  2. 16. A Study of Turbulent Natural Convection Boundary Layers Using Large-Eddy Simulation

    Author : Darioush Gohari Barhaghi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : natural convection boundary layer; DNS; LES; radiation heat transfer; free convection; cavity; vertical cylinder;

    Abstract : The structure of turbulent natural convection boundary layers in differentgeometries and the effect of the buoyancy on a mixed convection boundarylayer are investigated. These geometries comprise a vertical finitecylinder, a vertical infinite channel, a cavity and a vertical finite channel. READ MORE

  4. 17. Modelling of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer for Building Ventilation

    Author : Peng Shia-Hui; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; large eddy simulation; turbulent buoyant convection; ventilation performance assessment; purging flow rate; SGS modelling; ventilation flow; stochastic Markov chain model; turbulence modelling; LRN k-w model; two-equation models; building ventilation; transfer probability; transition regime; modified SGS buoyancy model; energy backscatter;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to studies on the assessment of building ventilation performance and the development of turbulence models accounting for Low-Reynolds-number (LRN) effects and buoyant convection with heat transfer. Assessments of building ventilation performance are discussed with respect to indoor air distribution and passive contaminant dispersion. READ MORE

  5. 18. Estimating the Air-Water Gas Transfer Velocity during Low Wind Conditions

    Author : Sam Fredriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Air.sea gas exchange; Turbulence; Heat flux; Natural convection; Shear; Direct numerical simulations; Gas transfer velocity; IR; Flux-chambers;

    Abstract : The abundances of atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, and methane, CH4, are increasing. These increases affect e.g., the global carbon cycle and the climate both regionally and globally. READ MORE

  6. 19. Computational Analysis of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow with Relevance for IC-Engine Cooling

    Author : Sassan Etemad; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Termisk teknik; termodynamik; turbulence models; Heat transfer; curved duct; secondary flow; IC-engine cooling; Gases; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Teknik; Technological sciences; plasma; Gaser; fluiddynamik; plasmas; fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : Modern IC-engines produce more power per displaced volume and operate at higher combustion pressures and temperatures. In addition, engine structure materials such as aluminium and magnesium alloys, which are more sensitive to thermal loads, are more commonly used. READ MORE

  7. 20. A study of heat transfer from cylinders in turbulent flows by using thermochromic liquid crystals

    Author : Roland Wiberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : Fluid mechanics; convection heat transfer;

    Abstract : In gas quenching, metal parts are rapidly cooled from hightemperatures, and the convection heat transfer coefficientdistributions are of importance for the hardness and thedistortion (the shape nonuniformities) of the quenched parts.Thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC) and a thin foil techniques,were investi- gated and used for studies of a circular cylinderin axial flows, affected and not affected by upstream owmodifying inserts.
