  1. 1. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

  3. 2. CFD Optimization of Hydrofoiling Concept for A New Era of Sea Transports

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Anlun Li; [2022]
    Keywords : Optimization; Hydrofoil; FoilCart; Transportation; CFD; Optimering; Hydrofoil; FoilCart; Transport; CFD;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis is to develop and optimize the main wing of a T-shaped hydrofoil for a small passenger vessel called FoilCart. The project is in collaboration with KTH Maritime Robotic Lab. The existing prototype of the hydrofoil is built by a company called ZPARQ\cite{Zparq}, but the efficiency of the main wing is not optimized. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wake analysis for NACA4412 in free-flight condition

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : William Nord Nilsson; Oskar Hedström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to evaluate the differences in the wake of a NACA 4412 airfoil in free-flight condition compared to wind tunnel and also investigate wall-interference. This was done using two sets of angles of attack, 5 degrees and 8 degrees. READ MORE

  5. 4. Rig Performance Evaluation for Wind Powered Pure Car Carrier

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Valérie Aurore Bouysses; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Carrying around 80-90% of world volume of goods, the shipping industry has a considerable environmental impact. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) fixed a 50% greenhouse gases emission reduction target by 2050 with respect to 2008 levels. READ MORE

  6. 5. Enabling high-fidelity measurements of turbulent boundary layer flow over wing sections in the MTL wind tunnel.

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Fermin Mallor; [2019]
    Keywords : Fluid mechanics; aerodynamics; turbulence; RANS; wind-tunnel experiments; insert design; Strömningsmekanik; aerodynamik; turbulens; RANS; vindtunnel experiment; inlaga designen;

    Abstract : A reinforced fiber-glass model of a NACA 4412 wing profile is designed and set-up in the Minimum Turbulence Level (MTL) wind tunnel facility at KTH. The model has 65 pressure taps orifices, and the set-up includes two mounting panels designed to allow for particle image velocimetry (PIV) and hot wire anemometry (HWA) measurements of the boundary layer (to be performed in a future campaign).
