  1. 1. Wall-Resolved and Wall-Modelled LES for a NACA4412 Wing Profile in OpenFOAM

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Författare :Nikolaos Charisoudis; [2024]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study is to perform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulationfor an incompressible flow around an airfoil and investigate the aerodynamicproperties for different Reynolds numbers (400, 000 and 1, 000, 000) based on the chordlength, at the moderate angle of attack (AoA) of 5o . For this purpose a detailedevaluation of wall-resolved and wall-modelled large-eddy simulations (LES) wereconducted for the NACA4412 wing profile. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Aerodynamics simulations of Scania trucks using OpenFOAM

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Författare :Ziyi Liu; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Heavy-duty truck; Computational fluid dynamics; Air drag; OpenFOAM;

    Sammanfattning : In the field of heavy-duty vehicles, fuel efficiency and environmental protection are factors that need to be focused on, while the aerodynamic drag generated during vehicle travelling is one of the most influential aspects. This thesis delves into the aerodynamic simulation of Scania trucks using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, OpenFOAM v2206. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Study of mixing and exchange in a drinking water reservoir using CFD modeling

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Författare :Nadja Rabizadeh; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CFD; Fluid Mechanics; OpenFOAM; drinking water reservoir; URANS; transient; exchange of water; mixing; Norrvatten;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines water mixing and exchange in a drinking water reservoir operated by themunicipal association Norrvatten. Recent water samples from the reservoir’s outgoing waterhave shown an increase in culturable bacteria during late summer and fall. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Propulsion modelling of a generic submarine propeller

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Författare :Gustav Boman; [2023]
    Nyckelord :OpenFOAM; CFD; actuator line model; rotor disk; actuator disk; INSEAN E1619; propeller;

    Sammanfattning : Self propulsion modelling is important in order to accurately simulate ships and submarinesusing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, fully resolved simulations of hull andpropeller geometries are computationally heavy and time consuming. As such there is a greatinterest in lower order CFD models of propellers. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Investigation of coarse-grid CFD approach for nuclear engineering application

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Fysik

    Författare :Michela Casarella; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Thermal-hydraulics; Nuclear reactor; CFD; Sub-channel; Coarse-grid; Turbulence; Pressure drop; Termisk-hydraulik; kärnreaktor; CFD; underkanal; grovkornigt nät; turbulens; tryckfall;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, an innovative coarse grid CFD approach is developed that aims toexploit the capabilities of sub-channel codes and CFD methods while overcoming theirlimitations. In the approach, a very coarse mesh is implemented in the CFD softwareOpenFOAM and a new wall treatment, based on the traditional concept of the wallfunction, is applied to the wall boundary conditions of the domain to take into accountthe low resolution of the grid which does not allow to effectively capture the effect of thesolid walls on the thermo-hydraulics of the flow.
