ii iii PREFACE This licentiate thesis is the result of the work conducted during the last two years at the Division of Machine Elements at Luleå University of Technology. The financial support for this work has been provided by the Swedish Reasearch Council (Veten-skapsrådet). I firstly would like to thank my supervisors Sergei Glavatskih and Michel Cer-vantes for their valuable guidance and excellent help through all the discussions we have had. My colleagues at the Division of Machine Elements are gratefully acknowl-edged for making the working environnement pleasant and enjoyable. I am grateful to my former colleagues at the Division of Fluid Mechanics division who provided me some technical help and suggestions about the CFD problems frequently encoun-tered. And I am also thankful to Donald McCarthy for his time and help to check the english grammar of this work. The extra-professionnal life would not have been so enjoyable without my friends who deserve to be thanked. Finally, a special thanks goes to my familly who always supported and encouraged me in my professionnal life, even if far from them.
