  1. 1. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Michela Casarella; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal-hydraulics; Nuclear reactor; CFD; Sub-channel; Coarse-grid; Turbulence; Pressure drop; Termisk-hydraulik; kärnreaktor; CFD; underkanal; grovkornigt nät; turbulens; tryckfall;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an innovative coarse grid CFD approach is developed that aims toexploit the capabilities of sub-channel codes and CFD methods while overcoming theirlimitations. In the approach, a very coarse mesh is implemented in the CFD softwareOpenFOAM and a new wall treatment, based on the traditional concept of the wallfunction, is applied to the wall boundary conditions of the domain to take into accountthe low resolution of the grid which does not allow to effectively capture the effect of thesolid walls on the thermo-hydraulics of the flow.

  3. 2. CFD investigation of a unit cell inside a Plate Heat Exchanger

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Mattias Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Plate Heat Exchanger; CFD; Computational Fluid Dynamics; LES; Large Eddy Simulation; Periodic; Unit Cell; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. READ MORE

  4. 3. Validation of a moderate Reynolds number channel in Neko

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Shicheng Dai; [2023]
    Keywords : Neko; CFD; DNS; Turbulence channel flow;

    Abstract : Neko is a portable framework for high-order spectral element flow simulations[1]. Originally from Nek5000, Neko not only inherited its numerical stability and well-performance, but also added the benefits of dynamic memory and support for many current accelerator backends. READ MORE

  5. 4. Convolution- compacted vision transformers for prediction of local wall heat flux at multiple Prandtl numbers in turbulent channel flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Yuning Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : Turbulent flow; Heat transfer; Vision transformer; Convolutional neural network; Machine learning;

    Abstract : Predicting wall heat flux accurately in wall-bounded turbulent flows is critical fora variety of engineering applications, including thermal management systems andenergy-efficient designs. Traditional methods, which rely on expensive numericalsimulations, are hampered by increasing complexity and extremly high computationcost. READ MORE

  6. 5. Geometrical Improvement of Fuel Nozzle Locations in the SGT-750 Gas Turbine : An investigation into fuel-air mixing in main channels 1 & 2

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Aryan Delir; [2022]
    Keywords : gas turbine engines; turbofan; combustion; SGT-750; flashback; hydrogen; natural gas; premixing; fuel-air mixing; computational fluid dynamics; CFD; turbulence modelling; NOx emission; lean premixed mixture;

    Abstract : This study was conducted on SGT-750, which utilizes can type fourth generation DLE burner, developed at Siemens Energy AB, in Finspång, Sweden. The aim of this study is to obtain a flat fuel profile at the outlet of main channel 1 and main channel 2, demonstrating a proper mixing of fuel and air in the main channels leading to reducing local high-temperature points, and thus, reducing thermal NOx emissions.
