  1. 11. Flow field investigation of rotating wheels on passenger cars

    Författare :Christoffer Landström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The importance of aerodynamics of road-going vehicles on the total driving resistance and hence fuel consumption is well known to vehicle manufactures. At present, upper body aerodynamics of passenger cars is relatively well understood. LÄS MER

  2. 12. The Aerodynamic Correlation of a Scale Model with a Full Size Car

    Författare :Lasse Malmkjaer Christoffersen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cooling flow.; Correlation; Experiment; Reynolds number; Road Vehicle Aerodynamics; CFD; Scale model;

    Sammanfattning : Reducing the Worlds consumption of energy has become an important part of the current political and environmental debate. The reasons are obvious: World population is increasing, continued growth in living standards, finite availability of resources and finally green house gas emissions from energy production have to be brought down to stabilize temperatures.

  3. 13. Design, Optimization and Evaluation of a Transonic Aeroelastic Rig

    Författare :Simeng Tian; Andrew R. Martin; Mauricio Gutierrez Salas; Dieter Peitsch; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transonic compressor; Aeroelastic rig; Design; CFD; Unsteady flow; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

    Sammanfattning : The compressor is one of the most essential components of a modern turbomachinery engine. This component is exposed to vibrations that without proper design can damage structural integrity and lead to failure. LÄS MER

  4. 14. A vertex-centered discontinuous Galerkin method for flow problems

    Författare :Sven-Erik Ekström; Martin Berggren; Per Lötstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The understanding of flow problems, and finding their solution, has been important for most of human history, from the design of aqueducts to boats and airplanes. The use of physical miniature models and wind tunnels were, and still are, useful tools for design, but with the development of computers, an increasingly large part of the design process is assisted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

  5. 15. Numerical Investigation of Unsteady Crosswind Aerodynamics for Ground Vehicles

    Författare :Tristan Favre; Gunilla Efraimsson; Mattias Chevalier; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerodynamics; Vehicle Aerodynamics; Unsteady Aerodynamics; Crosswind; Unsteady Crosswind Aerodynamics; Detached-Eddy Simulations; DES; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Ground vehicles are subjected to crosswind from various origins such as weather, topography of the ambient environment (land, forest, tunnels, high bushes...) or surrounding traffic. LÄS MER
