  1. 11. 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.

  3. 12. Design of Experiment Based on Full Factorial CFD Spray Modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Olle Faritzon; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; spray; liquid; injection; DoE; Design of Experiment; fuel spray; Propane; LPG; OpenFOAM; Experiment; Fluid dynamics; maritime shipping; engine; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Design of experiment is a powerful tool that can reduce the amount of physical testing needed to save resources, time and money. A CFD-setup was constructed in OpenFOAM-8, simulating injection of liquid propane with a standard multi-hole injector. The model was then validated against experimental results. READ MORE

  4. 13. MODELLING OF HEAT TRANSFER OF RAILWAY SWITCH HEATING

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

    Author : Siddharth Suresh Sumathi; [2023]
    Keywords : Conjugate Heat transfer analysis; transient analysis; CFD; insulation; measurement data uncertainties.; Konjugat Värmeöverföringsanalys; transientanalys; CFD; isolering; mätdata osäkerheter.;

    Abstract : Switches and crossings are vital components of the railway network. Obstacles to the smooth functioning of these components could result in delays and network traffic. Given the geographical location of Sweden, snow is one of the major obstacles for the switches. READ MORE

  5. 14. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  6. 15. Simulation of Combustion in a Hybrid Rocket Engine

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Oscar Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Thesis; Hybrid Rocket Engine; CFD; computational fluid dynamics; combustion;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation on the combustion mechanics of a hybrid rocket engine is performed through unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation. The hybrid rocket engine model is based on an experimental laboratory scale engine design operating on GOX and HDPE as a propellant. READ MORE
