  2. 1. Modelling and simulation of turbulence subject to system rotation

    Author : Olof Grundestam; Arne Johansson; Sharath Girimaji; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Direct numerical simulations; least-squares method; turbulence model; nonlinear modelling; system rotation; streamline curvature; high-lift aerodynamics; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Abstract : Simulation and modelling of turbulent flows under influence of streamline curvature and system rotation have been considered. Direct numerical simulations have been performed for fully developed rotating turbulent channel flow using a pseudo-spectral code. The rotation numbers considered are larger than unity. READ MORE

  4. 2. From irrotational flows to turbulent dynamos

    Author : Fabio Del Sordo; Axel Brandenburg; Mordecai-Mark Mac Low; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astrophysics; magnetic fields; insterstellar medium; MHD; dynamo; turbulence; instability; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Many of the celestial bodies we know are found to be magnetized:the Earth, many of the planets so far discovered, the Sun and other stars,the interstellar space, the Milky Way and other galaxies.The reason for that is still to be fully understood, and this work is meant to be a step in that direction.

  6. 4. Modelling of stably-stratified, convective and transitional atmospheric boundary layers using the explicit algebraic Reynolds-stress model

    Author : Velibor Zeli; Gert Brethouwer; Arne V. Johansson; Stefan Wallin; Bert Holtslag; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atmospheric turbulence; convective atmosphere; Reynolds-stress model; stably-stratified atmosphere; transitional atmosphere; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is in continuous turbulent motion. The heating and cooling of the Earth’s surface drives mechanic and thermodynamic processes in the ABL through enhancing and damping of atmospheric turbulence. The surface forcing has a profound effect on the diurnal cycle of temperature,wind and related variables in the ABL. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer for Building Ventilation

    Author : Peng Shia-Hui; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; large eddy simulation; turbulent buoyant convection; ventilation performance assessment; purging flow rate; SGS modelling; ventilation flow; stochastic Markov chain model; turbulence modelling; LRN k-w model; two-equation models; building ventilation; transfer probability; transition regime; modified SGS buoyancy model; energy backscatter;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to studies on the assessment of building ventilation performance and the development of turbulence models accounting for Low-Reynolds-number (LRN) effects and buoyant convection with heat transfer. Assessments of building ventilation performance are discussed with respect to indoor air distribution and passive contaminant dispersion. READ MORE
