  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. Impact of solar-mounted truck on the grid

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Gayathri Radhakrishnan Nair; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sweden has a climatic goal to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 2045. One of the major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions is the transportation sector, out of which the major share lies in the heavy freight sector. READ MORE

  4. 3. Data Driven Modeling for Aerodynamic Coefficients

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Erik Jonsäll; Emma Mattsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Master s thesis; System identification; Parameter estimation; Ordinary least squares; Machine learning; Aerodynamic coefficients; F18--HARV; Flight simulations.; Masteruppsats; Systemidentifiering; Parameteruppskattning; Minstakvadratmetoden; Maskininlärning; Aerodynamiska koefficienter; F18-HARV; Flygsimuleringar.;

    Abstract : Accurately modeling aerodynamic forces and moments are crucial for understanding thebehavior of an aircraft when performing various maneuvers at different flight conditions.However, this task is challenging due to complex nonlinear dependencies on manydifferent parameters. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Vatsalkumar Manavar; [2023]
    Keywords : Savonius wind turbine; Computational fluid dynamics; Vertical axis wind turbine; Overlap ratio; Distance between blades; Power coefficient;

    Abstract : 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.

  6. 5. Statistical Analysis on Aerodynamics of Passenger Vehicles

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Sannolikhetsteori och kombinatorik

    Author : Dingkang Peng; [2023]
    Keywords : statistics; aerodynamics; automotive engineering; causality; time series; cluster analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to use statistical methods to analyze wind tunnel data generated in automotive aerodynamics testing to understand the properties of aerodynamic force and pressure in a vehicle's working environment. The data used for analysis are visualized, clustered and finally analyzed for Granger causality to see whether a causal link exists between different variables. READ MORE
