  1. 1. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulation Model for Forestry Ground and Vegetation Damage

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Elias Hökfors; [2021]
    Keywords : Forest ground; forest machines; soils; soil mechanics; simulators; Unreal Engine; AGX Terrain;

    Abstract : Training simulators are valuable tools in education of forest machine operators. One important part of the education is to learn about damages occurring due to the forest machines and how they can be avoided. Two types of damages are especially severe, soil compaction and formation of wheel ruts. READ MORE

  4. 3. Improvements of ground anchors for Better Shelter

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Joel Olsson; Richard Härlin; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report is part of a bachelor’s degree project in solid mechanics at KTH, Stockholm. It is performed by two students on behalf of the social enterprise Better Shelter, which provides shelters for people displaced by war and natural disasters. READ MORE

  5. 4. CPTu Configuration Impact on Evaluated Undrained Shear Strength

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Mårten Mjöberg; Axel Stenfors; [2020]
    Keywords : Cone Penetration Testing; Fields trials; Soil mechanics; Evaluated undrained shear strength.;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the commonly used geotechnical probing method CPTu, on how different probe configurations impact the resulting evaluated undrained shear strength in soft clay deposits, in comparison to each other and laboratory methods. This is done by performing field investigations on Lindefältet, Södermanlands län, Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Coarse-Graining Fields in Particle-Based Soil Models

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Björn Ahlman; [2020]
    Keywords : Soil mechanics; Soil compaction; Continuum mechanics; Discrete Element Method; Coarse graining; Computational physics;

    Abstract : In soil, where trees and crops grow, heavy vehicles shear and compact the soil, leading to reduced plant growth and diminished nutrient recycling. Computer simulations offer the possibility to improve the understanding of these undesired phenomena. READ MORE
