1. 1. Numerical optimization of hull/propeller/rudder configurations

   Författare :Kaijia Han; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fuel cost savings; optimization; pressure fluctuation; self-propulsion; RANS; verification and validation; cavitation; open water; lifting surface; hull-propeller-rudder; effective wake; efficiency; aspect ratio; lifting line; interaction;

   Sammanfattning : The new framework of the global economy has stimulated and expanded the shipbuilding and shipping industry, especially in Asia in the twenty-first century. This induces urgent and high requirements on designing and building both conventional and new types of ships with high performance, such as high speed, manoeuvrability, seaworthiness and so on.

   Sammanfattning : An efficient numerical approach for ship hydrodynamics, involving a hybrid free-surface potential flow/RANS method, is explored. The work focuses on estimating the delivered power of ships in calm water and in waves, highlighting the benefits of full-scale simulations, particularly for ships with Energy Saving Devices.

5. 4. Lattice Boltzmann simulations of tracer diffusion in microswimmer suspensions

   Författare :Henrik Nordanger; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lattice Boltzmann; microswimmers; active matter; enhanced diffusion;

   Sammanfattning : Suspensions of microswimmers are a class of systems inherently out of equilibrium, due to the mechanical work continuously performed by a large number of active agents. Biological examples are plentiful, as many aquatic microorganisms have the ability to propel themselves. LÄS MER
