessel propulsion does not induce resource scarcity in other sectors. Biofuels are more expensive than the current fuels in use and pose environmental and ethical dilemmas related to land use change with the potential of creating distributional conflicts. When compared to other options, fully wind powered ships have the unparalleled benefit of zero emissions in theory. In contrast to solar power, wind power alone is sufficient for vessel propulsion although there is need for alternative methods if the wind direction and magnitude does not meet the requirements. Electric vessels struggle with low energy density in batteries and a complete lack of charging infrastructure, only permitting shorter voyages inadequate for meeting the demand for worldwide transport. Hydrogen fuels cause a considerable loss of usable shipping volume, and thus profit, due to its low volumetric density. Finally, from a stakeholder perspective it is argued that although initial investments may be high due to re-equipping or replacing of ships, wind power is a viable economic solution long-term as the “fuel” is inherently abundant and free. Also, a zero-emissions option like wind power is likely to be favourable in the eyes of authorities which are able to introduce policy instruments supporting the transition to a wind-powered marine future.

Automating Qubit Tune-up and Mixer Calibration
(2021) Abram, Hari; Jirlow, Martin; Heuts, Olivia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Geresdi, Attila; Eriksson, Axel; Castillo Moreno, Claudia
In this project we write scripts to automate qubit tune-up and mixer calibration, with the aid of the Labber instrument software and the Labber Python API. The python scripts are written to perform the measurements on two microwave platforms, Vivace and Keysight. The scripts then process the data from the measurements to extract the desired measures for qubit tuneup and mixer calibration. To conclude we note that although the scripts are able to perform there is still much room for improvement.

Compiling Quantum Conditionals in a Functional Language
(2021) Botö, Nicklas; Forslund, Fabian; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Geresdi, Attila; Geresdi, Attila
We present the functional quantum programming language Signe. The language features type inference, quantum conditionals, and compiles to multiple low-level representations. A compiler for Signe is presented with an implementation in Haskell. The compiler uses a Hindley-Milner type system, linearity checking, compilation to circuit and matrix data types, and a modern, user-friendly syntax in the functional style. The operational semantics are described in terms of the category of finite quantum computations FQC. Signe’s semantics and the FQC category are based on the QML language by Altenkirch and Grattage [1, 5, 4].

Dynamic Behaviour of a Fixed-end Square Hollow Section Steel Column Subjected to Wind Flow
(2022) Arafat, Ahmad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Yao, Huadong; Yao, Huadong
Steel lattice structures are widely used in the structural engineering. These structures are light in weight and usually all structural elements are exposed to wind. This forms that fact that wind loads are highly dependent of the cross-section of structural elements. Although there are several design codes available for assigning wind loads on lattice structures such as Eurocode - EN 1991-1-4 (2005), the resulted assigned wind loads in these codes are conservative and considering the upper bound solution. Additionally, these codes do not provide clear procedure for investigating the dynamic behaviour of the lattice structures. Therefore, this project has been directed towards investigating the dynamic behaviour of a fixed-end square hollow section steel column under wind flow. To carry out this project, finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis were coupled. The first analysis was built using Abaqus, where the material and boundary conditions of the column were assigned. The second analysis was composed of two steps, where the first step has been aimed to carry out a quasi-steady simulation using STAR-CCM+. Whereas, in the second step, codes of Abaqus and STAR-CCM+ were coupled. As expected, the column under wind loading will have wind-induced vibration frequencies in both directions (X and Y). The major frequency (in X-direction) is less dependent on mesh size and Time-step. Nevertheless, the minor frequency (in Y-direction) is highly dependent on the mesh size and Time-step, and has lower amplitude. Finally, calculation according to Eurocode reveals conservative results in comparison with the numerical solutions.

Establishing a Primary Healthcare Center for Students in Gothenburg: An investigation of the needs, possibilities and designs of a primary healthcare center for university students
(2022) Steffner, Alva; von Sydow, Anna; Trinh, Thomas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Hellström, Andreas; Alexandersson, Patrik
Attending university is for most students a challenging period in life, often in combination with being a young adult and experiencing new mental and physical situations. Having access to support within healthcare and student health service is important to maintain a healthy life as a student. This report aims to investigate the healthcare needs and current healthcare services for university students in Gothenburg. Furthermore, this report aims to investigate the possibilities and propose solutions and design ideas for opening a primary healthcare center owned by Gothenburg’s Students Company Group and targeted at university students of Gothenburg. The suggestions are also based on investigating the healthcare needs and current services of university students in Gothenburg. This study is a literature review as well as an interview study with key persons and companies. The results show that there seems to be an increased prevalence of mental illness among young adults, where university students may be particularly susceptible to mental health issues, which indicates a need for more preventative care and adjusted healthcare. The suggested solutions for a primary healthcare center for students include adjustments in the organizational design and a location close to the students. The conclusion is that there is a need for more preventive care and adjusted healthcare for students, and by utilising all possibilities when opening a primary healthcare center for students, it has the potential to not only help students in need of healthcare but also make the students of Gothenburg healthier.

Fluid-Structure Interaction; Stiffness Effects on Airfoil Flutter: A numerical study of airfoil flutter in STAR-CCM+
(2022) Tylén, Oskar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; Yao, Huadong; Yao, Huadong
This report looks in to the phenomenon called flutter, a type of flow induced vibration in structures occurring at specific flow conditions. Specifically, the project looks at how flutter affects airfoils, and how the structural stiffness of the airfoil impacts the flutter effects at a certain set of conditions. The analysis was carried out using commercial CFD solver STAR-CCM+. Within this software, the structural dynamics of a symmetric NACA0012 airfoil were modeled as a two-degree-of-freedom system with one bending mode and one torsional mode. Due to constraints on computational power and time, the mesh generation was adjusted to reduce computational time as much as possible without it effecting the behaviour of certain parameters, particularly the aerodynamic lift coefficient which was considered an important performance measure for the airfoil. The results indicate that with a given set of operating conditions, adjusting the structural stiffness can be used as an effective countermeasure against flutter. However due to the mesh limitations mentioned above, the quality of the results can be questioned when looking closer at the flow field and numerical instabilities effecting some parameters.
