2. 1. Turbine Outlet Guide Vane Flows

   Author : Johan Hjärne; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Spalart-Allmaras model; k-ω SST model; linear cascade; secondary flows; turbine exhaust casing; RSM; k-ε realizable model; turbine rear frame; engine mount bump; tail bearing housing; Outlet guide vane;

   Abstract : New design goals on modern jet engines often leads to more highly loaded turbines with fewer stages in order to save weight and cost. This gives higher swirl angles into the outlet guide vane (OGV), implying a more difficult aerodynamic design. READ MORE

4. 2. Numerical studies on flows with secondary motion

   Author : Jacopo Canton; Philipp Schlatter; David Moxey; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear dynamical systems; instability; bifurcation; flow control; skin-friction reduction; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : This work is concerned with the study of flow stability and turbulence control - two old but still open problems of fluid mechanics. The topics are distinct and are (currently) approached from different directions and with different strategies. READ MORE

5. 3. Optimisation and control of shear flows

   Author : Antonios Monokrousos; Dan S. Henningson; Laurette Tuckerman; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shear flows; flow control; optimal disturbances; Lagrange method; transition to turbulence; non-linear dynamics; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Transition to turbulence and flow control are studied by means of numerical simulations for different simple shear flows. Linear and non-linear optimisation methods using the Lagrange multiplier technique are employed. READ MORE

6. 4. Secondary currents in groundwater

   Author : Maria Engström; Bo Nordell; Anders Sellgren; Clifford Voss; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Groundwater; Vattenteknik; Water Resources Engineering;

   Abstract : The thesis concerns the small vertical water movements created by thermal convection and the Coriolis force acting on groundwater flows. These small flows are of importance to vertical transports of temperature, nutrients and contaminants that would not be spread in the way they are. READ MORE

7. 5. Numerical Investigation of Turbulent Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Complex Ducts

   Author : Masoud Rokni; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SED; WET; GGDH; RNG; RSM; EASM; Low-Reynolds; Non-linear k-e; Heat transfer; Turbulent; Complex ducts; Secondary flows; Temperature invariance; Energy research; Energiforskning;

   Abstract : Th need for a reliable and reasonable accurate turbulence model without specific convergence problem for calculating duct flows in industrial applications has become more evident. In this study a general computational method has been developed for calculating turbulent quantities in any arbitrary three dimensional duct. READ MORE
