  2. 1. Noise emissions from sustainable transport : A multi-scale modeling approach

    Author : Johan Nygren; Susann Boij; Romain Rumpler; Ciarán J. O'Reilly; Eoin King; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traffic simulation; sustainable transport; environmental noise; vehicle acoustics; energy efficiency; Trafiksimulering; hållbar transport; samhällsbuller; fordonsakustik; energieffektivitet; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Abstract : Noise emissions from transportation remain one of the greatest environmental issues of modern day. Inhabitants in urban environments are especially exposed, with almost 80 million people in the European Union exposed to noise levels exceeding the recommended limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO).

  4. 2. A study of hydroelastic fluid-structure interaction with application to immersed cantilevers

    Author : Johan Lorentzon; Strömningsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Partitioned Fluid-Structure; Blocked Gauss-Seidel; Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov methods; Incompressible fluid; Finite Strain; Total Lagrangian; Arbitrary Lagrange Euler method; Vector acceleration;

    Abstract : This study presents an approach for partitioned fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applied to large structural deformations, where an incompressible turbulent solver is combined with a structural solver. The implementation is based upon two different open-source libraries by using MPI as a parallel communication protocol, the packages deal. READ MORE

  5. 3. Particle transport in human lung : effects of particle size and shape

    Author : Sofie Högberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Recent studies have shown that nanoparticles may be more toxic than larger particles of the same material, but the health risks associated with widespread use largely depend on the extent of exposure. When dealing with potentially toxic particles, precautionary measures have to be taken in order to minimize contact. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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.
