  2. 1. Numerical studies of turbulent flames in wall-jet flows

    Author : Zeinab Pouransari; Arne V. Johansson; Yves D'Angelo; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbulence; combustion; direct numerical simulation; wall-jet; heat release effects; mixing scales; non-premixed flame; wall heat transfer; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : The present thesis deals with the fundamental aspects of turbulent mixing and non-premixed combustion in the wall-jet flow, which has a close resemblance to many industrial applications. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent wall-jets with isothermal and exothermic reactions are performed. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Turbulent Wall Jets

    Author : Hans Abrahamsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-preservation; similarity theory; scaling laws; local flow reversals; high turbulence levels; turbulent kinetic energy budget; two-dimensional; turbulent; hot-wire anemometry; wall jet; three-dimensional; pulsed hot-wire anemometry;

    Abstract : An experimental investigation of the two- and three-dimensional turbulent wall jets has been conducted. The measurements have been performed using different hot-wire techniques in large scale wall jet facilities, and the measurements were focused on the fully-developed region of the flow. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Model for Simulation of Fiber Suspension Flows

    Author : David Hammarström; KTH; []
    Keywords : rheology; fiber; suspension; CFD; model; wall; slip; turbulence;

    Abstract : The fiber suspensions in the production line from wood topaper are subjected to many types of chemical and mechanicalprocesses, in which the flow of the suspension is of vitalimportance. The flow of the suspension determines the degree ofuniformity of the fibers through the processing, which inreturn affects the properties of the fiber suspension. READ MORE

  6. 4. Turbulence Modelling of Flows Related to Wall-Cooling Applications

    Author : Stefan Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; low-Reynolds number models; second-order-moment closures; turbulent heat transfer; two-equation models; film-cooling; near-wall models; turbulence modelling;

    Abstract : Engineering flows are generally characterised by complex strain field and turbulence structure arising from a combination of shear, curvature, separation and recirculation etc. Under such flow conditions, transport by turbulent velocity fluctuations can make a significant contribution to the transport of momentum, heat and mass.

  7. 5. Numerical Investigation of Rotating and Stratified Turbulence

    Author : Enrico Deusebio; Erik Lindborg; Johan Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geostrophic turbulence; stable stratification; rotation; wall-bounded turbulence; gravity waves; atmospherical dynamics; direct numertical simulations; SRA - E-Science SeRC ; SRA - E-vetenskap SeRC ;

    Abstract : Atmospheric and oceanic flows are strongly affected by rotation and stratification. Rotation is exerted through Coriolis forces which mainly act in horizontal planes whereas stratification largely affects the motion along the vertical direction through buoyancy forces, the latters related to the vertical variation of the fluid density.
