  2. 1. Symplectic methods for isospectral flows and 2D ideal hydrodynamics

    Author : Milo Viviani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Symplectic methods; Fluid dynamics; Integrability theory; Euler equations; Lie--Possion systems; Isospectral flows; Geometric integration; Structure preserving algorithms; Hamiltonian systems;

    Abstract : The numerical solution of non-canonical Hamiltonian systems is an active and still growing field of research. At the present time, the biggest challenges concern the realization of structure preserving algorithms for differential equations on infinite dimensional manifolds. READ MORE

  4. 2. Developing Computational Methods for Detailed Assessment of Cavitation on Marine Propellers

    Author : Abolfazl Asnaghi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LES; OpenFOAM; Numerical simulation; Hydrodynamics; Cavitation;

    Abstract : Cavitation often brings negative effects, such as performance degradation, noise, vibration, and material damage, to a marine propulsion systems, but for optimum performance, cavitation is almost inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the understanding of cavitation in order to maximize the performance without encountering severe problems. READ MORE

    Abstract : The thesis concerns simulation techniques for systems of nano- to micro-scaled rigid particles immersed in a viscous fluid, ubiquitous in nature and industry. With negligible fluid inertia, the set of PDEs known as the Stokes equations can be used to model the hydrodynamics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Simulations for Complex Industrial Applications : From Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes towards Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

    Author : Md Lokman Hosain; Rebei Bel Fdhila; Konstantinos Kyprianidis; Erik Dahlquist; Hailong Li; Moncho Gomez Gesteira; Mälardalens högskola; []

    Abstract : Optimal process control can significantly enhance energy efficiency of heating and cooling processes in many industries. Process control systems typically rely on measurements and so called grey or black box models that are based mainly on empirical correlations, in which the transient characteristics and their influence on the control parameters are often ignored.
