The design and integration of the propulsion system is known to be an interesting, multi-disciplinary challenge in aircraft design projects. Especially for new aircraft configurations, it is important to gain a lot of knowledge in the preliminary design stages. An example of such an unconventional configuration is the box-wing aircraft examined...

Cavitating tip vortices of marine propellers are the main contributors to underwater radiated ship noise due to their dynamic behavior and broadband sound spectrum. Experimentally, it is challenging to get a detailed insight into the vortex structure which makes it difficult to understand the noise generating mechanisms. Although Computational...

To increase the total wind farm power output, the wind farm layout needs to be optimized. The power output of a wind turbine depends on the incoming velocity, while the velocity is influenced by the wake of the upstream wind turbines. Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) problems makes use of the so called low fidelity wake models, which...

Aeroelastic stability must be maintained for the entire flight duration. Of the vast phenomena that fall under the field of aeroelasticity, flutter is the most studied and influential in terms of driving aircraft design. As such, it is the main topic of analysis of this Master Thesis. For flutter analysis, it is of critical importance to...

The efficiency of a wind turbine depends largely on the wake of the upstream turbine. Seeking to contribute towards the development of a wind farm solver using a Lagrangian scheme to analyze the wake, this thesis analyses and validates (using MATLAB) a Vortex Particle Method (VPM) algorithm by simulating the behavior of vortex rings. Due to the...

Verdonck, Hendrik (author)
Aircraft manufacturers have to prove a flutter free design for all operational cases within the complete flight envelope plus a safety margin. This certification process relies on validated flutter computations which have to be made for all flight conditions including variations in the aircraft's loading and failure cases. The aerodynamic...

The design of sails has always been done experimentally, and only recently simulations are starting to be used in the design process. This thesis is a first attempt in creating a solver that couples CFD and FEM in order to compute the deformed sail shape (flying shape) and the thrust it can provide. Such solvers already exist but are not...

The nuclear technology is changing at a rapid pace driven by the quest for more powerful and safer nuclear power plants, as a consequence several structural components in a reactor are becoming larger and slender while working fluids have higher densities and velocities. These changes can often alter the dynamics of the interaction between the...

Ground based experiments are used to understand and measure rotor and airframe aerodynamic performance. However, these experiments have certain limitations. The effect of these limitations are evaluated using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling techniques. Through this study, the 7- by 10-Foot Wind Tunnel experiments of the Large Civil...

Fluid-structure interactions (FSI) are multi-physical phenomena where the dynamics of a fluid flow and the dynamics of a moving/deforming structure influence one another simultaneously. The accurate modelling, simulation and analysis of FSI is crucial for many engineering applications. However, high-fidelity FSI simulations are currently too...

Children and adults suffering from Upper Airway Obstructions (UAOs) are nowadays examined using an invasive endoscopy. Because this diagnostic technique unavoidably exposes the patient to certain health risks, there exists a clear need for a non-intrusive diagnostic tool. Several research programs have been initiated that aim at the development...

Due to rapid advances in computer technology the field of computational aeroacoustics has become an alternative to empirical and experimental methods for the prediction of sound production and propagation. However, in order to provide numerical aeroacoustic predictions for realistic applications a hybrid approach is still often the only option....

Energy demand from wind greatly increases, as such more remote sites need to be explored in order to find good wind resources. These remote sites are driving the industry further offshore and therefore into extreme wind and sea conditions. This push towards extreme conditions requires technological advancements concerning the wind turbine loads,...

In this thesis the goal is to grow the fundamental understanding of the Shrink Sleeve Labeling process, speciffically on the steam tunnel equipment. The research is focused on the heat transfer phenomena of the ow on to the bottle. From literature was found that the problem could be split into 3 general domains: 1) free jet ow, 2) heat transfer...

The need for energy is an ever increasing problem and most resources that are used today will be exhausted or no longer tolerated by the human kind in the future Omer (2008). Anticipating on the energy demand the development of wind turbines has taken a big leap and to improve the design process efficient and accurate aerodynamic modelling is...

The computational modelling of fluid-structure interaction phenomena is currently gaining importance thanks to engineering design trends towards lighter and more exible structures. FSI simulations are important because they can predict potentially dangerous interaction instabilities and the performance of designs in their deformed shapes....

The continuous increase in fuel prices and stricter regulations on emissions have pushed the attention of truck designers into new areas to provide more fuel effcient solutions. The flow in the front wheelhouse is a relatively unexplored area, compared to studies on the shapes of the cabin, roof and trailer. However, it is known that the...
