  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

  2. 2. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  3. 3. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
    Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.

  4. 4. 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.

  5. 5. 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
