  1. 1. Numerical analysis of aerodynamic damping in a transonic compressor

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

    Author : Vincenzo Stasolla; [2019]
    Keywords : transonic compressor; flutter; vibration; CFD; transonic kompressor; fladder; vibration; CFD;

    Abstract : Aeromechanics is one of the main limitations for more efficient, lighter, cheaper and reliable turbomachines, such as steam or gas turbines, as well as compressors and fans. In fact, aircraft engines designed in the last few years feature more slender, thinner and more highly loaded blades, but this trend gives rise to increased sensitivity for vibrations induced by the fluid and result in increasing challenges regarding structural integrity of the engine.

  2. 2. Development of the QFEM Solver : The Development of Modal Analysis Code for Wind Turbine Blades in QBLADE

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Matthew Lennie; [2013]
    Keywords : Wind Energy; Mode Shapes; Aeroelasticity; Aeromechanics; QBlade; Wind Turbine Blades; FAST;

    Abstract : The Wind Turbine industry continues to drive towards high market penetrationand profitability. In order to keep Wind Turbines in field for as long as possiblecomputational analysis tools are required. The open source tool QBlade[38] softwarewas extended to now contain routines to analyse the structural properties of WindTurbine blades. READ MORE

  3. 3. Parametric Study on the Aeroelastic Stability of Rotor Seals

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Qingyuan Zhuang; [2012]
    Keywords : Aeromechanics; turbomachinery; labyrinth seal; flutter; CFD; FEM;

    Abstract : Labyrinth seals are widely used in rotating machinery and have been shown to experience aeroelastic instabilities. The rapid development of computational fluid dynamics now provides a high fidelity approach for predicting the aeroelastic behavior of labyrinth seals in three dimension and exhibits great potential within industrial application, especially during the detailed design stages.
