2. Improving Water Droplet Prediction for Vehicle Exterior Water Management: Insights from Experimental and Simulation Studies
University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesignAbstract : This thesis focuses on the study of water transportation on vehicle surfaces, which is crucial for ensuring the unobstructed operation of sensors and cameras in autonomous vehicles. The research aims to develop and validate experimental and simulation methods to enhance the understanding of water droplet behaviour and to create accurate models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

3. Evaluation of a stochastic model of coherent turbulent structures for atmospheric particle deposition applications
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In this thesis, we have evaluated a stochastic Lagrangian model for computing particle deposition rates with prospects to use for atmospheric deposition applications. The model is one-dimensional and models the particle dynamics in the boundary layers near walls and obstacles by simulating the coherent turbulent structures and Brownian motion governing the wall-normal transport.

4. Experimental and CFD Study of Heat Pickup in Cooling System Hoses
University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk AkustikAbstract : This thesis investigates a process known as heat pickup which occurs in vehicle cooling system hoses. Heat pickup is an unwanted side effect of temperature differences in a car underhood compartment, whereby excess heat is tranferred into the coolant running through the cooling system hoses, affecting its operating temperature.

5. Enabling high-fidelity measurements of turbulent boundary layer flow over wing sections in the MTL wind tunnel.
University essay from KTH/MekanikAbstract : 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).
