2. Numerical Investigation of Internal Combustion Engine Related Flows
Sammanfattning : Internal combustion engines has been used for more than 100 years. The use of the abundant energy supply stored as hydrocarbon fueled unprecedented economic growth. The use of hydrocarbons increased the work output of human labor significantly, thus increasing the economy and prosperity. LÄS MER
3. Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Flow and Combustion in HCCI Engines
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with numerical simulations of the turbulent combustion process in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines. An accurate and computationally efficient Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model was developed and used throughout this thesis to investigate the development of in-cylinder turbulence, temperature stratification, onset of auto-ignition, and development of the reaction fronts.

4. Sedimentation and Its Challenge for Sustainability of Hydraulic Structures : A Case Study of Mosul Dam Pumping Station
Sammanfattning : A successful management and operation of water resources projects are essential to maintain their functions. Dams and reservoirs are one of the largest worldwide infrastructures. They serve one or more functions; reliable store and release of water for different purposes, hydropower generation and flood and draught controls. LÄS MER
5. Computation and Analysis of EGR Mixing in Internal Combustion Engine Manifolds
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with turbulent mixing processes occurring in internal combustion engines, when applying exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). EGR is a very efficient way to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in internal combustion engines. LÄS MER
