  2. 1. Drag Reduction by means of Active Flow Control Applied on a Generic Truck A-pillar: a Numerical and Experimental Study

    Author : Guglielmo Minelli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PANS; Large Eddy Simulation; Wind Tunnel.; Bluff Body Flow; Modal Decomposition; Experiments; Vehicle Aerodynamic; POD; Active Flow Control; LES; Partially Averaged Navier Stokes; AFC;

    Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis is to isolate and control the flow mechanism characterizing the flow separation occurring at the A-pillar of a truck. The study aims to gain knowledge of the flow physics of the separation mechanism, and to eventually suppress the afore mentioned separation by means of an Active Flow Control. READ MORE

  4. 2. Experimental Study on Truck Related Power Losses: The Churning Losses in a Transmission Model and Active Flow Control at an A-pillar of Generic Truck Cabin Model

    Author : Erwin Adi Hartono; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hot wire anemometry; Machine learning; Computational Fluid Dynamics; A-Pillar; Transmission; Flow separation; Churning losses; CFD; Gearbox; Torque measurement; Particle Image Velocimetry; Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics.; Active Flow Control; SPH; Curve fit; Synthetic Jets; Load independent power losses; Aeration; Flow visu- alization;

    Abstract : The fight with global warming constantly forces vehicle manufacturers to innovate, in order to be able to reduce the CO2 emissions of their product. This means that marginal efficiency gains in every component are considered beneficial for total reduction of CO2 emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Global stability and feedback control of boundary layer flows

    Author : Espen Åkervik; Dan S. Henningson; Luca Brandt; Dwight Barkley; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stability; Global Stability; Feedback Control; Control; Estimation; Absolute Convective Instabilities; Model Reduction; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : In this thesis the stability of generic boundary layer flows is studied from a global viewpoint using optimization methods. Global eigenmodes of the incompressible linearized Navier-Stokes equations are computed using the Krylov subspace Arnoldi method. READ MORE

  6. 4. Marine Propulsion System Performance Beyond the Propulsive Factors

    Author : Jennie Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; RANS; Energy balance analysis; Propulsor-hull interaction;

    Abstract : The marine propulsion system often operates in the wake of the ship it is mounted on. This implies that the propulsion system affects the flow around the hull, and the inflow to the propulsion system is dependent on the hull shape. READ MORE

  7. 5. Implementation of a flexible fiber model in a general purpose CFD code

    Author : Jelena Andric; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LPT; OpenFOAM; CFD; flexible fiber;

    Abstract : This work is related to the process of making pulp mats for use in hygienicproducts. One part of that process is the transportation of flexiblecellulose fibers suspended in flowing air. The fibers should be evenlydistributed on the substrate, and it is thus of high importance to avoidthe formation of fiber flocks during the transportation. READ MORE
