  1. 6. Vibrant bodies of swirling flow : On the limits of mechanical power transformation

    Författare :Ida Jansson; Don-Hyun Kim; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis pinpoints the intertwined nature of inertia. A vibrant body of a swirling flow is neither just a flow nor a body. It is both. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Hydraulic turbomachines have played a prominent role in the procurement of renewableenergy for more than a century. Embedded in the context of general technological progress,their design for efficiency and reliability has reached an outstanding level of quality. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Vortices in turbulent curved pipe flow-rocking, rolling and pulsating motions

    Författare :Athanasia Kalpakli Vester; P. Henrik Alfredsson; Ramis Örlü; Nils Tillmark; Knud Meyer; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Turbulence; curved pipes; swirling flow; pulsatile flow; time-resolved stereoscopic particle image velocimetry; hot-wire anemometry; proper orthogonal decomposition; turbocharger;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is motivated by the necessity to understand the flow structure of turbulent flows in bends encountered in many technical applications such as heat exchangers, nuclear reactors and internal combustion engines. Flows in bends are characterised by strong secondary motions in terms of counter-rotating vortices (Dean cells) set up by a centrifugal instability. LÄS MER

  5. 9. 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

  7. 10. Analytical and Numerical Investigations of Steady and Unsteady Turbulent Swirling Flow in Diffusers

    Författare :Walter Gyllenram; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; draft tube; diffuser; LES; vortex breakdown; turbulence; CFD; swirling flow;

    Sammanfattning : Swirling flows are found in many technical applications, e.g. turbines, pumps, fans, compressors and combustors. The objective of the present work is to acquire an understanding of the physics of swirling flow in general and unsteady swirling flow in draft tubes of water turbines in particular. LÄS MER
