1. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM
University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanikAbstract : 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

2. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : 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. Investigation of fuel and water injection in gas turbine combustion : Evaluate the methodologies available in Star CCM+ for modeling of water injection in simplified combustor using liquid and gas fuels
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : The negative impact of gas turbine emissions on the environment and human health is a growing concern. Recent studies suggest injecting water into the combustion process effectively reduces emissions and increases power output. However, this approach presents new challenges that need to be thoroughly investigated. READ MORE

4. Design of Experiment Based on Full Factorial CFD Spray Modelling
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Design of experiment is a powerful tool that can reduce the amount of physical testing needed to save resources, time and money. A CFD-setup was constructed in OpenFOAM-8, simulating injection of liquid propane with a standard multi-hole injector. The model was then validated against experimental results. READ MORE

5. Simulation of Combustion in a Hybrid Rocket Engine
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : A numerical investigation on the combustion mechanics of a hybrid rocket engine is performed through unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation. The hybrid rocket engine model is based on an experimental laboratory scale engine design operating on GOX and HDPE as a propellant. READ MORE
