2. 1. Integrated Duct Aerodynamics

   Author : Elias Siggeirsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; DDES; RANS; CFD; Compressor duct; Spalart-Allmaras;

   Abstract : Air traffic is rapidly increasing, with no sign of slowing down, resulting in increased green-house gases emission. With emission criteria becoming stricter every year, the aircraft design is subjected to continuous improvements. The development of more efficient aircraft engines plays a central role in the strive towards lower emission levels. READ MORE

4. 2. Studies of flow duct acoustics with applications to turbocharged engines

   Author : Hans Rämmal; Hans Boden; Mats Åbom; Antonio Torregrosa; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; IC-engine; turbocharger; duct termination; flow duct; exhaust system; inlet system; acoustic source; one-port; two-port; source model; transmission loss; two-port matrix; reflection coefficient; source strength; multi-load method; Acoustics; Akustik;

   Abstract : A number of experimental and theoretical studies, performed in the field of technical flow duct acoustics are presented in this thesis. The acoustical methods treated are implemented on turbocharged IC-engines and engine gas exchange system components. A new method based on the well-known two-load technique has been developed.

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vortex generator; vortex generator model; flow control; design and optimization; DOE; CFD; UAV; inlet; S-duct; pressure distortion; pressure recovery; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : This dissertation deals with the development of the vortex generator model and its use for the optimization study of vortex generator flow control in high-offset-ed inlets. In the first part, the overview of use of vortex generators and their mechanism is outlined. READ MORE

6. 4. Acoustic Characterization of Turbochargers and Pipe Terminations

   Author : Heiki Tiikoja; Mats Åbom; Francisco Denia; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustical two-port; turbocharger; transmission loss; sound generation; compressor; turbine; IC-engine; inlet system; exhaust system; flow duct; duct termination; reflection coefficient;

   Abstract : In search for quieter engines there is a need for a better understanding of the acoustic properties of engine intake and exhaust system components. Besides mufflers which have the purpose of reducing pressure pulses originating from the internal combustion (IC) engine, there are many components in a modern car exhaust and intake system, e.g. READ MORE

7. 5. Perspectives of Aerodynamic Drag and Cooling Airflow for Heavy-Duty Trucks - Reconsidering European Total Length Legislation

   Author : Helena Martini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cooling airflow; CFD; under-hood design; soft nose; truck-trailer combinations; inlet duct; outlet duct; aerodynamic drag;

   Abstract : Increasing fuel prices and constantly lowered emission legislation forces the vehicle industry to develop new methods for propelling vehicles and to optimize existing technology. Trucks constitute a significant proportion of the transportation system; consequently it is of great importance to ensure as low an impact as possible on the environment. READ MORE
