In the same way, the list of persons who deserve being thanked by its author can never be complete. Nevertheless, it is a pleasant exercise of memory to recall at least some of the many exceptional persons who contributed, knowingly and unknowingly, to the successful end of my doctoral carrier. Prof. Tony Arts has been my supervisor at VKI throughout these years. Since he picked me up as a stagiaire, he guided me attentively and still let me the freedom I needed. He dispensed countless hints, advises, lessons. He taught me anything from radial equilibrium to thermocouples calibration.
