2. 6. A study of flow fields during filling of a sampler

   Author : Zhi Zhang; Pär Jönsson; Dongyuan Sheng; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; physical modeling; flow pattern; vortex; filling; PIV; sampler; simulation; turbulence; Wilcox k-ω model; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

   Abstract : More and more attention has been paid to decreasing the number and size of non-metallic inclusions existing in the final products recently in steel industries. Therefore, more efforts have been made to monitor the inclusions' size distributions during the metallurgy process, especially at the secondary steelmaking period. READ MORE

4. 7. Feathers by day, membranes by night - Aerodynamic performance in bird and bat flight

   Author : Florian Muijres; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; animal flight; aerodynamics; vortex wake; actuator disk; flight performance; span efficiency; bird; bat; wind tunnel; PIV; Pied Flycatcher; Glossophaga soricina; Leptonycteris yerbabuenae;

   Abstract : The efficiency and performance of a flying animal is directly related to the aerodynamics around its body and flapping wings. Here, I have developed methods for quantifying the wake dynamics around a flying animal. The results are used to estimate the aerodynamic performance of flapping flight. READ MORE

5. 8. Laser Based Flow Measurements to Evaluate Hydraulic Conditions for Migrating Fish and Benthic Fauna

   Author : S M Sayeed Bin Asad; Staffan Lundström; J. Gunnar I. Hellström; Anders G. Andersson; Berhanu Mulu Geberkiden; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fish Migration; Step Cylinder; Shedding; Vortex Street; Shear stress; PIV; benthic fauna; river; stones; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Hydropower is one of the main sources for Sweden’s energy, which is clean and renewable. It is a clean energy source because no fuels are burned which does not pollute the air and it is a renewable energy source as it only uses natural water cycle for generating energy. READ MORE

6. 9. Spatial Decompositions of a Fully-developed Turbulent Round Jet Sampled with Particle Image Velocimetry

   Author : Maja Wänström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; proper orthogonal decomposition; axisymmetric turbulent jet; PIV; spatial spectral analysis; equilibrium similarity;

   Abstract : Spatial decompositions of the turbulence in a far, axisymmetric jet at exit Reynolds number of 20, 000 have been performed. Equilibrium similaritytheory applied to the two-point Reynolds stresses has shown that the turbulence statistics in the far, fully developed region of an axisymmetric jet should be independent of origin in the streamwise direction when evaluated on the similarity coordinates system.

7. 10. A Particle Image Velocimetry Study of Bubbly Gas-Liquid Flow

   Author : Xiaoyun Tu; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulent dispersion; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; turbulence; Rushton turbine; stirred tank; slip velocity; bubbly gas liquid two-phase flow; coherent structure; CCD camera; PIV; POD;

   Abstract : The aim of this work is to build a framework that can be used for characterizing the bubbly gas liquid turbulent flow in the stirred bioreactor tank. To this end we have developed and modified techniques with which to measure the velocity of both dispersed gas and carrier liquid phases by the optical measurement technique, a 2-CCD camera Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system; and to characterize the turbulence by the wavelets tool, Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD).
