  1. 1. Method development for the use of Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations for vehicle soiling analysis

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Josep Plana Riu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing amount of sensors is being placed in cars in order to monitor their vicinities, which performance is highly dependant on the driving conditions, in which weather has a big role, and thus water contamination is a topic that will increase its importance in the future of the car industry. One of these sources of contamination is self-soiling: how cars get dirty because of their own tires. READ MORE

  4. 3. CFD-Method for 3D Aerodynamic Adjoint Simulations : For External Automotive Aerodynamics

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Marcus Lång; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Today’s rules and regulations regarding emissions from combustion vehicles are very strict and the travel range per tank and/or charge, especially for electric vehicles, is a crucial factor which will always be considered by the customers. Hence, automotive manufacturers strive to boost fuel and battery economy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transonic Flutter for aGeneric Fighter Configuration

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Axel Bååthe; [2018]
    Keywords : Flutter; Aeroelasticity; Transonic; Unsteady Aerodynamics; Doublet-Lattice Method; Full-Potential Equation; PK-Method;

    Abstract : A hazardous and not fully understood aeroelastic phenomenon is the transonic dip,the decrease in flutter dynamic pressure that occurs for most aircraft configurationsin transonic flows. The difficulty of predicting this phenomenon forces aircraft manufacturersto run long and costly flight test campaigns to demonstrate flutter-free behaviourof their aircraft at transonic Mach numbers.
