    Keywords : Wind Tunnel Experiment; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Aerodynamic Forces; Drag Reduction; Shape Optimization; Flow around Cylinders; Yacht Racing;

    Abstract : It is important to understand the aerodynamic properties of tensioned cables (e.g. used in suspension bridges and yacht riggings), both for drag reduction and vibrational suppression purposes. READ MORE

  3. 2. LES Modelling of Turbulent Flow Through an Array of Cylinders Using OpenFOAM

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

    Author : Hanna Isaksson; [2019]
    Keywords : Porous media; OpenFOAM; premeability; LES; packed cylinders; turbulence;

    Abstract : The objective for this master thesis project was to perform simulations for high and low Reynolds number for a porousmedia modelled as quadratic packed cylinders. The simulations were to be performed by using the open source codeOpenFOAM and the turbulence should be modelled by the LES turbulence model in order to resolve details about theturbulence.

  4. 3. Modeling and Optimization of Energy Utilization of Air Ventilation System of an Auditorium

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem

    Author : Kappina Kasturige Kamani Sylva; [2016]
    Keywords : Hybrid Ventilation; CFD modeling; Auditorium;

    Abstract : Maintaining IAQ (Internal Air Quality) and thermal comfort of occupants in buildings have been a challenge to overcome satisfying the two ends: criteria for sustainability and cost effectiveness. Although there was a movement for mechanical ventilation systems in the recent past, in addition to the cost involved, they are found to not deliver the desired air quality, lead to social consequences such as sick building syndrome, contribute to environmental consequences related to ozone-depleting substances with increasing energy consumption, generate noise and having difficulties in cleaning and maintaining.
