2. 21. On Tyre Rotation Modelling and Cooling Flow Measurements

   Author : Teddy Hobeika; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; Aerodynamics; Tyres; cooling flow; air mass flow;

   Abstract : With the technological computer advancements, vehicle development is relying more and more on simulations as an alternative to testing. A similar trend follows in aerodynamic development of vehicles where Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations are increasing in complexity and accuracy. READ MORE

4. 22. Aerodynamic Aspects of Propulsion Integration for Next-generation Commercial Aircraft

   Author : Vinícius Tavares Silva; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Propulsion integration; Ultra-high-bypass-ratio engines; Low-speed testing.; Aerodynamics; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Ultra-short nacelles over-wing nacelle;

   Abstract : Propulsion integration is one of the most challenging aspects of aircraft design. It requires a multidisciplinary approach involving aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, weight, noise, and control systems. READ MORE

5. 23. Aerodynamic Investigation of Truck-Trailer Combinations

   Author : Helena Martini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aerodynamics; vehicle combinations; trucks; drag reduction;

   Abstract : In today’s society, increasing fuel prices and the constantly evolving emission legislation, forces the vehicle industry to develop new techniques for the propul- sion of vehicles, and optimization of existing technology. Trucks constitute a significant proportion of the transportation system, consequently it is of great importance to ensure as low an impact as possible on the environment. READ MORE

6. 24. Aerothermal Experimental Investigation of LPT-OGVs

   Author : Borja Rojo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental; Turbine Rear Structure; Aerodynamics; Wind Tunnel; CFD; Gas Turbine; Engine Exit Structure; Outlet Guide Vane; Heat transfer.; Turbine Exhaust Case; Turbine Rear Frame; Exit Guide Vane;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the design, commissioning, and experimental data of a newly built turbine facility at Chalmers University of Technology for investigating the ow in the engine exit structure (EES). The EES is the structure located downstream of the lowpressure turbine (LPT) in a jet engine. READ MORE

7. 25. Numerical Investigation of the Aerodynamic Vibration Excitation of High-Pressure Turbine Rotors

   Author : Markus Jöcker; KTH; []
   Keywords : Aeroelasticity; Aerodynamics; Stator-Rotor Interaction; Excitation Mechanism; Unsteady Flow Computation; Forced Response; High Cycle Fatigue; Turbomachinery; Gas-Turbine; High-Pressure Turbine; Turbopump; CFD; Design;

   Abstract : The design parameters axial gap and stator count of highpressure turbine stages are evaluated numerically towards theirinfluence on the unsteady aerodynamic excitation of rotorblades. Of particular interest is if and how unsteadyaerodynamic considerations in the design could reduce the riskofhigh cycle fatigue (HCF) failures of the turbine rotor. READ MORE
