  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. Impact of solar-mounted truck on the grid

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Gayathri Radhakrishnan Nair; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sweden has a climatic goal to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 2045. One of the major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions is the transportation sector, out of which the major share lies in the heavy freight sector. READ MORE

  4. 3. Statistical Analysis on Aerodynamics of Passenger Vehicles

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Sannolikhetsteori och kombinatorik

    Author : Dingkang Peng; [2023]
    Keywords : statistics; aerodynamics; automotive engineering; causality; time series; cluster analysis;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to use statistical methods to analyze wind tunnel data generated in automotive aerodynamics testing to understand the properties of aerodynamic force and pressure in a vehicle's working environment. The data used for analysis are visualized, clustered and finally analyzed for Granger causality to see whether a causal link exists between different variables. READ MORE

  5. 4. Aerodynamic Concept Evaluation of Formula Student Side Structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gabriel Ågren; [2023]
    Keywords : Formula Student; KTH Formula Student; race car aerodynamics; CFD; Multi-element wing;

    Abstract : Formula Student is a global engineering competition where university students collaborate to design, construct, and race formula-style cars. Aerodynamics is one aspect in the vehicle design that can improve on-track performance by increasing cornering and straight-line speed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Method development for the use of Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations for vehicle soiling analysis

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Josep Plana Riu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing amount of sensors is being placed in cars in order to monitor their vicinities, which performance is highly dependant on the driving conditions, in which weather has a big role, and thus water contamination is a topic that will increase its importance in the future of the car industry. One of these sources of contamination is self-soiling: how cars get dirty because of their own tires. READ MORE
