  1. 1. 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. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Modeling for characterization of continuous casting simulator using CFD

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

    Author : Filip Reineholm-Hult; [2023]
    Keywords : Continuous casting; CFD; computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : In order to improve the continuous casting process of steel, it’s important to have an understanding of the fuid mechanics of the casting process. As experiments on a real caster are usually impractical, both physical and numerical modeling are important for creating this understanding. READ MORE

  6. 5. Computational Fluid Dynamics of the flow in a diffuser : - like geometry

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Rasmus Johansson Oskarsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fluid mechanics; Flow simulation; RANS; Flow separation; Diffuser;

    Abstract : Simulations were performed to investigate flow separation of an asymmetricdiffuser - like geometry. The geometry used for the simulations was modeledafter an experimental setup with recorded flow data, which was compared tothe simulated data. For all simulations, steady state flow at the inlet was usedwith the assumption of a 2D flow. READ MORE
