  1. 31. Choreographing Flow : A Study in Concrete Deposition

    Författare :Helena Westerlind; Hélèna Frichot; Marcelyn Gow; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architectural Technology; Arkitekturteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The traditional use of concrete in architecture is fundamentally conditioned by the inverse relationship that exists between material and formwork. When poured into a mold, a homogenous mixture takes the shape of its container. More detailed adjustment of the structure of concrete, however, is not possible. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Improving Fuel Efficiency of Commercial Vehicles through Optimal Control of Energy Buffers

    Författare :Mohammad Khodabakhshian; Jan Wikander; Lei Feng; Johan Ölvander; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy buffer; Optimal control; Hybrid electric vehicle; Engine cooling system; Equivalent consumption minimization strategy; Model predictive control; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : Fuel consumption reduction is one of the main challenges in the automotiveindustry due to its economical and environmental impacts as well as legalregulations. While fuel consumption reduction is important for all vehicles,it has larger benefits for commercial ones due to their long operational timesand much higher fuel consumption. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Control Lyapunov Functions : A Control Strategy for Damping of Power Oscillations in Large Power Systems

    Författare :Mehrdad Ghandhari; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; UPFC; CSC; QBT; Lyapunov function; Control Lyapunov Function; SIME; Sliding mode; Electric power engineering; Elkraftteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In the present climate of deregulation and privatisation, theutilities are often separated into generation, transmission anddistribution companies so as to help promote economic efficiencyand encourage competition. Also, environmental concerns,right-of-way and cost problems have delayed the construction ofboth generation facilities and new transmission lines while thedemand for electric power has continued to grow, which must bemet by increased loading of available lines.

  5. 34. Flow control of boundary lagers and wakes

    Författare :Jens H. M. Fransson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Laminar-turbulent transition; asymptotic suction boundary layer; free stream turbulence; Tollmien-Schlichting wave; stability; flow control; cylinder wake; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Both experimental and theoretical studies have beenconsidered on flat plate boundary layers as well as on wakesbehind porous cylinders. The main thread in this work iscontrol, which is applied passively and actively on boundarylayers in order to inhibit or postpone transition toturbulence; and actively through the cylinder surface in orderto effect the wakecharacteristics.

  7. 35. Unsteady Numerical Simulations of Flow around Heavy Vehicles, Trains and Passenger Cars

    Författare :Jan Östh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Large Eddy Simulation; fluid dynamics; bluff body flows; flow structures; vehicle aerodynamics; flow control; flow physics; truck aerodynamics; train aerodynamics; car aerodynamics;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis several simulations have been carried out aimed at improving the knowledgeof vehicle aerodynamics and improving the flow around vehicles with respect to theaerodynamic drag. Four flows around different simplified vehicles have been considered. LÄS MER
