  1. 1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Ziyi Liu; [2024]
    Keywords : Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

    Abstract : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dynamic axel load estimation for an electrified vehicle : Normalkraftestimering på drivaxeln

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Majd Barakat; [2023]
    Keywords : Vehicle dynamics; Suspension systems; Vehicle design; Bounce-Pitch model; Car quarter model; Normal force; Normal force estimation;

    Abstract : The brake system is critical for ensuring safe driving and has been the focus of development for many years. Pneumatic braking technology is commonly used in heavy vehicles,but it results in energy wastage and high service costs. Some countries mandate auxiliarybraking systems to assist in stopping the vehicle in addition to service brakes. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multibody simulations of vibrations in a truck’s steering system

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Marcus Didenbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : Multibody simulation; Vibrations; Stiff differential equations; Equations of motion; Lagrange; Vehicle dynamics; Adams; Flerkroppssimulering; Vibrationer; Styva differentialekvationer; Rörelseekva-tioner; Lagrange; Fordonsdynamik; Adams;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to explore if multibody simulations is a suitable method to investigate vibrations in the steering system of trucks. Vibrations in the steering system and subsequently in the steering wheel is a common issue that automotive manufacturers face. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of HVAC simulations for truck cabins using OpenFOAM

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Junaid Haider; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Conjugate Heat Transfer; chtMultiRegionFoam;

    Abstract : In regions with cold climates, a layer of ice often forms on vehicle windshields, whichobstructs the driver’s view. To address this issue, vehicles are equipped with internal defrosters. However, at Scania, the evaluation of defroster design performancecurrently relies on time-consuming and costly physical testing. READ MORE

  6. 5. When is Electric Freight Cost Competitive? : Computational modeling and simulation of total cost of ownership for electric truck fleets

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling

    Author : Anton Zackrisson; [2023]
    Keywords : electric freight; battery-electric trucks; total cost of ownership; decision making under deep uncertainty DMDU ; cost-competitiveness; exploratory modeling and analysis EMA ; EMA workbench; quasi-Monte Carlo method; VRP; EVRP; elektrifiering; godstransport; elektriska lastbilar; total ägandekostnad; kostnadskonkurrenskraft; ruttoptimering;

    Abstract : Battery electric trucks (BETs) offer environmental benefits in terms of reduced carbon emissions and enhanced energy efficiency but have been challenged with economic viability compared to conventional internal combustion engine trucks (ICETs) caused by substantial acquisition costs, limited charging infrastructure, and concerns regarding range and payload capacity.  Previous studies focus on TCO at the vehicle or policy level but overlook the system and firm-level impacts.
