1. 1. Test rig for evaluation of protective coating against molten aluminum

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

   Author : Sashank Ghandikota; [2023]
   Keywords : TES; PCM; protective coating; thermal energy storage; TES; PCM; skyddande beläggning; lagring av värmeenergi;

   Abstract : Today, many methods test the lifetime of coatings, but none focus on testing protective coatingsin a non-oxidizing environment. Hence, this master thesis developed a method to test the life-time of a protective coating against molten aluminum. READ MORE

3. 2. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor

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

   Author : Mariana Pires Gonçalves Toco Dias; [2023]
   Keywords : Compressor; rotor; blisk; aeroelasticity; aerodynamic damping; CFD; transient; forced response;

   Abstract : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. READ MORE

4. 3. CFD Analysis of the Flow Around a Paraglider Wing

   University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

   Author : Caterina Gennari; [2023]
   Keywords : Paraglider Wing; CFD; RANS; DES; Aerodynamics; Aerodynamic Hysteresis; FSI; Deformable Structure; Membrane; Shell Elements;

   Abstract : In this study, the characteristics of the flow around a paraglider wing were investigated through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations by solving both Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulations were employed. This allowed the observation of how the unique shape of the canopy of a paraglider can influence the behaviour of the flow and how aerodynamic hysteresis can manifest on this sort of wing. READ MORE

5. 4. CFD Analysis of Engine Room Temperature : CFD Analysis of Engine Room Temperature: Case study The Grange Castle Power Plant Project

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

   Author : William Wanli; [2023]
   Keywords : CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics; ventilation system; temperature; airflow; engine room.;

   Abstract : Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an indispensable tool in various engineering fields, particularly in the design and optimization of HVAC systems in complex environments, such as engine rooms. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of CFD applications and focuses on the engine rooms of the Grange Castle Power Plant in Dublin, Ireland. READ MORE

6. 5. CFD Analyses for Wind Load AssessmentCFD Analyses for Wind Load Assessment : Wind-induced vibrations in the Bomarsunds Bridge hangers

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Fatiha El Azrak; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The trend in recent years of building longer and slender bridge components has introduced new challenges to ensure their stability and strength. This master thesis focuses on the effects of wind-induced vibrations in the context of long, slender arch bridge components, particularly the recently constructed Bomarsunds Bridge in Åland, Finland.
