  1. 1. Methods and Purposes of Aerodynamic Correlation in Formula Student

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Alix Le Bastard; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates how methods of aerodynamic validation can assist a formula student team in designing their aerodynamic package. When de- signing their aerodynamic components, formula student team mostly rely on CFD software simulations, but there is no guarantee that the simulations de- pict properly the physical behaviour of the airflow around the car.

  3. 2. Thermal and flow field validation of lattice Boltzmann method solver

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : André Skagius-Kallin; [2023]
    Keywords : Lattice Boltzmann method; heat transfer; flow field;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics, abbreviated CFD, is a valuable tool for several engineering applications. Applications such as heating, cooling or drying are some examples of areas where CFD is used. READ MORE

  4. 3. CFD investigation of a unit cell inside a Plate Heat Exchanger

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Plate Heat Exchanger; CFD; Computational Fluid Dynamics; LES; Large Eddy Simulation; Periodic; Unit Cell; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. READ MORE

  5. 4. Aerodynamic Concept Evaluation of Formula Student Side Structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gabriel Ågren; [2023]
    Keywords : Formula Student; KTH Formula Student; race car aerodynamics; CFD; Multi-element wing;

    Abstract : Formula Student is a global engineering competition where university students collaborate to design, construct, and race formula-style cars. Aerodynamics is one aspect in the vehicle design that can improve on-track performance by increasing cornering and straight-line speed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Air Cooling of Lithium Polymer Batteries : Experiments and Calculations on the KTH Formula Student 2022 Race Car Accumulator

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

    Author : William Olsson; Linus Grinde; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lithium batteries work optimally at a temperature of around 15 to 35 °C, with a maximum temperature of around 60 °C. To get the most performance out of a formula student car the cooling needs to keep the battery cells within these temperatures during the competition. READ MORE
