  1. 21. Global stability analysis of complex fluids

    Författare :Iman Lashgari; Luca Brandt; Francois Gallaire; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-Newtonian flow; Carreau model; Oldroyd-B model; FENE-P model; modal analysis; nonmodal analysis; sensitivity analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The main focus of this work is on the non-Newtonian effects on the inertial instabilities in shear flows. Both inelastic (Carreau) and elastic models (Oldroyd-B and FENE-P) have been employed to examine the main features of the non-Newtonian fluids; shear-thinning, shear-thickening and elasticity.

  3. 22. Exchange flows in estuaries and archipelagos

    Författare :Petter Stenström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Different aspects of the exchange of water and tracersbetween adjacent coastal basins, and between the coast and thesea, are addressed. Deviations from the inviscid hydraulicprediction of flow rates and interface heights in maximaltwo-layer exchange flows due to viscous effects are quantifiedby means of non-hydrostatic, three-dimensional numericalmodeling.

  4. 23. Numerical modeling of air-fiber flows

    Författare :Jelena Andric; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aggregation; particle-level simulation; rheology; fiber; dry-forming; fiber suspension;

    Sammanfattning : The dynamics of fiber suspensions are of great importance in applications such as the dry-forming process of pulp mats for use in hygiene products. In this forming process, fibers are transported in flowing air. The fibers interact with the fluid, and may interact with each other and interlock in flocs. LÄS MER

  5. 24. On optimization of natural convection flows

    Författare :Clio Saglietti; Dan S. Henningson; Kurt Maute; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Natural convection cooling; topology optimization; flow optimization; heat sink; conjugate heat transfer; differentially heated cavity; optimal initial disturbances; adjoint optimization;

    Sammanfattning : Two different techniques are presented for enhancing the thermal  performance of natural convection cooled heat sinks. The physics is  described by solving the conjugate heat transfer problem with a  spectral element method. The temperature distribution is computed in  two sub-domains, whose solution is then conjugated. LÄS MER

  7. 25. An evaluation of regional sustainability by analysing energy and carbon flows – A study of Jämtland, Sweden

    Författare :Torbjörn Skytt; Bengt-Gunnar Jonsson; Fredrik Ståhl; Magdalena Svanström; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Regional sustainability; Energy flows; Exergy; Carbon GHG fluxes; Sustainability indicators; carbon dioxide emissions; methane emissions; nature emissions;

    Sammanfattning : Models showing the anthropogenic and natural flows of two sustainability indicators; carbon based GHG and energy (as work energy) have been made for the Swedish region Jämtland. The methodology used was inspired by the study sustainability analysis conducted on the small Danish island Samsø using the above two indicators. LÄS MER
