  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. Improving Water Droplet Prediction for Vehicle Exterior Water Management: Insights from Experimental and Simulation Studies

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Anton Labbé; Mahim Ahsan; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Volume of Fluid; Kistler Correlation; Water Droplet; Wind Tunnel Measurement; Exterior Water Management.; Beräkningsfluidmekanik; Volume of Fluid; Kistler-korrelation; Vattendroppar; Vind Tunnel Experiment; Exteriört Vattenhantering.;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 3. Development of HVAC simulations for truck cabins using OpenFOAM

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Junaid Haider; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Conjugate Heat Transfer; chtMultiRegionFoam;

    Abstract : In regions with cold climates, a layer of ice often forms on vehicle windshields, whichobstructs the driver’s view. To address this issue, vehicles are equipped with internal defrosters. However, at Scania, the evaluation of defroster design performancecurrently relies on time-consuming and costly physical testing. 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. Development of a Low Noise Drone Propeller Using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Axel Schulz; [2023]
    Keywords : Drone Propeller Low Noise Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. READ MORE
