  1. 1. Structural responses due to underwater detonations : Validation of explosion modelling methods using LS-DYNA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Gustav Blomgren; Ebba Carlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Underwater explosion; UNDEX; detonation; fluid structure interaction; FSI; SSA; S-ALE; shock-wave; explosive; PETN; explosive modelling; Sub-Sea Analysis; Structured ALE; Arbitrary Lagrangian Euler; Multi Material Arbitrary Lagrangian Euler; MMALE; LS-DYNA;

    Abstract : Modelling the full event of an underwater explosion (UNDEX) is complex and requires advanced modelling methods in order to achieve accurate responses. The process of an UNDEX includes a series of events that has to be considered. READ MORE

  3. 2. CFD Analysis of the Flow Around a Paraglider Wing

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Caterina Gennari; [2023]
    Keywords : Paraglider Wing; CFD; RANS; DES; Aerodynamics; Aerodynamic Hysteresis; FSI; Deformable Structure; Membrane; Shell Elements;

    Abstract : In this study, the characteristics of the flow around a paraglider wing were investigated through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations by solving both Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and Delayed Detached Eddy Simulations were employed. This allowed the observation of how the unique shape of the canopy of a paraglider can influence the behaviour of the flow and how aerodynamic hysteresis can manifest on this sort of wing. READ MORE

  4. 3. Multidisciplinary Modelling of Water Piston Oscillations in Wave Energy Converters : Assessment of Flow Resistance Through CFD Modelling with Fluid Structure Interactions

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Linnéa Tebelius; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluid Mechanics; Point Absorber; CFD; WEC; Waves4Power; Strömnigsmekanik; Point Absorber; CFD; WEC; Waves4Power;

    Abstract : As the world’s need for electricity increases, so does its demand for sustainable energy with low to no greenhouse gas emissions. One of these renewable sources of energy is the Ocean which is one of the world’s largest and most predictable energy source, where the extraction of energy can be from waves or tidal current, with zero greenhouse gas emissions during production.

  5. 4. Hydroacoustic Modelling of Podded Propulsion System : Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction Using ANSYS

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Martin Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluid Mechanics; Computational Aeroacoustics; Frequency Response; Noise and Vibration; Pod; Propulsion System; ANSYS; Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations; Kongsberg Maritime Sweden AB;

    Abstract : Ocean noise pollution is an invisible but growing threat. There are many sources of sound in the ocean but human underwater radiated noise, in particular from shipping is one of the most prominent one. Ocean noise pollution can interfere or sometimes even directly harm marine life. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Investigation and Modeling of the interaction between Paperboard Clippings in a Pipe Flow

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Lea Christierson; [2021]
    Keywords : Fluid-structure interaction; paperboard material modeling; transient pipe flow; overset mesh; image analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the manufacturing process of Tetra Pak packages, holes are cut out of the paperboard for straws and caps. The left-over paperboard clippings, called confetti, need to be evacu- ated from the machine. However, this evacuation process has proven to cause problems due to jams arising as the confetti get stuck in joints and along the pipe walls. READ MORE
