  2. 16. Analysis of the Unsteady Flow Field of a Passenger Vehicle

    Author : Lennert Sterken; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind tunnel; Wake; CFD; Pressure measurements; Extensions; Yaw response; External aerodynamics; Aerodynamic forces;

    Abstract : Political legislation and consumer requirements for a sustainable society require that vehicle manufacturers focus on reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. Areduction in the overall energy consumption can be directly linked to a decrease of the driving resistance, where the aerodynamic drag significantly contributes at velocities above 70km/h.

  4. 17. Active Flow Control for Drag Reduction of Heavy Vehicles

    Author : Mohammad El-Alti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active and Passive Flow Control; Tilt-rotor wing; Large-eddySimulation; Heavy vehicles; optimization; Full-scale road test; Trucks; Bluff-body; Wake; Drag reduction; Aircrafts; Response surface methodology; Synthetic-jet Actuator;

    Abstract : This thesis considers the aerodynamics of trucks. The work focuses on the aerodynamic drag caused by the wake. Bluff-body flows are dominated by large dissipative vortex-shedding wakes with a low mean pressure compared to the high pressure on their frontal area. READ MORE

  5. 18. Resource characterization and variability studies for marine current power

    Author : Nicole Carpman; Karin Thomas; Mats Leijon; Sandra Eriksson; AbuBakr S. Bahaj; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Marine current energy; tidal currents; wake; variability; renewable energy; ADCP; flow measurement; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Producing electricity from marine renewable resources is a research area that develops continuously. The field of tidal energy is on the edge to progress from the prototype stage to the commercial stage. READ MORE

  6. 19. Towards Accurate Numerical Methods for Ship Flows on Composite Overlapping Grids

    Author : Lars Carlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; boundary layer; wake; incompressible flow; Navier-Stokes; composite overlapping grids; grid generation; ship flow; parallel computing; alternating-direction implicit; line-implicit;

    Abstract : Numerical methods are presented that are designed to make accurate ship-flow computations more feasible. One method concerns the automatic generation of high-quality computational grids. It treats the grids as competing individuals in a population, where an individual's fitness is based on a measure of grid quality. READ MORE

  7. 20. Marine Current Energy Conversion

    Author : Staffan Lundin; Mats Leijon; AbuBakr S. Bahaj; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; marine current energy; renewable energy; turbine; energy conversion; wake; Söderfors; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Marine currents, i.e. water currents in oceans and rivers, constitute a large renewable energy resource. This thesis presents research done on the subject of marine current energy conversion in a broad sense. READ MORE
