  2. 6. Numerical modeling of deforming bubble transport related to cavitating hydraulic turbines

    Author : Daniel Lörstad; Institutionen för energivetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gases; fluid dynamics; plasmas; Gaser; fluiddynamik; plasma; Energy research; Energiforskning; Direction Averaged Curvature DAC ; Direction Averaged Normal DAN ; Volume of Solid VOS ; Volume of Fluid VOF ; Lagrangian Particle Tracking LPT ; Large Eddy Simulation LES ; bubble; multiphase; turbulent flows; CFD; hydro-turbine;

    Abstract : Cavitation is a problem in many hydroelectric power plants since it can cause adverse effects on performance and damage to nearby solid surfaces. The concerns of this thesis are the numerical aspects of flow simulations in cavitating hydraulic turbines which contain several difficulties: turbulent and complex flows, steady and moving parts of the geometry, bubble transport and cavitation development.

  4. 7. Numerical Simulation of Some Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Phenomena for Gas Turbine Blades and a Transonic Turbine Stage

    Author : Fadil Mumic; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluiddynamik; plasma; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; plasmas; Gaser; fluid dynamics; Gases; transonic; numerical; heat transfer coefficient; shroud surface; squealer blade tip; flat blade tip; leakage flow; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; turbulence modeling;

    Abstract : With the attempts to achieve higher thermal efficiency, turbine blades are exposed to very high temperature gases and may undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue. Thus, in order to develop optimal cooling strategies and reduce the heat transfer it is important to obtain a good understanding of both the complex flow field and the heat transfer characteristics in turbine rotor/stator hot-gas passages.

  5. 8. A Detailed Kinetic Model for Calculation of the Soot Particle Size Distribution Function

    Author : Fikret Saric; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gaser; fluiddynamik; plasma; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; framdrivningssystem; plasmas; fluid dynamics; Gases; Fysik; Physics; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Sectional Method; Method of Moments; Diesel Like Engine Condition; Distribution Function; Detailed Kinetic Soot Model; Soot Particle Size;

    Abstract : The soot particle size distribution was studied via numerical simulation under diesel like engine conditions using a detailed kinetic soot model. Two different mathematical methods of the soot model description have been used in this work. In the first part of the work, the method of moments is presented. READ MORE

  6. 9. On Radiative Heat Transfer Modeling with Relevance for Combustor and Biomass Furnaces

    Author : Mehdi Bahador; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; termodynamik; fluiddynamik; plasma; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; plasmas; Gaser; Thermal Radiation; Scattering; Heat load; Gases; fluid dynamics; Biomass Furnaces; framdrivningssystem; Motorer; Motors and propulsion systems;

    Abstract : Thermal radiation sometimes is the dominating heat transfer mode in combustion chambers and furnaces and therefore in the design of many relevant industrial facilities prediction of it is necessary. During previous years many research efforts in the radiative heat transfer field have originated and many methods and models from simple to complex have been developed. READ MORE
