  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. 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

  4. 3. Development of CFD method to model thermal properties of laminates in a truck cab : Modeling solids and HVAC performance

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Aniruddh Mohan; [2022]
    Keywords : CFD; Conjugate heat transfer; HVAC; Shell modeling;

    Abstract : The study of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system performance is important to understand its energy consumption, especially for electric vehicles. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a methodology to simulate the flow within the Scania S20H cab while also capturing the thermal properties of the fluid and solids within the cab. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wading Simulations of Complete Heavy-Duty Vehicles

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

    Author : Emma Samuelsson; Sofie Benzler; [2022]
    Keywords : CFD; Volume of Fluid; Wading; Heavy-Duty Vehicles; STAR-CCM ;

    Abstract : Wading is the phenomenon where a vehicle drives through water with a relatively deep water level. Sincea large portion of the vehicle is submerged in water it can affect the driveability and function of individualcomponents. READ MORE
