  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Effective shear stiffness of cross-laminated timber : Comparison between numerical and analytical approaches

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Therese Badrous; Las Muradi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increasing importance of sustainability has led to a focus on smart solutions for energy consumption and materials. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained attention as a sustainable alternative in construction, offering high strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. READ MORE

  4. 3. DURABILITY STUDY OF REJUVENATED RAP BINDERS

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : An Na Lay; [2022]
    Keywords : RAP reclaimed asphalt pavement ; rejuvenator; bitumen; rheology; ageing; RAP; bitumen; föryngringsmedel; reologi; åldring;

    Abstract : När priset på naturtillgångar ökar samt att industrier måste ställa om till en mer hållbar verksamhet innebär detta även en omställning för asfaltsindustrin. Ett sätt för att använda mer återvunnet material i asfaltsindustri är att använda bindemedlet från gammal asfaltsmassa (eng.: reclaimed asphalt pavement, RAP). READ MORE

  5. 4. Boundary conditions at left ventricle wall for modelling trabeculae in blood flow simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Lukas Werner; Ellen Leonardsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Trabeculae; CFD; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Hemodynamics; Blood Flow Simulations; Endocardial wall; porous; boundary conditions;

    Abstract : Heart disease is the main cause of death today, and studying causes and treatments are of great interest. Blood flow simulations using computational fluid dynamics shows promise in providing insight into this area. This study builds upon previous work by Larsson et al. and Kronborg et al. READ MORE

  6. 5. CFD Based External Heat Transfer Coefficient Predictions on a Transonic Film-Cooled Gas Turbine Guide Vane : A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study on the Von Karman Institute LS94 Test Case

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Rosalie Johnsson; Lilian Asiegbu; [2022]
    Keywords : gas turbine; turbine inlet guide vane; film-cool; film cool; Computational Fluid Dynamics; CFD; heat transfer coefficient; Shear Stress Transport k-ω; SST k-ω; Scale Resolving Hybrid; SRH; turbulence modelling;

    Abstract : The turbine inlet guide vanes of a gas-turbine are subjected to extreme hot gas temperatures which increases the risk of mechanical failure and overall reduces the component lifespan. Hence, it is of great interest for gas-turbine manufacturers to establish methods for accurately estimating the temperature distribution along the vane surface. READ MORE
