2. 21. Nonlinear dynamics in transitional wall-bounded flows

   Author : Miguel Beneitez Galan; Dan S. Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Yohann Duguet; Tobias Schneider; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on numerical studies of subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows. The thesis employs a framework based on nonlinear dynamics in the subsequent studies. The geometrical approach to subcritical transition pivots the concepts of edge manifold and edge state. READ MORE

4. 22. Approaching a practice for transient CFD simulations of vortex flow meters

   Author : Olof Penttinen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laser doppler velocimetry; vortex flow meter model; synthetic inlet boundary condition; circular cylinder in cross-flow; large-eddy simulations;

   Abstract : The usage of Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) in industrial applications makes it possibleto study transient phenomena. The aim of this work is to find a reliable and accurateapproach to transient studies of the internal flow field in a vortex flow meter. READ MORE

5. 23. Development of Separation Phenomena on a Passenger Car

   Author : Sabine Bonitz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; complex flows; vortex formation; vehicle aerodynamics; flow separation; limiting streamlines; crossflow separation;

   Abstract : The general shape of a vehicle influences its aerodynamic performance through separation phenomena and flow structure development. Since these flow characteristics have a direct influence on the energy efficiency, safety and comfort, it is essential to study their formation and evolution into the freestream. READ MORE

6. 24. Effects of free-stream turbulence and three-dimensional roughness on boundary layer transition

   Author : Santhosh Babu Mamidala; Jens H. M. Fransson; Bengt E. G. Fallenius; Jonathan Morrison; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; boundary-layer transition; intermittency; free-stream turbulence; electret microphones; isolated roughness; sinuous instability; varicose instability; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : External disturbances such as free-stream turbulence (FST), and isolated three-dimensional roughness are strong disturbance sources to the laminar boundary layers (BLs), which can lead to a rapid transition to turbulence. The transition process eventuates to increase in skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer rate and hence, both of the aforementioned disturbance sources have practical importance. READ MORE

7. 25. Turbulence-resolving simulations for engineering applications

   Author : Bastian Nebenführ; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LES; Aeroacoustics; Forest canopy; Airframe noise; hybrid RANS LES; Turbulence-resolving simulation; Wind-turbine fatigue loads; Wind power;

   Abstract : Most fluid flows of industrial interest are turbulent and their accurate representation may be of vital importance for the design process of new products. To date, steady RANS methods are usually employed for the simulation of turbulent flows of everyday engineering problems. READ MORE
