  1. 1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Ziyi Liu; [2024]
    Keywords : Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

    Abstract : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. READ MORE

  3. 2. Case Data Analysis Tool for PowerFLOW

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Guillermo Díaz Vázquez; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is exponentially growing in terms of performance, robustness, and applications. The expansion of CFD also means more users and more simulations, which translates into more human errors and mistakes in the simulation set up. READ MORE

  4. 3. Scoop optimization : A preliminary study

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Bixente Artola; [2019]
    Keywords : Master thesis; Scoop; Optimization; Fluent; PowerFLOW;

    Abstract : Scoops are important parts in an aircraft engine design, as they provide airflowto different equipment and subsystems. The optimization of such a component isessential in order to find a design that can perform properly within a range of flightconditions, with a minimum impair of main flow aerodynamic performances.

  5. 4. Simulation of thermal tests in the climatic wind tunnel CD7 at Scania Master thesis project in fluid mechanics

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Jonathan de Laval; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish truck and bus manufacturer Scania has a number of test facilities to support the R&D department and for verification of vehicle properties. The latest addition is the climatic wind tunnel Chassis Dynamometer 7 (CD7) which can fit trucks and buses for full scale testing and maintain temperatures in the range from -35 to 50 degree Celsius in the flow circuit, furthermore it can generate both rain and snow conditions.

  6. 5. A CFD Study Of The Aerodynamic Eects OfPlatooning Trucks

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : David Norrby; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the present work the aerodynamic forces on trucks driving in so-called platoon are investigated in a numerical fashion. Driving in platoon, or convoy, refers to in an orderly manner driving in a line, one truck after the other, taking advantage of the unrecovered _ow behind each truck. The phenomenon is called slipstreaming or drafting. READ MORE
