  • Large-Eddy Simulation of Gasoline Fuel Spray Injection at Ultra-High Injection Pressures
  • 2021
  • Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Gasoline direct injection is a state-of-the-art technique that reduces hydrocarbon and particulate emissions. However, further improvement is needed to meet current as well as future emission regulations. A prominent solution is to increase the fuel injection pressure which allows faster fuel droplet atomization, quick evaporation and improves fuel-air mixture formation under realistic engine conditions. In this work, the gasoline fuel injection process at ultra-high injection pressures ranging from 200 to 1500 bar was analyzed using numerical models. In particular, the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) method, with the standard Smagorinsky turbulence model, was utilized using the Eulerian formulation  for the continuous phase. The discrete droplet phase was treated using a Lagrangian formulation together with spray sub-models. In the first part of study, spray was injected into an initially quiescent constant volume chamber using two different nozzle hole shape geometries: divergent and convergent. The numerical results were calibrated by reproducing experimentally observed liquid penetration length and efforts were made to understand the influence of ultra-high injection pressures on spray development. The calibrated models were then used to investigate the impact of ultra-high injection pressures on mean droplet sizes, droplet size distribution, spray-induced large-scale eddies and entrainment rate. The results showed that, at ultra-high injection pressures, the mean droplet sizes were significantly reduced and the droplets achieving very high  velocities. Integral length scales of spray-induced turbulence and air entrainment rate were better for the divergent-shaped injector, and considerably larger at higher injection pressures compared to lower ones. In the second part of the study, four consecutive full-cycle cold flow LES simulations were carried out to generate realistic turbulence inside the engine cylinder. The first three cycles were ignored, with the fourth cycle being used to model the injection of the fuel using the divergent-shaped injector only (which was found to be better in the previous part of this study) at different injection pressures. In addition to the continuous gas phase (Eulerian) and the dispersed liquid (Lagrangian), the liquid film feature (Finite-Area) was used to model the impingement of fuel spray on the engine walls and subsequent liquid film formation. The simulation results were used to evaluate spray-induced turbulence, fuel-air mixing efficiency and the amount of liquid mass deposited on the walls. The limitation of the high-pressure injection technique with respect to liquid film formation was optimized using a start of injection (SOI) sweep. Overall results showed that the mixing efficiency increased at high injection pressure and that SOI should occur between early injection and late injection to optimize the amount of mass being deposited on the engine walls.

  • Particulate Formation in GDI Engines
  • 2022
  • Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • The need to comply with stringent emission regulations while improving fuel economy and reducing criteria pollutant emissions from transportation presents a major challenge in the design of gasoline Direct Injection (DI) engines because of the adverse effects of ultrafine Particulate Number (PN) emissions on human health and other environmental concerns. With upcoming advances in vehicle electrification, it may be the case that electric vehicles completely replace all current vehicles powered by internal combustion engines ensuring zero emissions. In the meantime, Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines have become the primary mode of transportation using gasoline as they offer better fuel economy while also providing low CO2 emissions. However, GDI engines tend to produce relatively high PN emissions when compared to conventional Port Fuel Injection (PFI) engines, largely because of challenges associated with in-cylinder liquid fuel injection. Cold-starts, transients, and high load operation generate a disproportionate share of PN emissions from GDI engines over a certification cycle. The mechanisms of PN formation during these stages must therefore be understood to identify solutions that reduce overall PN emissions in order to comply with increasingly strict emissions standards. This work presents experimental studies on particulate emissions from a naturally aspirated single cylinder metal gasoline engine run in a homogeneous configuration. The engine was adapted to enable operation in both DI and PFI modes. In PFI mode, injection was performed through a custom inlet manifold about 50 cm from the cylinder head to maximize the homogeneity of the fuel-air mixture. The metal head was eventually modified by incorporating an endoscope that made it possible to visualize the combustion process inside the cylinder. The experimental campaigns were structured to systematically isolate and clarify PN formation mechanisms. Tests were initially performed in steady state mode to obtain preliminary insights and to screen operating conditions before conducting transient tests. Particulate emissions were measured and correlated with the images obtained through endoscope visualization where possible. Key objectives of these studies were to find ways of reducing PN formation by increasing combustion stability. It was found that by avoiding conditions that cause wall wetting with liquid fuel, PN emissions can be substantially reduced during both steady state operation and transients. Warming the coolant and injecting fuel at later timings reduced PN emissions during warmup and cold transient conditions. Additionally, experiments using fuel blends with different oxygenate contents showed that the chemical composition of the fuel strongly influences particulate formation under steady state and transient conditions, and that this effect is load-dependent. Overall, the results obtained in this work indicate that wall wetting is the dominant cause of particulate formation inside the cylinder and that fuel-wall interactions involving the piston, cylinder walls, and valves during fuel injection account for a significant proportion of PN emissions in the engine raw exhaust.

  • Installation effects on engine design
  • 2020
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Increasing the engine bypass ratio is one way to improve propulsive efficiency. However, an increase in the bypass ratio (BPR) has usually been associated with an increase in the fan diameter. Consequently, there can be a notable increase in the impact of the engine installation on the overall aircraft performance. In order to achieve a better balance between those factors, it requires novel nacelle and engine design concepts. This report mainly reviews installation effects on engine design. Firstly, the installation effects assessment methods are introduced. Then, the installation effects on engine cycle design, intake design and exhaust design are sequentially reviewed.

  • Investigation of railway curve squeal using a combination of frequency- and time-domain models
  • 2016
  • In: Proceedings of the 12h International Workshop on Railway Noise (IWRN12), Terrigal, Australia, September 12-16. ; , s. 444 - 451
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Railway curve squeal arises from self-excited vibrations during curving. In this paper, a frequency- and a timedomainapproach for curve squeal are compared. In particular, the capability of the frequency-domain model topredict the onset of squeal and the squeal frequencies is studied. In the frequency-domain model, linear stabilityis investigated through complex eigenvalue analysis. The time-domain model is based on a Green's functionsapproach and uses a convolution procedure to obtain the system response. To ensure comparability, the samesubmodels are implemented in both squeal models. The structural flexibility of a rotating wheel is modelled byadopting Eulerian coordinates. To account for the moving wheel‒rail contact load, the so-called moving elementmethod is used to model the track. The local friction characteristics in the contact zone is modelled inaccordance with Coulomb's law with a constant friction coefficient. The frictional instability arises due togeometrical coupling. In the time-domain model, Kalker's non-linear, non-steady state rolling contact modelincluding the algorithms NORM and TANG for normal and tangential contact, respectively, is solved in eachtime step. In the frequency-domain model, the normal wheel/rail contact is modelled by a linearization of theforce-displacement relation obtained with NORM around the quasi-static state and full-slip conditions areconsidered in tangential direction. Conditions similar to those of a curve on the Stockholm metro exposed tosevere curve squeal are studied with both squeal models. The influence of the wheel-rail friction coefficient andthe direction of the resulting creep force on the occurrence of squeal is investigated for vanishing train speed. Results from both models are similar in terms of the instability range in the parameter space and the predictedsqueal frequencies.

  • Spray combustion with multiple-injection in modern engine conditions
  • 2020
  • Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Combustion of fuel in diesel engines emits substances harmful to the environment such as soot. These emissions can be reduced by either in-cylinder treatments or after-treatments. One of the common in-cylinder treatments is multiple-injection, which divides a single fuel injection to multiple smaller injections. There are many open questions on the physical processes of the ignition, combustion and emissions of diesel spray flame with multiple injections. The current PhD project aims at studying these processes using large-eddy simulations (LES) and strives to answer some of the open questions. To develop a fast and robust LES tool for this study, a new method is formulated for spray combustion simulation. This method is developed based on the flamelet-generated manifold (FGM) method and the Eulerian stochastic fields (ESF) method. The new ESF/FGM method relaxes some of the substantial assumptions in conventional FGM, while it still keeps the computational costs at a reasonable level for engineering applications. Additionally in this work, a new reaction progress variable for FGM models is proposed by using local oxygen consumption, and the advantages and limitations of this progress variable are explored. Spray-A from Engine Combustion Network (ECN) which is designed to mimic modern engine conditions is chosen as the baseline case for simulations. In this case, liquid n-dodecane, which is a diesel surrogate, is injected into a high-pressure constant-volume vessel. The comparison of simulation results with experimental measurements shows that the ESF/FGM method with the new progress variable can predict the spray combustion characteristics such as ignition delay time, ignition location, lift-off length, pressure rise and thermochemical structure of the spray flame, accurately. After validation of simulation results against experimental measurements, the new ESF/FGM and other available turbulence-combustion simulation tools are applied to simulate multiple-injection spray combustion. Different multiple-injection strategies are investigated by systematically changing the injection timing. The effects of applying each strategy on the ignition, combustion, mixing and emissions are investigated. The results show that in split-injection and post-injection strategies the major physical reason for reduction of soot is better air entrainment and lower local equivalence ratio. It is shown that increasing the dwell time and retarding it toward the end of injection can enhance this effect. On the contrary, for the pre-injection strategies, shortening the ignition delay time of the main injection reduces its pre-mixing and increases its soot formation. In these strategies, the high-temperature region from the pre-injection combustion can increase soot oxidation of the main injection fuel, only if this region is not cooled down as a result of air entrainment during dwell time. Therefore, in such cases shortening the dwell time decreases net soot emissions.

  • A new method for performance map prediction of automotive turbocharger compressors with both vaneless and vaned diffusers
  • 2021
  • In: Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering. - : SAGE Publications. - 2041-2991 .- 0954-4070. ; 235:6, s. 1734-1747
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • A new approach to predict the performance maps of automotive turbocharger compressors is presented. Firstly, a polynomial equation is applied to fit the experimental data of flow coefficient ratios for the centrifugal compressors with both vaneless and vaned diffusers. Based on this equation, the choke and surge flow coefficients under different machine Mach numbers can be quickly predicted. Secondly, a physically based piecewise elliptic equation is used to define compressors’ characteristic curves in terms of efficiency ratio. By introducing the flow coefficient ratio into the efficiency correlation, the empirical coefficients in the piecewise elliptic equation are uniquely calibrated by the experimental data, forming a unified algebraic equation to match the efficiency maps of the compressors with both vaneless and vaned diffusers. Then, a new universal equation, which connects the work coefficient, the impeller outlet flow coefficient and the non-dimensional equivalent impeller outlet width, is derived by using classical aerothermodynamic method. The off-design pressure ratio is predicted based on the equivalent impeller outlet width with less knowledge of the compressor geometry and no empirical coefficients. Finally, three state-of-the-art turbocharger compressors (one with vaneless diffuser, two with vaned diffusers) are chosen to validate the proposed method, and the results show a satisfactory accuracy for the performance map prediction. This method can be used for the preliminary design of turbocharger compressors with both vaneless and vaned diffusers, or to assess the design feasibility and challenges of the given design specifications.

  • A New Method for Impeller Inlet Design of Supercritical CO2 Centrifugal Compressors in Brayton Cycles
  • 2020
  • In: Energies. - : MDPI AG. - 1996-1073 .- 1996-1073. ; 13:19
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) is considered as a potential working fluid in next generation power and energy systems. The SCO2 Brayton cycle is advantaged with higher cycle efficiency, smaller compression work, and more compact layout, as compared with traditional cycles. When the inlet total condition of the compressor approaches the critical point of the working fluid, the cycle efficiency is further enhanced. However, the flow acceleration near the impeller inducer causes the fluid to enter two-phase region, which may lead to additional aerodynamic losses and flow instability. In this study, a new impeller inlet design method is proposed to achieve a better balance among the cycle efficiency, compressor compactness, and inducer condensation. This approach couples a concept of the maximum swallowing capacity of real gas and a new principle for condensation design. Firstly, the mass flow function of real gas centrifugal compressors is analytically expressed by non-dimensional parameters. An optimal inlet flow angle is derived to achieve the maximum swallowing capacity under a certain inlet relative Mach number, which leads to the minimum energy loss and a more compact geometry for the compressor. Secondly, a new condensation design principle is developed by proposing a novel concept of the two-zone inlet total condition for SCO2 compressors. In this new principle, the acceptable acceleration margin (AAM) is derived as a criterion to limit the impeller inlet condensation. The present inlet design method is validated in the design and simulation of a low-flow-coefficient compressor stage based on the real gas model. The mechanisms of flow accelerations in the impeller inducer, which form low-pressure regions and further produce condensation, are analyzed and clarified under different operating conditions. It is found that the proposed method is efficient to limit the condensation in the impeller inducer, keep the compactness of the compressor, and maintain a high cycle efficiency.

  • Large-eddy simulation on the effects of fuel injection pressure on gasoline spray characteristics
  • 2019
  • Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Increasing the injection pressure in gasoline direct injection engines has a substantial potential to reduce emissions while maintaining high efficiency in spark ignition engines. Present gasoline injectors operate at pressures of 20 to 30 MPa. However, the use of higher-pressure fuel injection (40 to 60 MPa or more) could potentially reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency. To fully exploit the capabilities of high-pressure fuel injection technology, a fundamental understanding of gasoline spray characteristics and behavior at such high injection pressures is vital. Such an understanding could also be used to further model development and facilitate the integration of advanced injection systems into future gasoline engines. This work presents numerical simulation studies on gasoline sprays formed at fuel injection pressures between 40 and 150 MPa. Three nozzle hole shapes (divergent, convergent, and straight) with different configurations (6 or 10 holes) were considered in the simulation to determine how a nozzle geometry affects spray formation. The numerical calculations were performed in a constant volume spray chamber under non-vaporizing conditions to best match the experimental setup. The gas flow was modeled using a large-eddy simulation (LES) approach, while a standard Lagrangian model was utilized to describe the liquid fuel spray. Spray atomization was modeled using the Kelvin Helmholtz –Rayleigh Taylor (KH-RT) atomization model, with the droplet size distribution being assumed to follow a Rosin-Rammler distribution function. Simulation results for the spray liquid penetration length are validated with experimental findings under different fuel injection pressures. Afterwards, an arithmetic mean droplet diameter (D10) and a Sauter mean droplet diameter (D32) as a function of pressure are compared against the measured droplet diameters. Simulated drop size distributions are presented and compared with measured droplet sizes. The results indicate that high fuel injection pressures increase the liquid penetration length and significantly reduce droplet sizes, and that nozzle shape significantly affects spray characteristics and spray formation. In addition, raising the injection pressure from 40 to 150 MPa with a divergent nozzle was predicted to reduce the SMD from 13.4 to 7.5 μm while increasing the probability of observing droplet diameters of 5-10 μm from 40% to 72%. Similar results were obtained for the other nozzle shapes.

  • Thermal impact on rolling contact fatigue of railway wheels
  • 2014
  • Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. The established computational framework includes heat flux analyses, (two- and three-dimensional) elastoplastic finite element simulations and subsequent RCF life analyses. The computational framework is employed to quantify the influence of various operational parameters and modelling presumptions such as applied heat and tangential stress characteristics, load application schemes, mesh densities etc. Examples of results include quantifications of how partial slip conditions result in higher plastic strain magnitudes in a thin layer at the wheel tread surface, and differences in material responses between accelerating and braking wheels.The numerical model was extended to incorporate surface initiated cracks. With the extended model it is shown that 1 mm deep cracks have a substantial influence on the state of stress and strain in the bulk material between surface cracks. Further, comparisons between radial (thermal) and inclined (RCF) surface cracks show that the deformation of significantly inclined cracks (30 degrees) is more severe than that of radial cracks. Further, acceleration is found to give larger crack face displacements. However braking tends to induce tensile residual stresses that open the crack mouth, thus allowing fluid penetration that can promote crack growth. Also thermal loading is found to cause a significant crack mouth opening that is decreased by subsequent rolling contact.In a final study numerical RCF predictions are compared to full-scale experimental studies carried out at the Railway Technical Research Institute in Japan. Thermal loading tuned towards measurements by thermocameras and thermocouples are introduced in a truncated loading scheme corresponding to the test configuration. Estimated crack initiation life is found to be in good agreement with test results. The investigation also shows the significant influence of the employed material model. In addition to thermomechanical fatigue analyses, the case of purely thermal fracture has been investigated. This study quantified how the risk of fracture and resulting crack sizes depend on braking conditions and initial surface cracks. The results of this thesis are believed to be of importance in defining and enforcing sustainable operational conditions and maintenance actions. Further, this thesis provides tools to establish root causes and pertinent mitigating actions when thermomechanical wheel cracking nevertheless occurs.

  • Aerodynamic Implication of Endwall and Profile Film Cooling in a Transonic Annular Cascade
  • 2013
  • In: 21st ISABE Conference. - Busan, Korea.
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • An experimental study is performed to observe the aerodynamic implications of endwall and profile film cooling on flow structures and aerodynamic losses. The investigated vane is a geometrically similar transonic nozzle guide vane with engine-representative cooling geometry. Furthermore, a new formulation of the cooling aerodynamic loss equation is presented and compared with the conventional methods. Results from a 5-hole pneumatic probe show that the film coolant significantly alters the secondary flow structure. The effect of different assumptions for the loss calculation is shown to significantly change the measured loss.

  • Suction and Pressure Side Film Cooling Influence on Vane Aero Performance in a Transonic Annular Cascade
  • 2013
  • In: Proceedings of the ASME Turbo Expo. - 9780791855225
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • An experimental study on a film cooled nozzle guide vane has been conducted in a transonic annular sector to observe the influence of suction and pressure side film cooling on aerodynamic performance. The investigated vane is a typical high pressure gas turbine vane, geometrically similar to a real engine component, operated at an exit reference Mach number of 0.89. The aerodynamic results using a five hole miniature probe are quantified and compared with the baseline case which is uncooled. Results lead to a conclusion that the aerodynamic loss is influenced substantially with the change of the cooling flow rate regardless the positions of the cooling rows. The aerodynamic loss is very sensitive to the blowing ratio and a value of blowing ratio higher than one leads to a considerable higher loss penalty. The suction side film cooling has larger influence on the aerodynamic loss compared to the pressure side film cooling. Pitch-averaged exit flow angles around midspan remain unaffected at moderate blowing ratio. The secondary loss decreases (greater decrease in the tip region compared to the hub region) with inserting cooling air for all cases compared to the uncooled case.

  • Squeak and Rattle Prediction for Robust Product Development in the automotive industry
  • 2021
  • Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Squeak and rattle are nonstationary, irregular, and impulsive sounds that are audible inside the car cabin. For decades, customer complaints about squeak and rattle have been, and still are, among the top quality issues in the automotive industry. These annoying sounds are perceived as quality defect indications and burden warranty costs to the car manufacturers. Today, the quality improvements regarding the persistent type of sounds in the car, as well as the increasing popularity of electric engines, as green and quiet propulsion solutions, stress the necessity for attenuating annoying sounds like squeak and rattle more than in the past. The economical and robust solutions to this problem are to be sought in the pre-design-freeze phases of the product development and by employing design-concept-related practices. To achieve this goal, prediction and evaluation tools and methods are required to deal with the squeak and rattle quality issues upfront in the product development process. The available tools and methods for the prediction of squeak and rattle sounds in the pre-design-freeze phases of a car development process are not yet sufficiently mature. The complexity of the squeak and rattle events, the existing knowledge gap about the mechanisms behind the squeak and rattle sounds, the lack of accurate simulation and post-processing methods, as well as the computational cost of complex simulations are some of the significant hurdles in this immaturity. This research addresses this problem by identifying a framework for the prediction of squeak and rattle sounds based on a cause-and-effect diagram. The main domains and the elements and the sub-contributors to the problem in each domain within this framework are determined through literature studies, field explorations and descriptive studies conducted on the subject. Further, improvement suggestions for the squeak and rattle evaluation and prediction methods are proposed through prescriptive studies. The applications of some of the proposed methods in the automotive industry are demonstrated and examined in industrial problems. The outcome of this study enhances the understanding of some of the parameters engaged in the squeak and rattle generation. Simulation methods are proposed to actively involve the contributing factors studied in this work for squeak and rattle risk evaluation. To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the risk evaluation process, methods were investigated and proposed for the system excitation efficiency, modelling accuracy and efficiency and quantification of the response in the time and frequency domains. The demonstrated simulation methods besides the improved understanding of the mechanisms behind the phenomenon can facilitate a more accurate and robust prediction of squeak and rattle risk during the pre-design-freeze stages of the car development.

  • Numerical Investigation of the Aeroelastic Behavior of a Wind Turbine with Iced Blades
  • 2019
  • In: Energies. - : MDPI. - 1996-1073. ; 12:12
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Wind turbines installed in cold-climate regions are prone to the risks of ice accumulation which affects their aeroelastic behavior. The studies carried out on this topic so far considered icing in a few sections of the blade, mostly located in the outer part of the blade, and their influence on the loads and power production of the turbine are only analyzed. The knowledge about the influence of icing in different locations of the blade and asymmetrical icing of the blades on loads, power, and vibration behavior of the turbine is still not matured. To improve this knowledge, multiple simulation cases are needed to run with different ice accumulations on the blade considering structural and aerodynamic property changes due to ice. Such simulations can be easily run by automating the ice shape creation on aerofoil sections and two-dimensional (2-D) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of those sections. The current work proposes such methodology and it is illustrated on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5 MW baseline wind turbine model. The influence of symmetrical icing in different locations of the blade and asymmetrical icing of the blade assembly is analyzed on the turbine’s dynamic behavior using the aeroelastic computer-aided engineering tool FAST. The outer third of the blade produces about 50% of the turbine’s total power and severe icing in this part of the blade reduces power output and aeroelastic damping of the blade’s flapwise vibration modes. The increase in blade mass due to ice reduces its natural frequencies which can be extracted from the vibration responses of the turbine operating under turbulent wind conditions. Symmetrical icing of the blades reduces loads acting on the turbine components, whereas asymmetrical icing of the blades induces loads and vibrations in the tower, hub, and nacelle assembly at a frequency synchronous to rotational speed of the turbine.

  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Hydropower still faces complex scientific and technical challenges in order to secure the availability and reliability of the power plants despite more than a century of development. The main challenge is due to new market constrains such as electrical market deregulation and introduction of renewable sources of energy. The major problem is related to the dynamic of the rotor involving several fields: hydraulics, power engineering and mechanics. On the other side, the large and growing hydropower world market represents an opportunity for technically advanced companies offering better efficiency. The difficulty to scale rigorously any technical advance makes full-scale experiment a necessity. World unique facilities are available at Porjus, Sweden, for this purpose. The Porjus Hydropower Centre is composed of a Francis (U8) and a Kaplan (U9) turbine of 10 MW, each exclusively dedicated to education, research and development. In order to further investigate specific issues related to availability and reliability, a project was initiated in 2006. The main objective is to make U9 a full-scale hydropower laboratory able firstly to furnish the necessary data for the development of rotor-dynamic models but also turbines and bearings. To this purposes more than 200 sensors have been installed to measure displacements, forces, pressure, film thickness, strains... The work presents an overview of the newly upgrade facility as well as some of the problems faced during the instrumentation of the machine.

  • Dependency of cohesive laws of a structural adhesive in Mode-I and Mode-II loading on moisture, freeze-thaw cycling, and their synergy
  • 2017
  • In: Materials and Design. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-4197 .- 0264-1275. ; 122, s. 433-447
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In recent years, adhesive bonding has found its way to construction applications such as bridges. Given the harsh conditions that such structures are usually exposed to, it is necessary to account for environmental factors, particularly moisture and temperature, in the design phase. Cohesive zone modelling has attracted much attention in the last decade as a promising method to design adhesive joints. Despite this interest, the effects of moisture and thermal cycles on cohesive laws have not been investigated to the knowledge of the authors. In this paper, we present a method to directly measure the environmental-dependent cohesive laws of a structural adhesive loaded in pure Mode-I and Mode-II. Special consideration is given to overcome issues such as the time-consuming nature of moisture ingression and specimen dimensions, which could be problematic due to the size-limitations of conditioning equipment. The accuracy of this method was verified through simulation of the experiments using the finite element analysis. The effects of exposure to 95% relative humidity, immersion in saltwater and distilled water, and freeze-thaw cycles in the presence or absence of moisture were investigated. The results indicate the damaging effects of combined saltwater and freeze-thaw cycles which were clearly reflected on the shape of the cohesive laws.

  • Improved Power Predictions of Ships Using Combined CFD/EFD Methods for the Form Factor
  • 2020
  • Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Performance prediction of a ship is one of the most important tasks during the design phase. Once the design is finalized, the speed attained at a certain power consumption has to be verified with the most accurate prediction as it is specified at the contract of a new ship order and also required by the legal authorities. Considering the current commercial tendencies and the requirements enforced by legal authorities, towing tank testing and the extrapolation methods recommended by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) are used and regarded as a highly accurate power prediction methodology for common cargo vessels. However, some aspects of this methodology have been questioned such as the scale effects on the form factor and its determination method. It is argued in this thesis that if a part of the Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) based measure or the extrapolation procedure causes higher uncertainty than the numerical uncertainty and modelling errors of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) application, the corresponding part of the performance prediction method can be replaced or supplemented by CFD. In this study, the possibility to improve the power predictions by the introduction of a combined CFD/EFD Method was investigated by replacing the experimental determination of the form factor with double body computations based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, i.e. CFD based form factors. As a result of a joint, study where the double body simulations performed with seven different CFD codes, the CFD based form factors compared well with the experimentally determined form factors. Additionally, the standard deviations of the CFD based form factors were similar to the experimental uncertainty of the form factors even though the abundance of unsystematically varied methods and grids. Following the Quality Assurance Procedure proposed by the ITTC, a best practice guideline has been derived for the CFD based form factor determination method by applying systematic variations to the CFD set-ups. After the verification and validation of the CFD based form factor method in model scale, the full scale speed-power-rpm relations between large number of speed trials and full scale predictions were investigated using the CFD based form factors in combination to the ITTC-57 line and the numerical friction lines. It is observed that the usage of CFD based form factors improves the predictions in general and no deterioration in the prediction accuracy is noted within the limits of this study. Therefore, the combination of EFD and CFD is expected to provide immediate improvements to the 1978 ITTC Performance Prediction Method.

    • The effects of a gasoline spray impinging on a heated surface were investigated under simulated engine conditions in an earlier study. The data from the experimental investigation have now been compared to results obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations generated using several different numerical models for spray-wall impingement found in the literature. It was found that the models based on single-drop experiments do not predict the outcome of spray impingement well in some respects. Their major drawback was that the predicted diameter distributions of the reflected drops in the secondary spray were shifted downwards from the measured drop size distributions. The tested models predicted the normal velocity component relative to the wall well. However, they were less good at capturing the tangential velocity component relative to the wall. Since the models did not capture the velocities in the tangential direction correctly, the spread of the secondary spray above the wall was under-predicted.

  • In: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Turbulence, Heat and Mass Transfer. - 2377-2816. ; 2018-July, s. 731-734
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Recent experiments [1, 2] in the wake of a simplified heavy vehicle (also know as a ground transportation system (GTS)) have shown that the flow topology remains invariant over a large range of Reynolds numbers [3.8 × 10 4 − 2.8 × 10 6 ]. This allows numerical techniques such as large eddy simulations (LES) to accurately predict the flow topology at low Reynolds numbers. While LES requires grids of higher spatial resolution; hybrid RANS/LES turbulence models are an alternate choice, where, accurate prediction of the flow is possible on coarser grids ([3, 4]). Numerical simulations are performed using LES and a hybrid turbulence model - partially-averaged Navier–Stokes (PANS) equations at Re H = 3.8 × 10 4 for a unified tractor-trailer geometry to compare the flow topologies in the near wake. The influence of the numerical schemes on the flow topology in the symmetry plane which is susceptible to bi-stable flow is investigated using PANS, and compared with the results from LES.

  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Actuator line and disc techniques are employed to analyse the wake obtained in the New Mexico wind turbine experiment. The New Mexico measurement campaign done in 2014 is a follow-up to the MEXICO campaign, which was completed in 2006. Three flow configurations in axial flow condition are simulated and both computed loads and velocity fields around the rotor are compared with detailed PIV measurements. The comparisons show that the computed loadings are generally in agreement with the measurements under the rotor's design condition. Both actuator approaches under-predicted the loading in the inboard part of blade in stall condition as only 2D airfoil data were used in the simulations. The predicted wake velocities generally agree well with the PIV measurements. In the experiment, PIV measurements are also provided close to the hub and nacelle. To study the effect of hub and nacelle, numerical simulations are performed both in the presence and absence of the hub geometry. This study shows that the large hub used in the experiment has only small effects on overall wake behaviour.

    • The wind turbine dynamics are complex and critical area of study for the wind industry. Quantification of the effective factors to wind turbine performance is valuable for making improvements to both power performance and turbine health. In this paper, the global sensitivity analysis of validated mathematical model for high speed shaft drive train test rig has been developed in order to evaluate the contribution of systems input parameters to the specified objective functions.Thedrive train in this study consists of a 3- phase induction motor, flexible shafts, shafts’ coupling, bearing housing, and disk with an eccentric mass.The governing equations were derived by using the Lagrangian formalism and were solved numerically by Newmark method. The variance based global sensitivity indices are introduced to evaluate the contribution of input structural parameters correlated to the objective functions. The conclusion from the current research provides informative beneficial data in terms of design and optimization of a drive train setup and also can provide better understanding of wind turbine drive train system dynamics with respect to different structural parameters, ultimately designing more efficient drive trains. Finally, the proposed global sensitivity analysis (GSA) methodology demonstrates the detectability of faults in different components.

  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The proposed paper addresses the problem of modeling and analysis of controlled multibody systems with embedded magnetostrictive transducers. Main emphasis is put on the modeling of the considered mechatronic systems for applications in the field of power harvesting from vibrations, namely vibration-to-electric energy conversion, using novel giant magnetostrictive materials. Mathematical model of the considered mechatronic system has been developed. It comprises the constitutive equations of magnetoelastic behavior of magnetostrictive rod (active element of transducers), standard formulae of electromagnetism for induced voltage and current in the pick-up coil due to variation of magnetic field intensity, and finally the equations of motion of multibody system itself. The last one can be derived using one of the well-known multibody dynamics formalism. Assuming that massinertia parameters of magnetostrictive transducers are negligible small the inverse dynamics based algorithm has been proposed for modeling the controlled motion of multibody systems with embedded transducers. This algorithm is also suitable to evaluate electrical power output of magnetostrictive electric generators for different controlled motions of the system and to optimize the generators design. The inverse dynamics based algorithm was implemented in Matlab/Simulink with user friendly interface. Its efficiency has been confirmed by simulation of performance of different magnetostrictive electric generators under the periodic excitations exerted by the hosting multibody system.

  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper is concerned with the investigation of multi-link mechanism controlled mo­tion between fixed boundary conditions and given constraints on the phase coordinates. The mo­­duli of the controlling moments at the hinges between the links are bounded. A com­pu­ta­ti­o­nal method to the mathematical modeling of the optimal control laws which govern multi-link mechanism reaching motion is presented. This method is based on Fourier and spline appro­xi­ma­tions of the independently variable functions and inverse-dynamics approach. The me­­thod proposed makes it possible to satisfy the boundary conditions and some constraints on the phase coordinates automatically and accurately. The efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by the solution of the energy-optimal control problem of a plane mobile three-link manipulator with a load on the grip.

  • A multi-fidelity data-driven model for highly accurate and computationally efficient modeling of short fiber composites
  • 2024
  • In: Composites Science and Technology. - 0266-3538. ; 246
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • To develop physics-based models and establish a structure–property relationship for short fiber composites, there are a wide range of micro-structural properties to be considered. To achieve a high accuracy, high-fidelity full-field simulations are required. These simulations are computationally very expensive, and any single analysis could potentially take days to finish. A solution for this issue is to develop surrogate models using artificial neural networks. However, generating a high-fidelity data set requires a huge amount of time. To solve this problem, we used transfer learning technique, a limited amount of high-fidelity full-field simulations, together with a previously developed recurrent neural network model trained on low-fidelity mean-field data. The new RNN model has a very high accuracy (in comparison with full-field simulations) and is remarkably efficient. This model can be used not only for highly efficient modeling purposes, but also for designing new short fiber composites.

  • Dynamic Equations foe Spherical and Cylindrical Shells Using Power Series Method
  • 2013
  • Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Shells are commonly used in many branches of engineeringand have therefore beeninvestigated for a number of different types of shells.A shell can be considered as a curved plate having small thickness compared to the other geometrical dimensions as well as to the wavelengths of importance. The most important superiority of shells in comparison to plates is that shell structures can provide high strength and low weight because of their membrane stiffness.Spherical and cylindrical shells appear in manyapplicationsand some dynamic shell theories have thus been developed for these cases.All these theories seem to depend on more or less ad hoc kinematical assumptions and/orother approximations.In this thesis, dynamic equations for an isotropic spherical and an anisotropic cylindrical shell are derived by using a method developed during the last decade for bars, plates, and beams.The main advantage with the method is that it is very systematic and can be developed to any order. It also seems that the resulting structural equations are asymptotically correct to any order.First, dynamic equations are derived for a spherical shell made of a homogeneous, isotropic material.The starting point is a power series expansion of the displacement components in the thickness coordinate relative to the mid-surface of the shell. By using these expansions, the three-dimensional elastodynamic equations yield a set of recursion relations among the expansion functions.Applying the boundary conditions on the surfaces of the spherical shell and eliminating all but the six lowest order expansion functions give the shell equations as a power series in the shell thickness.In principle, the equations can be truncated to any order in the shell thickness, leading to very complicated expressions. Surface differential operators are introduced to decrease the length of the shell equations and tackle this complexity.the displacement field is split into a scalar (radial) part and a vector (tangential) part, and the shell equations are given in terms of the surface operators. After some manipulations, the final four shell equations are obtained in a more compact form which can be presented explicitly.Dynamic equations for an anisotropic cylindrical shell are also derived using the same technique. As a special case a 2D circular ring is considered and the eigenfrequencies are computed and are compared with the exact solution which is obtained by expressing the displacements in terms of Bessel and Neumann functions. Graphite epoxy is considered as an anisotropic material.For all cases, results are compared to exact three-dimensional theory. The computations for eigenfrequencies from the power series approximation are in good correspondence with results from the exact solution.

  • Squeak and rattle prevention by geometric variation management using a two-stage evolutionary optimisation approach
  • 2020
  • In: ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Proceedings (IMECE). ; 2B-2020
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Squeak and rattle are annoying sounds that often are regarded as the indicators for defects and quality issues by the automotive customers. Among the major causes for the generation of squeak and rattle sounds, geometric variation or tolerance stack-up is a key contributor. In the assembly process, the dimensional variation in critical interfaces for generating squeak and rattle events can be magnified due to tolerance stackup. One provision to manage the tolerance stack-up in these critical interfaces is to optimise the location of connectors between parts in an assembly. Hence, the focus of this work is to prevent squeak and rattle by introducing a geometric variation management approach to be used in the design phase in the automotive industry. The objective is to identify connection configurations that result in minimum variation and deviation in selected measure points from the critical interfaces for squeak and rattle. In this study, a two-stage evolutionary optimisation scheme, based on the genetic algorithm employing the elitism pool, is introduced to fine-tune the connectors’ configuration in an assembly. The objective function was defined as the variation and the deviation in the normal direction and the squeak plane. In the first stage, the location of one-dimensional connectors was found by minimising the objective function in the rattle direction. In the second stage, the best combination of some of the connectors from the first stage was found to define planar fasteners to optimise the objective function both in the rattle direction and the squeak plane. It was shown that by using the proposed two-stage optimisation scheme, the variation and deviation results in critical interfaces for squeak and rattle improved compared to the baseline results.

    • Heat transfer within the turbocharger is an issue in engine simulation based on zero and one-dimensional gas dynamics. Turbocharged engine simulation is often done without taking into account the heat transfer in the turbocharger. In the simulation, using multipliers is the common way of adjusting turbocharger speed and parameters downstream of the compressor and upstream of the turbine. However, they do not represent the physical reality. The multipliers change the maps and need often to be different for different load points. The aim of this paper is to simulate a turbocharged engine and also consider heat transfer in the turbocharger. To be able to consider heat transfer in the turbine and compressor, heat is transferred from the turbine volute and into the compressor scroll. Additionally, the engine simulation was done by using two different turbocharger performance maps of a turbocharger measured under cold and hot conditions. The turbine inlet temperatures were 100 and 600°C, respectively. The turbocharged engine experiment was performed on a water-oil-cooled turbocharger (closed waste-gate), which was installed on a 2-liter gasoline direct-injected engine with variable valve timing, for different load points of the engine. In the work described in this paper, the difference between cold and hot-measured turbocharger performance maps is discussed and the quantified heat transfers from the turbine and to/from the compressor are interpreted and related to the maps.

  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The adverse effect of transient torque reversals (TTRs) оп wind turЬine gearboxes сап Ье severe due to their magnitude and rapid occurrence compared with other equipment. The primary damage is caused to the bearings as the bearing loaded zone rapidly changes its direction. Other components are also affected Ьу TTRs (such as gear tooth); however, its impact оп bearings is the largest. While the occurrence and severity of TTRs are acknowledged in the industry, there is а lack of academic litera­ture оп their initiation, propagation and the associated risk of damage. Furthermore, in the wide range of operation modes of а wind turЬine, it is not known which modes сап lead to TTRs. Further, the interdependence of TTRs оп environmental loading like the wind is also not reported. This paper aims to address these unknowns Ьу expanding оп the understanding of TTRs using а high-fidelity numerical model of an indirect drive wind turЬine with а douЬly fed induction generator (DFIG). То this end, а multibody model of the drivetrain is developed in SIMPACK. The model of the drivetrain is explicitly coupled to state-of-the-art wind turЬine simulator OpenFAST and а grid-connected DFIG developed in MATLAB®'s Simulink® allowing а coupled analysis of the electromechanical system. А metric termed slip risk duration is pro­posed in this paper to quantify the risk associated with the TTRs. The paper first investigates а wide range of IEC design load cases to uncover which load cases сап lead to TTRs. lt was found that emergency stops and symmetric grid voltage drops сап lead to TTRs. Next, the dependence of the TTRs оп inflow wind parameters is investigated using а sensitivity analysis. lt was found that the instantaneous wind speed at the onset of the grid fault or emergency shutdown was the most influential factor in the slip risk duration. The investigation enaЫes the designer to predict the occurrence of TTRs and quantify the associated risk of damage. The paper concludes with recommendations for utility-scale wind turЬines and directions for future research.

  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The present paper describes a method for non-destructive testing of the glass strength. Square 10 × 10 cm2 samples of annealed float glass was inflicted with a controlled defect in the centre of the atmospheric side using Vickers microindentation-induced cracking with a force of 2 N, 5 N and 10 N and compared to an un-indented reference. The samples were non-destructively tested using a nonlinear acoustic wave method resulting in defect values. The average of the defect values was found to linearly correlate to the indentation force in a log–log relationship. The samples were subsequently tested in a ring-on-ring setup that allows for an equibiaxial stress state. The indentation-induced cracking gave practically realistic strength values in the range of 45 to 110 MPa. The individual sample values for failure stress as a function of normalized defect value show linear trends with approximately half of the data within 95% confidence limit. In summary, this study provides an initial proof-of-concept for a non-destructive testing of the strength of glass.

  • Demonstration of Air-Fuel Ratio Role in One-Stage Turbocompound Diesel Engines
  • 2013
  • In: SAE Technical Papers. - 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA, United States : SAE International.
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • A large portion of fuel energy is wasted through the exhaust of internal combustion engines. Turbocompound can, however, recover part of this wasted heat. The energy recovery depends on the turbine efficiency and mass flow as well as the exhaust gas state and properties such as pressure, temperature and specific heat capacity.The main parameter influencing the turbocompound energy recovery is the exhaust gas pressure which leads to higher pumping loss of the engine and consequently lower engine crankshaft power. Each air-fuel equivalence ratio (λ) gives different engine power, exhaust gas temperature and pressure. Decreasing λ toward 1 in a Diesel engine results in higher exhaust gas temperatures of the engine.  λ can be varied by changing the intake air pressure or the amount of injected fuel which changes the available energy into the turbine. Thus, there is a compromise between gross engine power, created pumping power, recovered turbocompound power and consumed compressor power.In this study, the effects of different λ values and exhaust back-pressure have been investigated on the efficiency of a heavy-duty Diesel engine equipped with a single-stage electric turbocompounding. A one-dimensional gas dynamics model of a turbocharged engine was utilized that was validated against measurements at different load points. Two configurations of turbocompound engine were made. In one configuration an electric turbocharger was used and the amount of fuel was varied with constant intake air pressure. In another configuration the turbocharger turbine and compressor were disconnected to be able to control the turbine speed and the compressor speed independently; then the compressor pressure ratio was varied with constant engine fuelling and the exhaust back-pressure was optimized for each compressor pressure ratio.At each constant turbine efficiency there is a linear relation between the optimum exhaust back-pressure and ideally expanded cylinder pressure until bottom dead center with closed exhaust valves. There is an optimum λ for the turbocharged engine with regard to the fuel consumption. In the turbocompound engine, this will be moved to a richer λ that gives the best total specific fuel consumption; however, the results of this study indicates that turbocompound engine efficiency is relatively insensitive to the air-fuel ratio.

  • Temperature Estimation of Turbocharger Working Fluids and Walls under Different Engine Loads and Heat Transfer Conditions
  • 2013
  • In: SAE Technical Papers. - 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA, United States : SAE International.
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Turbocharger performance maps, which are used in engine simulations, are usually measured on a gas-stand where the temperatures distributions on the turbocharger walls are entirely different from that under real engine operation. This should be taken into account in the simulation of a turbocharged engine. Dissimilar wall temperatures of turbochargers give different air temperature after the compressor and different exhaust gas temperature after the turbine at a same load point. The efficiencies are consequently affected. This can lead to deviations between the simulated and measured outlet temperatures of the turbocharger turbine and compressor. This deviation is larger during a transient load step because the temperatures of turbocharger walls change slowly due to the thermal inertia. Therefore, it is important to predict the temperatures of turbocharger walls and the outlet temperatures of the turbocharger working fluids in a turbocharged engine simulation.In the work described in this paper, a water-oil-cooled turbocharger was extensively instrumented with several thermocouples on reachable walls. The turbocharger was installed on a 2-liter gasoline engine that was run under different loads and different heat transfer conditions on the turbocharger by using insulators, an extra cooling fan, radiation shields and water-cooling settings. The turbine inlet temperature varied between 550 and 850 °C at different engine loads.The results of this study show that the temperatures of turbocharger walls are predictable from the experiment. They are dependent on the load point and the heat transfer condition of the turbocharger. The heat transfer condition of an on-engine turbocharger could be defined by the turbine inlet temperature, ambient temperature, oil heat flux, water heat flux and the velocity of the air around the turbocharger. Thus, defining the heat transfer condition and rotational speed of the turbocharger provides temperatures predictions of the turbocharger walls and the working fluids. This prediction enables increased precision in engine simulation for future work in transient operation.

  • Considering the Effects of Turbine Blade Cooling on Engine Performance Estimation
  • 2017
  • In: Proceedings of the 23rd ISABE conference 2017.
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In gas turbines, a way to improve the engine performance is by increasing the Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT). However, increasing TIT causes an increase in heat load of turbine components. A limit in the performance improvement is imposed by the permissible metal temperature. Engine running above the melting point of material might be achieved only by cooling turbine components or using Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC). This thermal management must be done to ensure safe and durable engine operation. The most common method to cool turbine components is bleed a portion of the compressor airflow and inject it on blades and disks. Unfortunately, the extraction has an adverse effect on engine performance compared with engine without bleed. In this paper, the cooling effects on engine performance estimation at preliminary design was analyzed. The engine configuration used in the study is a turboshaft – single spool gas turbine engine. The coolant parameters are estimated using the method developed by Young and Wilcock. The results showed that there is a marked difference on performance for uncooled and cooled turbine blades, highlighting the importance in considering the cooling on performance estimation since design preliminary phase. Ignoring the cooling in evaluation can cause up to 15% difference in net specific work.

  • Off-Design Performance Investigation of a Low Calorific Value Gas Fired Generic-Type Single-Shaft Gas Turbine.
  • 2008

  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • When low calorific value gases are fired, the performance and stability of gas turbines may deteriorate due to a large amount of inertballast and changes in working fluid properties. Since it is rather rare to have custom-built gas turbines for low lower heating value (LHV) operation, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. This, in turn, poses limitations to usable fuel choices. Typical restraints are decrease in Wobbe index and surge and flutter margins for turbomachinery. In this study, an advanced performance deck has been used to quantify the impact of firing low-LHV gases in a generic-type recuperated as well as unrecuperated gas turbine. A single-shaft gas turbine characterized by a compressor and an expander map is considered. Emphasis has been put on predicting the off-design behavior. The combustor is discussed and related to previous experiments that include investigation of flammability limits, Wobbe index, flame position, etc. The computations show that at constant turbine inlet temperature, the shaft power and the pressure ratio will increase; however, the surge margin will decrease. Possible design changes in the component level are also discussed. Aerodynamic issues (and necessary modifications) that can pose severe limitations on the gas turbine compressor and turbine sections are discussed. Typical methods for axial turbine capacity adjustment are presented and discussed.

  • MULTICOMPONENT SPRAY-TURBULENCE INTERACTION
  • 2018
  • Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Blended fuels are gaining importance in automotive industry owing to stringent legislations for emissions. It is important to understand the fuel spray formed as a consequence of injecting blended fuels into the engine (for direct injection engines) and also the influence of fuel spray on combustion properties. Fuel sprays are sought to be understood by formulating and modelling the physical processes involved in its formation and testing the predictions obtained from models using computer simulations. Complementing this procedure, experiments are performed under predefined boundary conditions either in single or multi cylinder engines or in constant volume spray chambers when deeper insight into sprays is required. The experiments are used to validate the models and also report any newly observed physical phenomenon which can be then investigated using the models. This work presents the computaional and modelling efforts for multicomponent fuel sprays whose behavior is studied in constant volume combustion vessel. Lagrangian-Eulerian framework is followed where the liquid fuel is modelled using Lagrangian approach and the gas phase is modelled using Eulerian approach. The focus of this work is on Lagrangian liquid phase modelling and it's interactions with the gas phase. The spray modelling is done using VSB2 stochastic blob and bubble (VSB2) model which is developed with the aim of minimising tuning parameters by treating spray and it's submodels as one entity. The VSB2 model also removes overshoot or undershoot in predicted quantities by using relaxation equations based on thermodynamic equilibrium. The methods for modelling secondary breakup, evaporation and momentum transfer of liquid droplets are outlined in this work. Specifically computational method for differential evaporation in multicomponent fuel sprays is discussed. The VSB2 model is validated against experiments performed in constant volume combustion vessels for multicomponent fuel sprays. Differential evaporation was predicted corrrectly by the model within acceptable limits when compared to experiments on component gasoline-diesel fuel blend. Effects of non-ideal vapor liquid equilibrium on multicomponent fuel evaporation of ethanol and iso-octane blend was also studied, and the predictions showed reasonable agreement with experiment. Ethanol was observed to have a strong influence on iso-octane and deviation from ideal behavior was strong for higher ethanol percentage and in these cases ideal vapor liquid equilibrium was seen to predict incorrect results.

  • Multiparameter Solution methods for semi-structured aeroelastic flutter problems
  • 2017
  • In: AIAA Journal. - 1533-385X .- 0001-1452. ; 55:10, s. 3530-3538
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper presents several new methods for the solution of aeroelastic flutter problems with a partial polynomial structure: problems consisting of a mix of polynomial and more complex nonlinear components. The focus is particularly on systems that use Theodorsen aerodynamics: for such systems, four new solution algorithms are devised. Two of these are direct but yield approximate results, and two are iterative. These algorithms are tested on an example system, and their computational characteristics are investigated and discussed. Three of them are suitable for practical implementation; the fourth is too computationally intensive to be of great practical use. Extensions and improvements to these algorithms, and the overall methods used, are also discussed.

  • Near-wall approximations to speed up simulations for atmosphere boundary layers in the presence of forests using lattice Boltzmann method on GPU
  • 2022
  • Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Forests play an important role in influencing the wind resource in atmospheric boundary layers and the fatigue life of wind turbines. Due to turbulence, a difficulty in the simulation of the forest effects is that flow statistical and fluctuating content should be accurately resolved using a turbulence-resolved CFD method, which requires a large amount of computing time and resources. In this paper, we demonstrate a fast but accurate simulation platform that uses a lattice Boltzmann method with large eddy simulation on Graphic Processing Units (GPU). The simulation tool is the open-source program, GASCANS, developed at the University of Manchester. The simulation platform is validated based on canonical wall-bounded turbulent flows. A forest is modelled in the form of body forces injected near the wall. Since a uniform cell size is applied throughout the computational domain, the averaged first-layer cell height over the wall reaches to ⟨Δy+⟩=165. Simulation results agree well with previous experiments and numerical data obtained from finite volume methods. We demonstrate that good results are possible without the use of a wall-function, since the forest forces overwhelm wall friction. This is shown to hold as long as the forest region is resolved with several cells. In addition to the GPU speedup, the approximations also significantly benefit the computation efficiency.

  • Identification of the full anisotropic flow resistivity tensor for multiple glass wool and melamine foam samples
  • 2013
  • In: Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. - : Acoustical Society of America (ASA). - 0001-4966 .- 1520-8524. ; 134:6, s. 4659-4669
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The flow resistivity tensor, which is the inverse of the viscous permeability tensor, is one of the most important material properties for the acoustic performance of porous materials used in acoustic treatments. Due to the manufacturing processes involved, these porous materials are most often geometrically anisotropic on a microscopic scale, and for demanding applications, there is a need for improved characterization methods. This paper discusses recent refinements of a method for the identification of the anisotropic flow resistivity tensor. The inverse estimation is verified for three fictitious materials with different degrees of anisotropy. Measurements are performed on nine glass wool samples and seven melamine foam samples, and the anisotropic flow resistivity tensors obtained are validated by comparison to measurements performed on uni-directional cylindrical samples, extracted from the same, previously measured cubic samples. The variability of flow resistivity in the batch of material from which the glass wool is extracted is discussed. The results for the melamine foam suggest that there is a relation between the direction of highest flow resistivity, and the rise direction of the material.

  • Inverse estimation of static flow resistivity in porous materials : discussion of the method and results for two tested porous materials
  • 2011
  • Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Porous materials are widely used in applications which focus on noise andvibration control. Their thermal, mechanical and acoustical properties arebenecial for the use of these materials in aeronautical and vehicle industries.Standard measurements for the characterization of porous materials exist andare carried out in many laboratories worldwide. However, these measurementsdo not always consider the possible anisotropy, present in porous materials.The production process of porous materials introduces an inherent geometricanisotropy in the material at micro scale, which in uences the materialproperties at macro scale. It has been shown by Khurana et al. [3] thatthe anisotropy can have a signicant in uence on the acoustical behaviourof the material, especially if the angle of incidence is increased. One ofthe macroscopic parameters, which is important for the performance ofthese material in acoustical applications, is the static ow resistivity. Themethodology to measure the ow resistivity in porous materials is described inISO 9053 [2], giving the ow resistivity of a porous material along one direction.These unidirectional measurements do not allow for a full characterization ofthe ow resistivity tensor, and hence a proper characterization of the porousmaterial. The identication method developed by Goransson et al. [1] providesa non-destructive measurement method to determine the static ow resistivitytensor. The method is based on an inverse estimation of the measured pressure drops over a cubic material sample.The method as described in the work of Goransson et al. [1] has beenimproved in several ways. The Globally Convergent Method of MovingAsymptotes (GCMMA) [5] , which assures convergence, has replaced theMethod of Moving Asymptotes (MMA) [4]. Secondly, the approach of inverseestimation has been veried for a wide range of anisotropy, by setting articialand a priori known anisotropic ow resistivity tensors as a target in theestimation. Furthermore, another approach towards the problem has beentested, in which the focus is on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the tensor,in stead of the independent components. In addition, a more precise descriptionof the errors will be presented as well as an error estimation.This method for identication of the anisotropic ow resistivity tensorhas been applied to two dierent porous materials, a brous glass wool anda Melamine foam. The two materials are expected to show dierent degreesof anisotropy with respect to ow resistivity. Glass wool is assumed to betransversely isotropic while the level of anisotropy of Melamine is not asobvious. The full anisotropic ow resistivity tensors of the tested glass wooland Melamine samples are presented, together with their principal valuesand directions. The eigenvalue decomposition provides an insight into theconnection between the directionality of the ow resistivity in each material,and its production process. The overall approach of the method is validated bycomparing the estimated ow resistivity tensors to the ow resistivity measuredin cylindrical samples extracted from the cubic samples tested. Furthermore, astudy of the homogeneity in density and ow resistivity for the two materialsshows that these properties vary within the block of material.References[1] P. Goransson, R.

  • Measurement and Inverse Estimation of the Full Anisotropic Flow Resistivity Tensor of Glass Wool
  • 2010
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • The air flow resistivity of nine adjacent glass wool samples is measured and estimated using a previously published method. The samples are extracted from a large slab of glass wool material. Identifying the full flow resistivity tensors for nine adjacent cubic glass wool samples allows for an estimation of the spatial distribution of normal and planar flow resistivity throughout the measured material. The average density of the samples tested is 27.8 kg/m3. The estimated flow resistivity tensors are validated by comparison to uni-directional measurements on cylindrical samples, extracted from the cubic glass wool samples tested. Furthermore, the uni-directional measurement method is studied, providing useful insights on the effect of sample thickness on the measured flow resistivity for an anisotropic material.

  • Measurement and Inverse Estimation of the Full Anisotropic Flow Resistivity Tensor of Melamine Foam
  • 2010
  • Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • The flow resistivity tensor, which is the inverse of the viscous per- meability tensor, is one of the most important material properties for the acoustic performance of open cell foams used in acoustic treatments. Due to the manufacturing processes, these foams are most often geomet- rically anisotropic on a microscopic scale. For such a materials there is a need for improved characterisation methods, and this paper discusses the estimation of the flow resistivity tensor of Melamine samples using a methodology which is an improvement of a method previously published by Go ̈ransson et al. The validity of the new method is in addition ver- ified for a wider range of anisotropy. Measurements are performed on cubic Melamine samples, and the resulting 3D flow resistivity tensors are presented. The anisotropic flow resistivity tensors are validated by com- parison to measurements performed on uni-directional cylindrical samples extracted from the previously measured cubic samples. The results sug- gest that there is a relation between the direction of highest flow resistivity, and the rise direction of the material.

  • Drag reduction of ship airflow using steady Coanda effect
  • 2022
  • In: Ocean Engineering. - : Elsevier BV. - 0029-8018. ; 266
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper studies the steady Coanda effect for reducing the aerodynamic drag of the Chalmers ship model (CSM) using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) with Wall-Adapting Local-Eddy Viscosity (WALE) model. The flow control mechanism is explored, and the analysis of energy efficiency is conducted to evaluate the net benefit of the flow control. Validating the numerical methods, the predicted aerodynamic drag of the ship and pressure coefficients distribution on the baseline CSM agree well with the experimental measurements and the maximum discrepancy is 4.2%. In creating the flow control models, the hanger base of the baseline CSM is modified with a Coanda surface and two different sizes of jet-blowing slots, 1%h (hanger height) and 2%h, respectively. A drag reduction of 5.34% is achieved by the 1%h slot-size case. The 2%h slot-size case further increases the drag reduction to 6.22% but has doubled power consumption. It is found that vectoring vorticity towards the low-speed area on deck is effective for enhancing the energization. Finally, the analysis of energy efficiency indicates that the net benefit is achieved in both flow control cases, and the case with the 1%h slot size is 11.9% more efficient due to a stronger Coanda effect.

  • Assessment of URANS, SAS, and IDDES on the bi-stable wake flow of a generic ship
  • 2023
  • In: Ocean Engineering. - 0029-8018. ; 286
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The present study aims to assess the prediction ability of URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes), SAS (scale-adaptive simulation), and IDDES (improved delayed detached-eddy simulation) on the naturally asymmetric flow of a generic ship model. The inlet velocity gives a Reynolds number of 8 × 104 based on the ship width. Experimental results are used as the baseline to judge the accuracy of these modelling techniques. The findings indicate that all techniques can predict the flow asymmetry of the ship wake, although URANS is less accurate due to its inability to resolve small-scale flow structures. Furthermore, IDDES is found to be more accurate than SAS considering the extent of wake asymmetry. Therefore, IDDES is recommended when higher accuracy is needed despite its higher computational demand.

  • Structural Dynamics Control, Third Edition
  • 2020
  • Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Structural dynamics and especially one of its main problems, vibrations and vibration control, appear in vehicle engineering, high precision machines and mechanisms, robotics, civil engineering, wind turbines, biomechanics, and others. Over the last decades there has been much work concerned with the vibration control of different dynamical systems. The texbook “Structural Dynamics Control” aims at providing knowledge on modern methods and concepts of passive, semi-active and active vibration control, to cross the bridge between structural dynamics and control engineering, while providing an overview of the potential of smart materials, (magnetorheological fluids, magnetostrictive materials, and others), for sensing and actuating purposes in active vibration control. One of the aims of this textbook is to provide students and engineers with opportunity of becoming familiar with the standard methods of the classical calculus of variations, the linear quadratic regulator optimization methods, and modern optimal control theory with focus on their applications in structural dynamics for vibration attenuation and vibration suppression problems. The textbook consists of four main parts: Vibration dynamics, Passive and semi-active vibration control, Active and hybrid vibration control, and Applications. The textbook ends with the supplementary mathematics, list of Matlab codes and answers and hints for the exercises. The list of references consists of only those books and scientific papers which were used during preparation of the textbook or which have been recommended to stundents for additional information on a studied topic. The textbook is aimed at first towards graduate and postgraduate students following Master and PhD programmes related to structural dynamics, mechatronics, control engineering, automotive engineering, noise and vibrations. The only prerequisite for reading this book is basic knowledge in mechanics and some familiarity with vibrations, state space models and automatic control.
