  1. 16. Mass conservative network model for convective net flow in a complex urban geometry

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Linus Olofsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Network model; Street canyons; Intersections; Urban dispersion; CFD data; CFD simulations; Atmospheric exchange;

    Abstract : When simulating air flows in an urban environment, for e.g. pollutant dispersion investigations, today's main tool is advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations. These simulations take a lot of time and resources to perform, even for small geometries. READ MORE

  3. 17. Optimal placement of plasma actuators on trucks : A drag reduction study using adjoint methods

    University essay from KTH/Aeroakustik

    Author : Samuel Gottfarb Bart; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The fuel consumption of vehicles plays an important environmental role and ways of improving the fuel economy is beneficial for a sustainable future. Active flow control is one method that can potentially reduce the aerodynamic drag significantly and therefore the fuel consumption. READ MORE

  4. 18. Physically Based Models for Predicting Exhaust Temperatures in SI Engines

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Hiren Kerai; Andrej Verem; [2016]
    Keywords : Exhaust temperature models;

    Abstract : To have knowledge about the gas and material temperatures in the exhaust system of today's vehicles is of great importance. These temperatures need to be known for component protection, control- and diagnostic purposes. Today mostly map-based models are used which are not accurate enough and difficult to tune since it consist of many parameters. READ MORE

  5. 19. Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel in Passenger Car Application

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Zhipeng Lyu; [2016]
    Keywords : Vehicle aerodynamics; 1 5th scale wind tunnel; unsteady pressure measurements; wind tunnel effects;

    Abstract : The thesis aims to provide an evaluation on the Volvo 1/5th scaled wind tunnel regarding its potentials and capabilities in aerodynamic study. The flow quality in the test section was evaluated. The experiments were performed included measurements of airspeed stability, tunnel-wall boundary layer profile and horizontal buoyancy. READ MORE

  6. 20. Prediction of the aeroelastic behavior An application to wind-tunnel models

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Mickaël Roucou; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The work of this paper has been done during a Master thesis at the ONERA and deals with the establish-ment of an aeroelastic state-space model and its application to two wind-tunnel models studied at the ONERA. The established model takes into account a control surface input and a gust perturbation. READ MORE
