  1. 6. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Modeling of a Free Surface Flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mathieu Marmier; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; Free Surface Flow; VOF; STAR-CCM ; Multiphase Simulation; Nuclear Engineering; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This project deals with the CFD modelling of a free surface flow. The aim is to develop and validate a fast and accurate numerical model for stratified two-phase flows. Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is employed. The purpose is to use the developed numerical model for the design of an element within a compact nuclear reactor. READ MORE

  3. 7. 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

  4. 8. CFD-modeling of labyrinth weir flood discharge with ice cover

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Erik Isberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A labyrinth weir is a hydraulic structure built with a purpose to increase the discharge capacity compared to linear weirs, while maintaining the same water level upstream. Construction of labyrinth weirs is vital in a future with more unpredictable flows. READ MORE

  5. 9. 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.

  6. 10. Experiments and simulations of gas flow through a NiCd battery

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

    Author : Sarah Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : NiCd; battery; porous medium; experiment; CFD; NiCd; batteri; poröst medium; experiment; CFD;

    Abstract : This report describes the thesis work carried out regarding experiments and simulations of the gas flow through a NiCd battery. The objective of the work was to investigate how different geometries of the flip top vent on the battery and the level of porosity of the flame arresting disc impacted the amount of potassium carbonate created at the outlet of the vent.
