Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are being applied as a faster alternative to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for wind turbine engineering wake models. Unfortunately, ANNs can fail to generalize if the data is insufficient. Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) can improve convergence while lowering the required data amounts. This paper inve...
Lors de sa rentrée dans l’atmosphère, la surface de la pointe avant d’un véhicule spatial est soumise à des pressions et des flux thermiques très intenses (parfois supérieurs à 10 MW/m 2 ). Afin de garantir l’intégrité du corps de rentrée dans de telles conditions, des systèmes de protection thermique, généralement à base de matériaux céramiques, o...
The analytical modelling of complex turbulent airflow remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of physics, but in this paper two widely used Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes models (k-$\epsilon$ and k-$\omega$ SST) are compared while designing a heat exchanger for the KTH Formula Student electric race car. CAD software was used to design lattices...
In the event of a radioactive release in an urban environment the consequent response mustbe swift and precise. As soon as first responders have correct information, they can make anaccurate risk assessment. However, if the position, release rate and time of the radioactiverelease is unknown it is hard to know how the pollutant will spread. This th...
Aerodynamic characteristics of various geometries are predicted using a finite element formulation coupled with several numerical techniques to ensure stability and accuracy of the method. First, an edge based error estimator and anisotropic mesh adaptation are used to detect automatically all flow features under the constraint of a fixed number of...
Optimal process control can significantly enhance energy efficiency of heating and cooling processes in many industries. Process control systems typically rely on measurements and so called grey or black box models that are based mainly on empirical correlations, in which the transient characteristics and their influence on the control parameters a...
The thesis deals with the flow in pipe bends and radial turbines geometries that are commonly found in an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). The development phase of internal combustion engines relies more and more on simulations as an important complement to experiments. This is partly because of the reduction in development cost and the shortening...
La difficulté principale de réaliser la simulation numérique d'un écoulement turbulent à haut nombre de Reynolds est de préserver la capture des effets instationnaires sans induire un coût de calcul prohibitif. Nous avons, tout d'abord, exhibé les principaux défauts des simulations des grandes échelles avec un modèle de paroi standard dans une conf...
Les méthodes actuelles de calcul instationnaire des équations de Navier-Stokes (Simulation Numérique Directe (SND), Simulation des Grandes Echelles (SGE)) demandent encore un temps de calcul excessif pour pouvoir être utilisées à des fins industrielles. D'autre part, les méthodes statistiques (RANS) moins coûteuses, ne permettent pas de rendre comp...
