2. 6. Active Flow Control for Reducing Drag on Trucks: from Concept to Full Scale Testing

   Author : Guglielmo Minelli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AFC; Experiments; Vehicle Aerodynamics; Partially-Averaged Navier-Stokes; PANS; LES; Wind Tunnel; POD; Active Flow Control; Large Eddy Simulations; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; PIV;

   Abstract : There is no doubt that road vehicle transportation is needed to improve efficiency, to reduce power consumption and to contribute to a sustainable mobility. Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in this, and its optimization can have a significant impact on fuel efficiency. READ MORE

4. 7. Aspects of Efficient Parameter Estimation for Diesel Oxidation Catalysts

   Author : Björn Lundberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MVDA; Mass Transport Modeling; Engine Test Bench; Design of Experiments; Kinetic modeling; DOC; Full Scale; Parameter Estimation; Exhaust Aftertreatment Modeling;

   Abstract : In this thesis the objective was to tune the model parameters of diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) to measurement data from engine rig experiments in an efficient manner. The scope was however not limited to the algorithm of parameter search alone but instead included the whole process starting with the design of experiments. READ MORE

5. 8. Energy from Ocean Waves : Full Scale Experimental Verification of a Wave Energy Converter

   Author : Rafael Waters; Mats Leijon; Jan Sundberg; Jonny Hylander; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave power; wave energy converter; sea trials; ocean energy; linear generator; point absorber; search coil; wave climate; utilization; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : A wave energy converter has been constructed and its function and operational characteristics have been thoroughly investigated and published. The wave energy converter was installed in March of 2006 approximately two kilometers off the Swedish west coast in the proximity of the town Lysekil. READ MORE

6. 9. Numerical experiments - a research method in fire science

   Author : Nils Johansson; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; experimental uncertainty; accuracy; fire dynamics; compartment fires; models; experiments; Numerical experiments;

   Abstract : Fires are complex and it is hard to derive relationships from theory in fire science. Full-scale and small-scale experiments have been used with great success in order to increase the understanding of fire chemistry and fire dynamics. But, there are shortcomings and difficulties with conducting these traditional fire experiments. READ MORE
