1. Adjoint optimization of a liquid-cooled heat sink
University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanikAbstract : Improving the design of flow channels in a liquid-cooled heat sink is critical for boosting the capabilities of electronic components as well as reducing energy usage by the pump. This work explores the use of topology optimization to minimize the pressure difference across a heat sink and consequently, the energy used to supply the liquid. READ MORE

2. Development of HVAC simulations for truck cabins using OpenFOAM
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : 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

3. Verification and validation of the implementation of an Algebraic Reynolds-Stress Model for stratified boundary layers
University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanikAbstract : This thesis studies the implementation of an Explicit Algebraic Reynolds-Stress Model(EARSM) for Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) in an open source ComputationalFluid Dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM, following the guidance provided by thewind company ENERCON that aims to make use of this novel model to improvesites’ wind-field predictions. After carefully implementing the model in OpenFOAM,the EARSM implementation is verified and validated by testing it with a stratifiedCouette flow case. READ MORE

4. Two-phase CFD Modelling and Validation : SH204X Master Thesis Project Report
University essay from KTH/KärnenergiteknikAbstract : This project deals with two-phase CFD model validation, a subject which is currently under active research due to its complexity. The goal is to create a model that predicts data profiles to an acceptable degree for a wide array of flow conditions. The applications within the nuclear field would mainly be for safety analysis, e.g. READ MORE

5. LES modelling of spray combustion
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a method that is capable of accurately simulating the combustion of a conventional fuel.
