Mathematical Aspects of Thermoacoustics PROEFSCHRIFT ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof.dr.ir. C.J. van Duijn, voor een commissie aangewezen door het College voor Promoties in het openbaar te verdedigen op donderdag 25 juni 2009 om 16.00 uur door Petrus Hendrikus Maria Wilhelmus in ’t panhuis geboren te Roermond Dit proefschrift is goedgekeurd door de promotor: prof.dr. J.J.M. Slot Copromotoren: dr. S.W. Rienstra en prof.dr. J. Molenaar To Ik Cuin Preface This project is part of a twin PhD program between the Departments of Mathemat- ics and Computer Science and Applied Physics and is sponsored by the Technology Foundation (STW), Royal Dutch Shell, the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), and Aster Thermoacoustics. I would like to express thanks to all people who participated in this project. First and foremost I would like to thank my mathematical supervisors dr. Sjoerd Rienstra, prof.dr. Han Slot, and prof.dr. Jaap Molenaar for their expert guidance and stimulating support. I am also indebted to my physics colleagues Paul Aben, dr. Jos Zeegers, and prof.dr. Fons de Waele, who helped to broaden and deepen my understanding of the physics involved. I am also grateful for the many useful discussions I have had with the people from ECN, Aster Thermoacoustics, and Shell. My defense committee is formed by prof.dr. Anthony Atchley, prof.dr. Bendiks-Jan Boersma, and prof.dr. Mico Hirschberg, together with my supervisors dr. Sjoerd Rien- stra, prof.dr. Han Slot, and prof.dr. Jaap Molenaar. I would like to thank them for the time invested and their willingness to judge my work. I also want to thank prof.dr. Bob Mattheij for agreeing to be part of the extended defense committee. What made these four years especially enjoyable was the great working atmosphere within CASA and the Low Temperature group. My special thanks go out to my of- fice mate and partner-in-crime Erwin who started and finished his PhD (and Master) at the same time as I did. Many thanks also to all the current and former colleagues that I have had the pleasure to work with, in particular the PhD students and postdocs: Aga, Ali, Andriy, Bart, Berkan, Christina, Darcy, Davit, Dragan, Hans, Jurgen, Kakuba, Kamyar, Kundan, Laura, Marco, Maria ( 2), Mark, Matthias, Maxim, Michiel, Miguel, Mirela, Nico, Oleg, Patricio, Paul, Remko,× Remo, Roxana, Shruti, Sven, Tasnim, Temes- gen, Valeriu, Venkat, Wenqing, Yabin, Yan, Yixin, Yves, Zoran. I fondly think back to our daily lunches at the Kennispoort, the weekly poker games, the road-trips to Den- mark, the regular squash/tennis/football games, and the many nights in town that I have enjoyed with so many of you. Our two secretaries Mar`ese and Enna also deserve a special word of thanks, for making life of a PhD student so much easier by taking care of all administrative details. I am also thankful to the members of the football teams Pusphaira and Old Soccers, and hope they will have more success without me. On a more personal level, I would like to thank all my friends and family, for their continuous love and support. I especially want to show appreciation to my mom for her unbridled enthusiasm and my dad, who I wish could have been here today. I also want to thank my siblings Jos, Hellen, and Dorris and their significant others Marjanne, Joram, and Tonnie. Of course I should not forget to mention my little nephew Sep, who ii Preface is getting so big now. Last, but definitely not least, I would like to thank my girlfriend Jessey, to whom this thesis is dedicated, for her unlimited love and patience in these last few months.
