1. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM
University essay from KTH/MaskinkonstruktionAbstract : Hyperelasticity is a significant property of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. A common application is the use of seals to prevent fluid transfer (liquid or gas) between solid regions. Volvo CE is often depending on external supplier when developing seals. READ MORE

3. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

5. Modeling for characterization of continuous casting simulator using CFD
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : In order to improve the continuous casting process of steel, it’s important to have an understanding of the fuid mechanics of the casting process. As experiments on a real caster are usually impractical, both physical and numerical modeling are important for creating this understanding. READ MORE
