  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

The main assignment has been to create a new solution for adjustable windshields made of glass and keep low production costs. Throughout the project, the generic product development process has been followed with two main sources. A structure and a plan have been executed. 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. Windshield Distortion Modelling

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Datorseende

    Author : Therese Luong; [2022]
    Keywords : windshield distortion; image distortion; camera model;

    Abstract : When a camera system in a car is mounted behind the windshield, light rays will be refracted by the windshield. The distortion can be significant, especially for wide field-of-view cameras. Traditional approaches handle the windshield distortion along with the calibration that calculates the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. READ MORE

  6. 5. In-Vehicle Information Systems : A Study on the Interaction between Driver and Automotive Head-Up Display System

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för informatik (IK)

    Author : Shishengxiong Zhong; [2022]
    Keywords : In-Vehicle Information Systems; Automotive Head-Up Display System; Human-Computer Interaction; Augmented Reality; Interaction; Information; Safety; Focused-Ethnographic Research.;

    Abstract : Head-up display (HUD) systems are systems that present data on a transparent display without requiring the user of the system to look away from their viewpoints. Although, HUD systems are not a new technology, as they have been initially developed in 1950s for military aircrafts, the last decade are also used in the automotive industry. READ MORE
