  2. 1. Analytical vortex solutions to Navier-Stokes equation

    Author : Henrik Tryggeson; Mats Lyberg; Maarten Brons; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; conical vortex; Navier-Stokes equation; analytical solution; 2-D vortices; turbulence; vortex ring; stretched vortex; coherent structures; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Fluid dynamics considers the physics of liquids and gases. This is a branch of classical physics and is totally based on Newton's laws of motion. Nevertheless, the equation of fluid motion, Navier-Stokes equation, becomes very complicated to solve even for very simple configurations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wind turbine wakes : controland vortex shedding

    Author : Davide Medici; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind Energy; Power Optimisation; Active Control; Yaw; Vortex; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

    Abstract : Wind tunnel studies of the wake behind a model wind turbine have been made in order to get a better understanding of wake development as well as the possibility to predict the power output from downstream turbines working in the wake of an upstream one. Both two-component hot-wire anemometry as well as particle image velocimetry (PIV) have been used to map the flow field. READ MORE

  5. 3. Structures, Properties and Dynamics of Turbulent Vortices

    Author : Farideh Ghasempour; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LES.; Vortex structure; Turbulence; Vortex properties; Vortex dynamics;

    Abstract : The development of models for several phenomena that occur in turbulent single- and multi-phase flows requires improved descriptions and quantifications of turbulent vortices. In many engineering applications, the time scale of these phenomena is equal to or smaller than the lifetime of turbulent vortices; consequently, they are not adequately described by using average turbulence properties.

  6. 4. Computational studies of passive vortex generators for flow control

    Author : Florian von Stillfried; Arne Johansson; Stefan Wallin; Sinisa Krajnovic; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; passive flow control; vortex generator; statistical modelling; turbulence; separation prevention; flat plate; diffuser; high-lift design; airfoil; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Many flow cases in fluid dynamics face undesirable flow separation due torising static pressure on wall boundaries. This occurs e.g. due to geometry as ina highly curved turbine inlet duct or e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Experimental and computational studies of turbulent separating internal flows

    Author : Olle Törnblom; Arne V. Johansson; Michel Stanislas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluid mechanics; turbulence; flow separation; turbulence modelling; asymmetric diffuser; boundary layer; PIV; vortex generator; separation control; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : The separating turbulent flow in a plane asymmetric diffuser with 8.5 degrees opening angle is investigated experimentally and computationally. The considered flow case is suitable for fundamental studies of separation, separation control and turbulence modelling. READ MORE
