  1. 1. Solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in 3-D to model gas flow in a room

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Fredrik Malmström; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The thesis proposes to model the flow of gases in a room by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions. The transportationof scalars such as temperature and concentration of CO2 is modeled by solving the advection-diffusion equation, and the effects of temperature on thevelocity is accounted for by employing the Boussinesq approximation.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Construction and Evaluation of a Numerical Model for Heat Transfer in a Ladle During Pre-heating : A Finite Volume Approach to the Diffusion Equation using Julia

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Abstract : Heat transfer is key to understanding many processes in engineering. At a steel mill heat transfer is absolutely crucial to understanding most of the processes. One such a process is the pre-heating of a freshly relined ladle. READ MORE

  5. 4. Solving Korteweg-de Vries equations with Discontinuous Galerkin methods

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Markus Hellberg Mediaa; [2023]
    Keywords : Discontinuous Galerkin; Korteweg-de Vries; Conservation Laws; Partial Differential Equations; Numerical methods; Higher order spatial derivative; Heat Equation; Burgers’ Equation; Collocation; Lobatto Gauss Legendre; Stiffness; Nodal Approximation; Finite Volume; Finite Element;

    Abstract : In this thesis the Discontinuous Galerkin approximation performance applied to the Korteweg–de Vries equation is investigated. This equation is nonlinear with a third spatial derivative and can be used for shallow water movement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fitting the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to lattice data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hector Tiblom; [2021]
    Keywords : chiral perturbation theory; lattice QCD; pion mass; kaon mass; decay constant; low-energy QCD; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We use lattice QCD data to perform a fit of the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in three-flavor Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). To improve our fits, we make use of finite volume corrections at both one- and two-loop order. This turns out to provide a small but noticeable improvement of our fits. READ MORE
