  2. 1. Investigations of Waterjet/Hull Interaction Effects

    Author : Arash Eslamdoost; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pressure jump method; thrust deduction; numerical simulation; waterjet propulsion; gross thrust; trim angle; waterjet hull interaction; net thrust; potential flow; sinkage; non-linear free-surface;

    Abstract : A waterjet propulsor operates in a different way than a conventional propeller. This makes it hard to use the same concepts for studying the thrust and powering of these systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Hydrodynamics of Waterjet/Hull Interaction

    Author : Arash Eslamdoost; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; trim angle; vena-contracta; transom clearance; net thrust; waterjet hull interaction; waterjet propulsion; capture area; exit drag; non-linear free-surface; intake drag; gross thrust; sinkage; streamtube; RANS; thrust deduction; potential flow; VOF;

    Abstract : The objective of the present investigation is to explore the physics behind the waterjet/hull interaction, and in particular the negative thrust deduction often reported in the semi-planing speed range. Another objective is to propose a validated numerical technique for computing the hydrodynamics of waterjet-driven hulls. READ MORE

  5. 3. Study of Supersonic Jet Noise Reduction using LES

    Author : Haukur Hafsteinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; G3D; Supersonic Jet; PIV; CD-nozzle; CFD; Compressible flow; CAA; Noise Reduction; LES; Flow Control;

    Abstract : Increases in air traffic and denser population around airports have led to stricterregulations on aircraft noise. High noise levels from high-speed aircraft can causehearing damage in pilots and the airfield personnel. The engine is the main sourceof noise of all jet aircraft and is therefore a key component for improvement. READ MORE

  6. 4. The conflict between Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and the Baltic coastal fisheries : new methods for the assessment and reduction of catch losses and gear damage

    Author : Arne Fjälling; Mats Amundin; Sverre Sjölander; Anders Fernö; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Ecology; Grey seals; Baltic coastal fisheries; Ekologi; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : There is a problematic interaction going on between grey seals and the small scale coastal fisheries in the Baltic. A large number of seals are by-caught and drowned each year, and the viability of the fishery is threatened by catch losses caused by the seals. READ MORE

  7. 5. Numerical Simulations of Noise Reduction Devices for Aero Engines

    Author : Haukur Hafsteinsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustic liner; G3D; CAA; CFD; CD-nozzle; LES;

    Abstract : Increasing air traffic and denser population around airports have led to stricterregulations on aircraft noise. The engine is the main source of noise of jet aircraft.Decreasing jet engine noise can in some cases reduce sonic fatigue andthereby increase the engine lifetime. READ MORE
