  1. 1. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Modeling of a Free Surface Flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mathieu Marmier; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; Free Surface Flow; VOF; STAR-CCM ; Multiphase Simulation; Nuclear Engineering; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This project deals with the CFD modelling of a free surface flow. The aim is to develop and validate a fast and accurate numerical model for stratified two-phase flows. Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is employed. The purpose is to use the developed numerical model for the design of an element within a compact nuclear reactor. READ MORE

  3. 2. Virtual Sensing for Cluster Vacuum Control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Carl Egenäs; Axel Sacilotto; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to develop a virtual sensing model in order to estimate the vacuum level in the milking cluster with data collected further along the milk tube. Measuring the cluster vacuum level is desirable for many applications, such as control and monitoring, but due to the cow's tendency to kick, chew and stomp on anything within reach, placing a sensor in or close to the cluster is both difficult and impractical.

  4. 3. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Michela Casarella; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal-hydraulics; Nuclear reactor; CFD; Sub-channel; Coarse-grid; Turbulence; Pressure drop; Termisk-hydraulik; kärnreaktor; CFD; underkanal; grovkornigt nät; turbulens; tryckfall;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an innovative coarse grid CFD approach is developed that aims toexploit the capabilities of sub-channel codes and CFD methods while overcoming theirlimitations. In the approach, a very coarse mesh is implemented in the CFD softwareOpenFOAM and a new wall treatment, based on the traditional concept of the wallfunction, is applied to the wall boundary conditions of the domain to take into accountthe low resolution of the grid which does not allow to effectively capture the effect of thesolid walls on the thermo-hydraulics of the flow.

  5. 4. Design and investigation of a pulsating heat pipe for electronic cooling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Sulafa Hammad; [2023]
    Keywords : Pulsating heat pipes PHP ; Electronic cooling; two phase flow heat transfer; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to design and investigate a pulsating heat pipe device (PHP). A PHP is a two-phase flow heat transfer device which can handle high heat fluxes with passive internal flow. It is made of a continuous loop serpentine, partially filled with a working fluid that can cool systems, such as electronic devices. READ MORE

  6. 5. Two-phase CFD Modelling and Validation : SH204X Master Thesis Project Report

    University essay from KTH/Kärnenergiteknik

    Author : Richard Härlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Master Thesis; Simulation; Validation; DEBORA; CFD; OpenFOAM; Boiling; Two-phase Thermal-Hydraulics; Fluid Mechanics; Nuclear Power Safety; Examensarbete; Simulering; Validering; DEBORA; CFD; OpenFOAM; Kokning; Tvåfas Termohydraulik; Kärnkraftssäkerhet;

    Abstract : This project deals with two-phase CFD model validation, a subject which is currently under active research due to its complexity. The goal is to create a model that predicts data profiles to an acceptable degree for a wide array of flow conditions. The applications within the nuclear field would mainly be for safety analysis, e.g. READ MORE
