  1. 1. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
    Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.

  3. 2. Convolution-compacted visiontransformers forprediction of localwall heat flux atmultiple Prandtlnumbers in turbulentchannel flow

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Yuning Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : Turbulent flow; Heat transfer; Vision transformer; Convolutional neural network; Machine learning;

    Abstract : Predicting wall heat flux accurately in wall-bounded turbulent flows is critical for a variety of engineering applications, including thermal management systems and energy-efficient designs. Traditional methods, which rely on expensive numerical simulations, are hampered by increasing complexity and extremly high computation cost. READ MORE

  4. 3. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of surface roughness on spillway flow behaviors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Oday Asalya; Joar Fjällborg; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD; ansys fluent; roughness height; ytråhet;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the impact of spillway surface roughness on discharge capacity determination in hydraulic models. The study combines physical hydraulic modeling in a laboratory with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling using Fluent. READ MORE

  6. 5. Forming wide-orbit planets via pebble accretion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nerea Gurrutxaga; [2023]
    Keywords : Planet Formation; Pebble Accretion; Protoplanetary Disk; Wide-Orbit Planet; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The possibility that detected substructures in protoplanetary disks, such as gaps, rings and cavities, are created by distant protoplanets has prompted an inquiry into the mechanism responsible for their formation. These wide-orbit young bodies are likely to form relatively rapidly in the outer regions of circumstellar disks. READ MORE
