  2. 1. Tailoring of Transition Metal Silicides as Protective Thin Films on Austenitic Stainless Steel

    Author : Eric Tam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rockwell-C adhesion test; X-ray diffractrometry XRD ; Pretorius’ effective heat of formation EHF model; Ion-beam sputter deposition IBSD ; Reciprocating sliding wear test; Corrosion; Stainless steels; Thin films; Tribology; Transition metal silicides; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS ; Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements;

    Abstract : The objective of this study is to make use of transition metal silicides in a novel way as protective thin films on engineering metals. It can then be possible to take advantage of the potentially good corrosion resistance of metal silicides while compensating for their brittle nature by the ductile bulk material. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Modelling of fracture toughness using peridynamics : A Study of J-integral, essential work and homogenisation

    Author : Christer Stenström; Pär Jonsén; Kjell Eriksson; Ugo Galvanetto; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Peridynamics; J-integral; Essential work of fracture; Nonlocal methods; Meshless; Meshfree; Fracture; Crack tip; Exact analytical; Center cracked tension; Double edge notched tensile; fracture toughness; Peridynamik; Brottmekanik; Sprickspets; Brottseghet; Spänningsintensitet; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Fracture toughness is one of the most important properties of a material. Being able toaccurately estimate the energy that goes into forming new crack surfaces is essential for the development of new materials, quality assurance, structural monitoring and failure analysis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analytical Aerodynamic Simulation Tools for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Author : Paul Deglaire; Hans Bernhoff; Olov Ågren; Staffan Lundstrom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vertical axis turbine; vortex flows; conformal mapping; analytical aerodynamics; potential flows; fast multipole methods; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science;

    Abstract : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is today the fastest growing solution to reduce CO2 emissions in the electric energy mix. Upwind horizontal axis wind turbine with three blades has been the preferred technical choice for more than two decades. This horizontal axis concept is today widely leading the market. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of Numerical Methods for Accurate and Efficient Scale-Resolving Simulations

    Author : Magnus Carlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High-order gradient reconstruction; Hybrid RANS-LES; Scale-resolving simulation; Synthetic Turbulence; Numerical methods; Turbulence modelling;

    Abstract : Hybrid RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes)-LES (Large-Eddy Simulation) techniques are considered to be sufficiently accurate and computationally affordable for the aeronautical industry. Scale-resolving simulations is a powerful tool that can accurately predict complex unsteady compressible high-Reynolds-number turbulent flows, as often encountered aeronautical applications. READ MORE
