2. 1. Modelling of turbulent gas-particle flow

   Author : Tobias Strömgren; Gustav Amberg; Arne Johansson; Johan Revstedt; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; turbulent gas-particle flows; modelling; turbophoresis; two-way coupling; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : An Eulerian-Eulerian model for dilute gas-particle turbulent flows is developed for engineering applications. The aim is to understand the effect of particles on turbulent flows. The model is implemented in a finite element code which is used to perform numerical simulations. READ MORE

   Author : Christer Bergström; Strömningsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration and acoustic engineering; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; Gas turbine.; Temperature fluctuations. Diesel engine; Counter rotating Vortex Pair; CVP; Large Eddy Simulation; Droplet Evaporation; Turbulent flows; LES; Spray; Modelling; Break-up; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Carbochemistry; petrochemistry; fuels and explosives technology; Petrokemi; bränslen; sprängämnen;

   Abstract : The way the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber is one of the most important parameters for the power output and the generation of emissions in the combustion of liquid fuels. The interaction beween the turbulent gas flow field and the liquid fuel droplets, the vaporisation of them and the mixing of the gaseous fuel with the ambient air that are vital parameters in the combustion process.

6. 4. Application of Parallel Computers to Enhance the Flow Modelling Capability in Aircraft Design

   Author : Mattias Sillén; Dan Loyd; Peter Eliasson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flow modelling; parallel computer; parallel efficiency; turbulence modelling; aircraft design; CFD; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : The development process for new aircraft configurations needs to be more efficient in terms of performance, cost and time to market. The potential to influence these factors is highest in early design phases. Thus, high confidence must be established in the product earlier than today. READ MORE

7. 5. Modelling and simulation of turbulence subject to system rotation

   Author : Olof Grundestam; Arne Johansson; Sharath Girimaji; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Direct numerical simulations; least-squares method; turbulence model; nonlinear modelling; system rotation; streamline curvature; high-lift aerodynamics; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Simulation and modelling of turbulent flows under influence of streamline curvature and system rotation have been considered. Direct numerical simulations have been performed for fully developed rotating turbulent channel flow using a pseudo-spectral code. The rotation numbers considered are larger than unity. READ MORE
