  1. 1. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Modeling of a Free Surface Flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Mathieu Marmier; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; Free Surface Flow; VOF; STAR-CCM ; Multiphase Simulation; Nuclear Engineering; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This project deals with the CFD modelling of a free surface flow. The aim is to develop and validate a fast and accurate numerical model for stratified two-phase flows. Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase model is employed. The purpose is to use the developed numerical model for the design of an element within a compact nuclear reactor. READ MORE

  3. 2. Simulations of a self-stabilizing fully submerged hydrofoil

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Henry Jacobson; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrofoil; Self-Stabilizing; Lifting Line Theory; Fluid Mechanics; Numerical Methods; Backward Differentiation Formula; Fully Submerged Hydrofoil; Bärplan; bärplansbåt; självstabiliserande; lyftande linjeteori; strömningsme- kanik; numeriska metoder; Backward Differentiation Formula; fullt nedsänkt bärplan;

    Abstract : Two models of a self-stabilizing hydrofoil system is developed where the effects from the struts and hydrofoil give torques for angular rotations. Lifting line theory for the hydrofoil which can twist is used. Nonlinear versions of the models are also developed and compared to find that the linear models use valid approximations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

    Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

  6. 5. Design of cooling-air permeable coil support

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Rozbeh Ghassemi; [2023]
    Keywords : Topology optimization; FEM-simulations; CFD-simulations; Material selection; Topologioptimering; FEM-simuleringar; CFD-simuleringar; Materialval;

    Abstract : Coil supports are integral load-bearing components employed in generators andmotors. They serve the purpose of preventing excessive deformation and maintaininga stable position of the coils responsible for generating power and magnetic fieldswhen rotating. READ MORE
