2. 21. Fluid structure interactiontesting, modelling and development of Passive Adaptive Composite foils

   Author : Laura Marimon Giovannetti; UK University of Southampton; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : High performance foiling catamarans are one of the fastest growing sectors in the sailing and sport industries, allowing athletes to perform in extremely fast and spectacular boats. These boats fly above the water with the aid of foils that not only provide horizontal side-force to counterbalance the aerodynamic forces from the sails, but also deliver vertical force that supports some or all of the mass of the boat.

4. 22. Noise, eigenfrequencies and turbulence behavior of a 200 kW H-rotor vertical axis wind turbine

   Author : Erik Möllerström; Jonny Hylander; Fredric Ottermo; Hans Bernhoff; Göran Sidén; Mats Åbom; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VAWT; H-rotor; eigenfrequency; semi-guy-wired tower; noise emission; sound power level; microphone array; turbulence intensity; power curve; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

   Abstract : Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have with time been outrivaled by the today more common and economically feasible horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs). However, VAWTs have several advantages which still make them interesting, for example, the VAWTs can have the drive train at ground level and it has been argued that they have lower noise emission.

5. 23. Numerical investigation of tonal noise sources from centrifugal fan

   Author : Martin Ottersten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational Aeroacoustics; Tonal Noise; Centrifugal Fan; Blade Passing Frequency;

   Abstract : Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) are today an important part of many people's life. They provide a sufficient amount of airflow with the correct temperature, quality, and humidity. The negative side is the noise it produces. Many improvements have been made in building development to reduce noise from the environment. READ MORE

6. 24. Mechanical braking systems for trains: A study of temperatures, fatigue and wear by experiments and simulations

   Author : Mandeep Singh Walia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tread brakes; experiments; temperatures; disc brakes; wear; Railway braking; simulations; fatigue;

   Abstract : Increased demand for shorter travel times, higher axle loads, increased volumes and increased punctuality of railway traffic calls for a better design and management of the railway subsystems. The present thesis deals with aspects of mechanical friction brakes, in the form of tread brakes and disc brakes. READ MORE

7. 25. Vehicle wakes subject to side wind conditions

   Author : Magnus Urquhart; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drag; surrogate model; cavity; Latin Hypercube Sampling; wake; aerodynamics; real world conditions; Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; wind averaged drag; Radial Basis Functions; side wind; optimization; tapered extensions; cycle averaged;

   Abstract : Passenger vehicles are associated with travel flexibility, today it is clear that this flexibility impacts the environment. Passenger vehicles account for more than one-tenth of all greenhouse gasses in Europe with approximately a quarter of the vehicle's energy consumption wasted as aerodynamic drag. READ MORE
