▼ In this research two problem statements are defined, namely (1) the validity of the assumption that groynes and weirs are equivalent in hydraulic models, and (2) the difficulty of modelling groynes and weirs in the 3D numerical solver package OpenFOAM. Using the incompressible 3D Navier-Stokes equations solver for multiphase phase flows, the so-called interFoam solver un- der OpenFOAM framework, two different models are set up for tackling the two problem statements. The interFoam evaluation
model addressed the issues of computational mesh types which affect the simulation results, and the methods for regulation of water level at the downstream boundary. The two types of the meshes which are used in the research are structured non-orthogonal mesh and unstructured more-orthogonal mesh. The benchmark test is the flow over the weir in the flume. The use of a non-orthogonal mesh could simulate the flow separation which is found downstream of the weir. However the unstructured meshes which are composed of more orthogonal parts and less non-orthogonal parts, could not reproduce the flow separation in 2D simulations correctly for high and small specific discharges. For the 3D simulations, the unstructured meshes apparently simulate the correct flow profile for low specific discharges. In this interFoam evaluation
model the control structure or gate is used for maintaining the water level at the downstream boundary. In other words, it uses the physical method of water level boundary condition. The weir-groyne comparison
model is developed with different settings from the former
model for the assessment of the differences between weirs and groynes in open-channel flumes. The water level is regulated by a trial-and-error discharge adjustment method making use of inlet and outlet tanks. The mesh type used is the unstructured more-orthogonal mesh in 3D simulations since the severely non-orthogonal meshes introduce numerical artifacts. A variety of weirs and groynes with different slopes are simulated for the comparison of energy losses and streamlines patterns. From the simulation results, the streamlines of the flow over the weir and the groyne are found to be different and the energy head losses also differ between these two structures. For recommendations, to evaluate the skill of the interFoam solver the 3D simulations for unstructured meshes should be carried out to make sure that they can reproduce the flow sep- aration correctly. The use of a mathematical boundary condition for defining the water level is recommended to avoid the extra computational power for the control structure. To acquire the knowledge of flow around groynes and weirs, the experimental set-ups are recommended, and well-proved non-linear k − ε and k − ω turbulence closure models should be applied in the numerical modellings.

▼ The purpose of this project is to create a computational
model of a precapillary arteriole network near the optic nerve head (ONH) using computational fluid dynamics modeling (
CFD, Fluent, ANSYS, Inc.). The
CFD analysis will contain a blood flow
model coupled with oxygen (O2) and nitric oxide (NO) transport and reactions. Until recently it was believed that elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) was causal in glaucoma, however recent studies demonstrate that glaucoma is associated with sensitivity to IOP itself. Because of this insight, other mechanisms besides mechanical damage that could cause glaucomatous neurodegeneration need to be explored, such as alterations in blood flow and oxygenation due to systemic changes. Excessive NO has often been associated with glaucoma and can cause increased vasodilation. NO has also been shown to have neurotoxic effects on the ONH when available in excess. NO generation mostly occurs within the endothelium and is directly related to the local oxygen concentration although there is considerable debate in the literature about the cause of surplus NO generation. Several theories exist attempting to explain this surplus production. One theory proposes that surplus NO is generated in ischemic regions within the choroid, the vascular layer of tissue that provides nutrient transport to different layers of the eye. Others suggest that the NO is produced due to reperfusion injuries and a third proposes the failure of autoregulation may cause the surplus NO. The relationship between these theories, IOP, and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death (glaucoma), are not well understood. The purpose of this
CFD model is to provide a quantitative framework for the analysis of blood flow and gas transport within the eye and to look at the contribution of ischemic regions, reperfusion injuries, and/or the failure of autoregulation leading to glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Concentrations and distributions of O2 and NO will be modeled throughout an arteriole network and surrounding tissue to predict what concentration is ultimately delivered to the ONH. This work will provide the preliminary quantitative framework that is needed to determine the role of excessive NO generation on glaucoma development and provide a framework for further species transport modeling in the eye.

▼ Soot emissions are by-products of combustion that are well documented to have adverse effects on human health and the environment. Consequently, these emissions are becoming a target for stricter regulations. However, obstacles exist in the implementation of soot models in Computational Fluid Dynamics codes with complex geometry, such as ensuring carbon mass conservation as soot forms. This challenge is due to the thermochemistry interactions in turbulent codes being preprocessed (included in look-up tables), not solved for directly. This study considers the development of a soot model for kerosene combustion. Coupling is introduced between the soot and gas phase by including nucleation rates within the flamelet library, and by adjusting the concentrations of key soot precursors through additional transport equations. Validation has been performed for turbulent coflow kerosene flames at pressures of 1 and 4.8 bar. This simplified model reasonably predicts the soot volume fraction without tuning of the inception rate.

▼ One of the leading causes of death is cardiovascular disease, being 30% of all deaths worldwide and 40% of those in New Zealand. In other words, every 90 minutes a New Zealander dies due to cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular mortality is higher in New Zealand than Australia, but the reasons for this are not clear. Although Australia and New Zealand are similar politically, culturally, and socioeconomically, mortality from cardiovascular disease is about 25% higher in New Zealand than in Australia.
In recent years, engineers and scientists have collaborated with the medical community to find new methods and approaches for assessing and investigating the development of cardiovascular diseases such as abdominal aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis. In this thesis, atherosclerosis and aneurysm diseases are investigated and analysed using computational fluid dynamic/finite element (
CFD/FE) methods. These models are validated against the in vivo and in vitro experiments performed on animals. The experimental models are also investigated; the assessment of arterial blockages using blood pressure waveforms obtained invasively at the right femoral artery.
The animal experiments are performed following appropriate ethical protocols (R915) on Wistar rats weighing between 250-350g. An arterial blockage is created surgically within the abdominal aorta of healthy animals to create an unhealthy condition. Blood pressure waveforms are measured by injecting catheter into the right femoral artery of the rat. These measurements are taken at the baseline (healthy condition) and at four different severities of arterial blockage of the abdominal aorta for the same specimen. In vivo and in vitro measurements of the arterial diameter and wall thickness are also taken using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and microscopic techniques, respectively.
These data are then input onto
CFD/FE models in order to develop a new, non-invasive method of assessing arterial blockage. The experimental and computational results indicate that arterial blockages occurring within the abdominal aorta could be assessed, and the development of the disease diagnosed, very clearly and non-invasively at the right femoral artery. The findings of the animal
model are then implemented in the human
model for screening atherosclerosis and aneurysm at the brachial artery. These diseases are modelled and simulated in a 3D
CFD/FE aorta geometry using the fluid–structure interaction (FSI) approach on the commercial software ANSYS®14.0. Literature blood flow waveform datum is assumed at the inlet and invasive catheter pulsatile pressure waveforms data is imposed at the four outlets of the aorta (provided by Green Lane Hospital under ethic approval number NTX/09/11/109). Correlations between the stress phase angle (SPA), augmentation index (AI), lumen diameter and blood pressure waveforms for various scenarios of diseased models are made and compared to the control
model. The results show that
CFD/FE models with different radii and thicknesses at the abdominal…

▼ Significant maldistribution negatively influences performance of equipment containing dense tube bundles and, moreover, it can cause a wide range of operating issues. This thesis therefore focuses on analysis of fluid flow in complete distribution systems via computational fluid dynamics (
CFD). Data obtained from simulations carried out using the software ANSYS Fluent were also statistically analysed. Influence of system arrangement, tube bundle parameters and operating parameters on flow distribution non-uniformity and pressure drop was investigated. According to the results, system arrangement is the crucial differentiating parameter in terms of flow distribution as well as pressure drop. Additionally, data obtained via the classical
CFD approach were compared with those yielded by a simplified
CFD model for three selected distribution systems. Simplified
CFD approach can - given its low computational demand - be utilised in optimization algorithms as well as in the course of the initial stage of equipment design process. Furthermore, this thesis discusses a simulation tool which is based on the simplified
CFD approach. Although this tool is still being developed, the results it yields are very promising.

▼ The focus of this master’s thesis is modelling of fluid flow in parallel distribution systems where the uniformity of fluid distribution plays an important role. For this purpose, a custom
CFD code is presented. The code is written in Java programming language and uses third-party low-level libraries for improved performance. The code is also characterised by certain simplifications that are expected to reduce computational times. The effect of employed simplification measures is evaluated by comparing the results of flow simulations on several geometries with the data yielded by detailed
CFD models. The geometries of tube bundles are distinguished by different flow and tube arrangements and also by a different number of tubes.

▼ The limited driving range, due to the poor storage capability of electric batteries, represents one of the greatest challenges in the development of electric vehicles. This concern leads to an extremely demanding design of every component within the vehicle powertrain in order to achieve their maximum energy efficiency and decrease the demand on the battery. Additionally, in cold climate conditions, the efficiency of the heating system of an electric vehicle decreases and it can result in further reducing its driving range. In this thesis, 1D modelling in Amesim will be used to analyze different concepts of thermal management for an electric vehicle. Firstly, a 1D
model of the original refrigeration system of the chosen vehicle (Fiat 500e) was built by implementing the data of each component. The components were individually modelled, then assembled within a system level
model and the final
model was validated. Secondly, starting with the validated system, a 1D
model of a heat pump system was proposed as a replacement for the commonly used positive temperature coefficient heater (PTC). This
model was obtained exploiting the information available on the refrigeration system and assuming all the unknown characteristics. An energy and exergy analysis was carried out to determine the individual components and overall system performance. Finally, the vehicle cabin was modelled exploiting a new Embedded
CFD tool of Amesim capable of combining the advantages of 1D and 3D modelling, hence providing lower CPU resources and time consumption required to perform a simulation due to the lower effort to
model the temperature distribution inside the cabin. This approach gives also the chance to study zonal heating and cooling of the cabin in order to reduce the energy demand on the battery. Numerous simulations were performed to analyze the impact of different settings and parameters validating each of them through comparison with experimental data.

▼ When simulating air flows in an urban environment, for e.g. pollutant dispersion investigations, today's main tool is advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations. These simulations take a lot of time and resources to perform, even for small geometries. In some situations, one would like to be able to run approximate simulations, possibly with large geometries, without such a significant investment. The model described in this thesis is a graph network model which have streets and intersections of an urban environment modeled as connections and nodes in a graph. The model uses a pressured pipe model, based on the Darcy-Weisbach equation, to simulate air flow in the network. Such a model requires only rough measurements of the urban geometry and an estimated Darcy's friction factor, to be able to solve the system. Furthermore, using the same rough geometrical parameters, together with shear velocity, the model solves atmospheric exchange rates of the streets. Intersections play a major role when investigating urban dispersion. The way this model deals with dispersion in any complex intersections, represented by single nodes, is by using wind direction variance together with a distribution parameter based on computational fluid dynamics intersection simulations made in Comsol Multiphysics - also present in this paper. Using the simple model described above, I have simulated urban air flows in a complex urban geometry of a part of Paris. This specific geometry has already been investigated by computational fluid dynamics simulations as well as wind tunnel experiments. By comparing the computational fluid dynamics simulation with my model, I have validated its accuracy. 40% and 45% of all streets reach a relative and absolute error below 25% respectively. Directions of the street velocities have been simulated with approximately 90% accuracy - with distinct error indications. Atmospheric exchange rates of the streets are within an order of magnitude accurate, however, showing a systematic error by overestimating the vast majority of the exchange rates. The model could become even better by covering error sources discussed in the discussion section. Excess theory for simulating each of the above-described flows is presented, which might change the results. For example, slightly altering the modeling of the atmospheric exchange rate might fix the overestimation offset we have seen. Potential error sources could be the varying building heights and the streets angle relative the overlaying wind direction. The pressured pipe simulated flows have shown tendencies to be bad at picking up the effects of high/low buildings following low/high buildings, as well as accurately capture the behavior of streets close to perpendicular to the wind direction. Main streets with plenty of exits have been modeled with intersections at each exit, which results in strong flow variation along a street that should have a flow close to constant. Solving main streets like this separately could improve this…

▼ The earlier EU-sponsored project MEXICO (model experiments in controlled conditions) provided a huge database for flows past an experimental rotor in standard and yaw conditions. This study aims to determine the eligibility of different models under various conditions by using the MEXICO data. The main purpose of this project is to improve the BEM technique for yawed flows by using the new yaw model. Additionally, the BEM technique with new yaw model is compared with the CFD and measurement results. The Glauert’s yaw model is also applied in BEM model to compare the effectiveness of the new yaw model. It is proved that the CFD technique is still better than the BEM technique except at the high yaw and wind conditions. Furthermore, new yaw model is favored against Glauert’s yaw model. This project also aims to implement the new tip loss correction model in the BEM code and the results are validated with the CFD results.

▼ Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) machining is a complex, non-conventional machining process involving numerous input parameters including hydraulic, abrasive, mixing and cutting that must be accurately manipulated to guarantee precise cutting and quality. Currently, available models are empirical or require continuous calibration, or extensive experimental work. To reduce the calibration and experimental time required for accurate prediction of AWJ cutting, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is being utilized to model the nozzle flow interaction; high pressure water is pushed through the orifice into the mixing chamber, pulling the abrasive into the flow and cohering in the focus tube. Initial research worked towards understanding the effect that input parameters - such as pressure, particle size and shape, focus tube length and volume fraction of air in fluid mixture - have on the velocity profile through the nozzle and upon exit to the atmosphere. Once understood, the CFD model can be utilized to vary mass-inlet, mixing head, orifice and focus tube dimensions to optimize velocity profile of abrasive material including magnitude and jet coherency. Primarily focused on pump pressure, which is limited by technology - an optimized AWJ nozzle will increase material removal rate and/or enhance cut quality without making changes to any other AWJM components. Utilizing the velocity output information from the CFD model, a depth of penetration erosion prediction model was generated. Based on methodology from Finnie, and modified by Hashish and ElTobgy, a multi-particle erosion model of an impacted work piece is developed. With an updated formulation for the specific cutting resistance of a work piece, dependent on particle velocity and nozzle traverse speed, the erosion prediction over the sixty-five different setups modelled and tested experimentally, reduced error on average 41.8%. Moreover, the development of this model created multi-layered surface plots, illustrating for quick reference, the erosion of a work piece for a given set of parameters albeit mass flow rate, pump pressure and traverse rate. Further, a database of quick reference guides, including variable input settings, nozzle types, garnet types and work piece materials can easily be developed. Finally, a new methodology for the leading edge of the waterjet is described and can be incorporated into the erosion simulation by making use of the ``top-hat`` profile generated in the CFD model. This would reduce reliance on model constants to account for secondary cutting, or when particles do not contribute to cutting but are simply entrained in the fluid flow. Both models demonstrated good correlation with experiments or literature. The use of these models will increase understanding of the complex abrasive waterjet process and reduce the need for costly experiments moving forward.

▼ This thesis presents a Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations-based computational validation of the Axial Flow Turbine Research Facility (AFTRF). The research turbine design was based on NASA’s E3 "Energy Efficient Engine" concept with 23 stationary nozzle guide vanes and a 29 blade high pressure (HP) turbine rotor. This large-scale and low-speed turbomachinery research facility provides high-resolution aerodynamic measurements from the turbine stage for the assessment of computational simulations. The finite volume-based general purpose fluid dynamics solver, Star CCM+, coupled with the k-ω SST turbulence
model and the "Gamma transition" flow
model were used. Various performance parameters were measured, including velocity profiles, nozzle/blade airfoil static pressure coefficients, and total pressure. The previously measured experimental data sets and boundary conditions from the AFTRF were used in a computational validation. NGV (Nozzle Guide Vanes) and rotor validations were performed and total-to-total efficiency was discussed.
The present computational effort uses a "mixing plane" based stationary to rotating interface for stage calculations. A grid dependency assessment has been performed both on NGV and rotor flows. The computational results obtained at NGV-intraspace and rotor exit are compared to five-hole-probe based experimental data. The stage exit data from a Kiel probe are also compared to the current simulations. The current study concludes that the present computational
model effectively predicts AFTRF aerodynamic flow features with good spatial resolution. An attempt is also made to compare the total-to-total efficiency distribution in the spanwise direction. The study concludes that this computational approach can be effectively used in turbine secondary flow reduction, tip leakage flow mitigation, unsteady flow computations and finally energy efficiency improvements.

▼ A multi-scale, multi-physics computational tool for the simulation of high-performance gearbox aero-thermodynamics was developed and applied to equilibrium and pathological loss-of-lubrication performance simulation. The physical processes at play in these systems include multiphase compressible flow of the air and lubricant within the gearbox, meshing kinematics and tribology, as well as heat transfer by conduction, and free and forced convection. These physics are coupled across their representative space and time scales in the computational framework developed in this dissertation. These scales span eight orders of magnitude, from the thermal response of the full gearbox O(10
0 m, 10
2 s), through effects at the tooth passage time scale O(10
-2 m, 10
-4 s), down to tribological effects on the meshing gear teeth O(10
-6 m, 10
-6 s).
Direct numerical simulation of these coupled physics and scales is intractable. Accordingly, a scale-segregated simulation strategy was developed by partitioning and treating the contributing physical mechanisms as sub-problems, each with associated space and time scales, and appropriate coupling mechanisms. These are:
1. the long time scale thermal response of the system,
2. the multiphase (air, droplets, and film) aerodynamic flow and convective heat transfer within the gearbox,
3. the high-frequency, time-periodic thermal effects of gear tooth heating while in mesh and its subsequent cooling through the rest of rotation,
4. meshing effects including tribology and contact mechanics.
The overarching goal of this dissertation was to develop software and analysis procedures for gearbox loss-of-lubrication performance. To accommodate these four physical effects and their coupling, each is treated in the
CFD code as a sub problem. These physics modules are coupled algorithmically. Specifically, the high-frequency conduction analysis derives its local heat transfer coefficient and near-wall air temperature boundary conditions from a quasi-steady cyclic-symmetric simulation of the internal flow. This high-frequency conduction solution is coupled directly with a
model for the meshing friction, developed by a collaborator, which was adapted for use in a finite-volume
CFD code. The local surface heat flux on solid surfaces is calculated by time-averaging the heat flux in the high-frequency analysis. This serves as a fixed-flux boundary condition in the long time scale conduction module. The temperature distribution from this long time scale heat transfer calculation serves as a boundary condition for the internal convection simulation, and as the initial condition for the high-frequency heat transfer module.
Using this multi-scale
model, simulations were performed for equilibrium and loss-of-lubrication operation of the NASA Glenn Research Center test stand. Results were compared with experimental measurements.
In addition to the multi-scale
model itself, several other specific contributions were made. Eulerian models for droplets and wall-films were developed and implemented in the
CFD…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Air-gravity conveyors are widely used in industry to convey bulk materials with the advantages of low particle velocities, low levels of particle attrition, potentially high conveying rates and low power consumption. Most current designs are based on empirical design charts and past experience as there have been relatively few investigations attempting to model the flow of air-gravity conveyor systems. Instead of empirically based methods, this thesis adopted a new continuum approach based on fluid rheology to assess the flow performance of fine powders within air-gravity conveyors. Meanwhile, this thesis also conducted computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical simulations of an air-gravity conveying system with fluidised materials. Therefore, the objective of this research focused on the following specific aspects: design of the air-gravity conveyor; experimental determinations of the flow behaviour of aerated materials; theoretical modelling of the fluidised flow conveying models based on the rheology; validation of the proposed conveying models; and CFD simulation of the air-gravity fluidised conveying system. Initially, experimental investigations on the basic parameters including density parameters, particle size distribution and air-particle parameters were conducted on sand and flyash. Essentially, a combination of a fluidisation chamber and a rotary viscometer was applied for testing the shear stress and shear rate of fluidised materials, and then the rheology parameters could be determined accordingly. Secondly, the air-gravity conveyor was designed to form a circulation system for future experimental research. Detailed drawings are presented in this thesis. Essentially, the conveying system consists of four sections: hopper feed section, material conveying section, material receive section and material return section. Instrumentation for measuring pressure and mass flow rates was designed and installed in an experimental area. Thirdly, air-gravity conveying tests were conducted on sand and flyash. The material bed height, material mass flow rate and pressure drop were measured and analysed under vent and non-vent condition. Based on the experimental test procedure and test programme, the effect of air flow rate and channel inclination on the depth of flowing beds, material mass flow rate and pressure drop along the channel were investigated and discussed. Fourthly, a fundamental conveying model for air-gravity conveyor flows in inclined channels, with an emphasis on the conservation of momentum taking into account the rheology of the gas-solid mixture, was developed to predict the flow behaviour of material in air-gravity conveyors. By inputting the rheological parameters and conveying design data, the steady flow bed height of this air-gravity conveying system could be predicted. After that, rheology based conveying models were evaluated and validated by comparing the steady flow bed height produced from the conveying models with the experimental…

▼ Wake losses are a major component among the losses that contribute to the decrease in the Annual Energy Production of a wind farm. Understanding the wake behavior properly would help in designing proper layouts of wind farms to obtain maximum power and improved turbine life. This research aims at understanding the wake behavior under uniform inflow and shear inflow conditions, and studying the impact of power of a turbine that is in the wake of another turbine. Computational Fluid Dynamics (
CFD) simulations were carried out to represent the velocity deficit behind wind turbines using
CFD codes ANSYS FLUENT and OpenFOAM. Two different methods were used to
model the rotor: the Multiple Reference Frame
Model (MRF) and the Virtual Blade
Model (VBM). Both models are capable of predicting some fundamental effects in the wake. Comparison of the velocity deficit with the wind tunnel measurements has reached a good agreement. Power loss of the downstream wind turbine located at different distances downstream has been calculated. The results from OpenFOAM were compared with those obtained from FLUENT.

▼ Pipeline blockage, which results from solid and hydrocarbon deposition caused by changes in pressure, temperature, or composition, is a critical issue in oil & gas production and transportation systems. Sometimes blockage, which extends several miles in the long-distance pipeline, can be assumed as a new pipe with a smaller diameter. Therefore, it is imperative to detect the location and size of blockage in pipelines more accurately and efficiently to reduce the number of pipeline accidents.
This paper explores the distribution of pressure and pressure gradient through the pipeline without/with single blockage under different operating conditions. 3-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamic (
CFD) simulations under steady state are carried out to examine the effects of blockage location, blockage diameter and blockage length. The orthogonal array testing technique is applied to study the extent to which factor affects the pressure drop most.
The dimensionless parameters like dimensionless blockage location, dimensionless blockage diameter, dimensionless blockage length and dimensionless pressure drop, are introduced to evaluate the relationship among the pressure drop and blockage characterizations. Three fitting formulas of dimensionless parameters distribution are proposed and could be used to locate the pipeline blockage and estimate its diameter and length as well.
Finally, laboratory experiments were run to validate the blockage prediction
model. The fluid frictional apparatus is modified by replacing part of the pipe with a section of small diameter pipe to simulate the actual partial blockade pipeline. The obtained deviations of pressure drop between the lab experiment result and the prediction
model is limited to under 30%. Therefore, the deviation should be taken into account while assessing the blockage through the pipeline based on the blockage prediction
model, which also allow the operator to assess partial blockage efficiently and economically.

▼ This thesis discusses the results and insights gained from developing a CFD model of a pilot-scale pressurized dry coal-feed system using the Barracuda CFD software and modeling various design concepts and operating conditions. The feed system was required to transport approximately 0.00378 kg/s (30 lb/hr) of pulverized coal from a vertical hopper to a 2.07 MPa (20.4 atm or 300 psi) reactor with a CO2-to-coal mass flow ratio of 1-2. Two feed system concepts were developed and tested for coal mass flow, CO2-to-coal mass ratio, steadiness, and uniformity. Piping system components also were evaluated for pressure drop and coal roping.With the first system concept, Barracuda software model parameters were explored to observe their effect on gas and particle flow. A mesh sensitivity study revealed there exists too fine of a mesh for dual-phase flow with Barracuda due to the particle initialization process. A relatively coarse mesh was found to be acceptable since the results did not change with increasing mesh refinement. Barracuda sub-model parameters that control particle interaction were investigated. Other than the close pack volume fraction, coal flow results were insensitive to changes in these parameters. Default Barracuda parameters were used for design simulations.The gravity-fed system (first concept) relied on gravity to transfer coal from a hopper into the CO2 carrier gas. This design was unable to deliver the required coal mass flow rate due to the cohesion and packing of the particles being greater than the gravity forces acting on the particles. The fluidized bed (second concept) relied on CO2 flow injected at the bottom of the hopper to fluidize the particles and transport them through a horizontal exit pipe. Additional CO2 was added post-hopper to dilute the flow and increase the velocity to minimize particle layout. This concept was shown to decouple the fluidized particle flow and dilution CO2 flow, providing significant design and operating flexibility. A non-uniform mesh was implemented to maintain a high mesh refinement in the 0.635-cm (¼-in) diameter transport pipe with less refinement in the hopper/bed region. The two main hopper diameters evaluated measured 5.08-cm (2-in) and 15.24-cm (6-in). Successful designs were achieved for each with appropriate coal mass flow rates and CO2-to-coal ratios. The particle flow was sufficiently steady for use with a coal burner.A piping system study was performed to test pneumatic transport and the effects of pipe length and bend radius. For a 1-to-1 gas-to-particle mass flow, particle layout occurred after 30 cm of travel. Particle roping occurred to various extents depending on the pipe bend radius. Bend radii of 0.318, 60.96, and 182.88 centimeters were simulated. Roping increased with bend radius and high pressure. Greater gas flow rates increased particle flow steadiness and uniformity. A simple methodology was identified to estimate the pressure drop for different piping system configurations based on the piping components simulated.

▼ <p class="MsoNormal">In dredging operation, the high-pressure water jet is widely used for the excavation of soil. To study the jetting process and optimize the dredging devices, the moving vertical water jet penetrating cohesive soil experiments were carried out by Nobel (2013). However, in terms of the design optimization for the dredging devices, it is not easy to change the jet scale and soil properties during the experiment due to time and economic constraints. Some detailed physics during the jetting process, e.g. pressure on the soil surface and shear plane inside the soil during jetting, were also not monitored during the experiment. Therefore, numerical simulation is chosen to optimize the design of dredging devices and study the physics of the jetting process. A CFD (computational fluid dynamics) numerical model is built to simulate the moving jet penetrating cohesive soil. The soil is modeled as a Bingham plastic. The sediment transport is modeled by using drift-flux model. The moving jet modeling is achieved by using dynamic mesh algorithms AMI (arbitrary mesh interface) and A/R (cell layer addition removal). The CFD numerical model has been validated with the experiment of Nobel. After the validation, an analysis of the jetting process based on this CFD model is accomplished proving that the CFD model can reveal the details of the soil failure process during jetting. This thesis work reveals that it is possible to describe the hydraulic excavation of cohesive soil with reasonable accuracy using CFD numerical model. The CFD model can also reveal the details of the soil failure process that could not be retrieved from the experiment. Since the model is generic, it can be applied for a jet bar with multiple nozzles. This is helpful to improve the design of dredging equipment, optimize the operational settings and estimate the production.

▼ An accurate prediction of the ice melting pattern would be useful for the performance evaluation and energy optimization during the design phase of the vehicle defroster. It can also be used to ensure that the design passes the legal requirement as well. A transient CFD simulation method suitable for defroster performance simulation is therefore verified and validated in this study. The aim is to achieve as accurate and efficient simulation as possible for the use in industry. In this study, the geometry is first prepared in ANSA and the simulation and post-processing are executed in STAR-CCM+. Fluid film model is used to model the ice layer on the windscreen and its melting and solidification model plays an important part in obtaining the ice melting pattern. The model is first verified regarding the optimal mesh setting, time step size, flow solver setting and the choice of turbulence models. It was found that the mesh and turbulence model can affect the simulation stability greatly. Realizable k-epsilon, k-epsilon Lag EB and SST k-omega model are examined and Realizable k-epsilon is selected as the most suitable one for this simulation. The time step size and flow solver can then be adjusted to maximize the solution efficiency. With steady state nature of the flow field, the time step size can be increased up to 5 or even 15 s depend on the required level of accuracy. With the flow solver frozen after a steady state initialization, the solver time per time step can be further reduced by 30 – 35%. With 15 s time step size, the 42 minutes testing time transient simulation can be executed within 2.5 hours with 960 computational cores and still yields results with acceptable accuracy. Next, to improve the result accuracy, boundary conditions and the domain geometry are validated against the test data. It was found that the velocity and turbulence profile at HVAC-defroster connection is needed to achieve accurate flow impingement pattern and ice melting pattern on the windscreen. The ice layer thickness can also affect the melting rate considerably so it should be verified in future tests. In contrast, it is apparent that the simulation is not too sensitive to the defroster inlet temperature profile and so a variation within 5 – 10 ℃ is acceptable for future application. With these verifications, highly accurate ice melting pattern is achieved for both the windscreen and front side windows at the end of this study. The application of this final scheme on another vehicle model also confirms the method reliability.

▼ This thesis details a goal-oriented model reduction framework for parameterized nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), with an emphasis on shape-deformation problems with high-dimensional and non-affine parameter dependence. The framework builds on five technical ingredients: free-form deformation, which provides implicit geometry-independent shape deformations; reduced basis spaces, which provide rapidly convergent approximations of the parameterized solutions; the empirical quadrature procedure (EQP), which provides efficient hyper-reduction for nonlinear PDEs with non-affine parameter dependence; the dual-weighted residual (DWR) method, which provides a posteriori error estimation; and a greedy sampling method based on saturated parameter space assumptions, which provides efficient adaptive training in high-dimensional parameter spaces. This generalized framework enables automatic training of reduced order models that meets a user-prescribed error tolerance for a wide range of continuum mechanics problems. The versatility of this framework is demonstrated for many-query shape deformation problems in acoustics, aerodynamics, and hyperelasticity. The eventual application of this framework is to accelerate many-query problems such as shape optimization and uncertainty quantification.

▼ This doctoral thesis presents a novel computational tool chain able to automatically extract zonal models from
CFD simulations of the built environment in order to provide accurate and rapid predictions of indoor temperature distributions. This doctoral thesis introduces a method for automatically clustering the computational cells of
CFD simulations into sub-zones that can be considered quasi isothermal and compute the mass and heat exchange between the sub-zones and the domain to extract a zonal
model. The zonal
model can then be solved for off-design boundary conditions at a fraction of the computational cost of
CFD.
This doctoral research first developed three methods for clustering
CFD cells and compared their ability to capture the temperature distributions of the computational domain. These methods are: (1) the Mean Values Segmentation, (2) the Classic Watershed, and (3) the Coarse Grid method. The research presented in this thesis shows that the Mean Values Segmentation method performs best with regards to computational power and pertinence of the extracted clusters.
Then, this doctoral thesis developed a method for generating zonal models from cell clusters and information extracted from the
CFD simulation results such as boundary conditions. The method was applied to three case studies: an office space, a naturally ventilated meeting room, and an ideal ventilation case. This study has assessed the fidelity of the automatically generated zonal models when solved for off-design boundary conditions and has showed that the zonal models are able to predict temperature distributions with a weighted mean absolute error under 0.6 K when the temperature and mass flow rate at the boundaries are changed. The proposed methodology is able to capture and simulate local phenomena such as air stratification and thermal plumes with minimal error and is able to accommodate complex flow fields provided that the domain’s temperature is not uniform.

▼ Disinfection methods are used within many fields to keep equipment and environments
free from harmful biological agents such as fungi, bacteria, viruses and spore
forms. Within the food and drug industry, aseptic processing refers to a process
chain in which sterilized products are filled into sterilized containers. Aseptic processing
brings benefits such as improved quality and increased shelf life of a product,
which in turn leads to less waste due to the expiration of products. The benefits of
aseptic processing introduce a demand for the development of effective disinfection
methods.
A common chemical disinfection method is the usage of hydrogen-peroxide to kill
bacteria. One way to perform hydrogen-peroxide disinfection is to spray a vapor
containing air, water and hydrogen-peroxide which is allowed to condense on cold
surfaces forming a liquid film of water and hydrogen-peroxide which conducts the
desired bacteria killing. It is important that all surfaces have been exposed to a
hydrogen-peroxide film to ensure a rapid disinfection. This project aims to investigate
the process of hydrogen-peroxide film condensation to evaluate the degree
of liquid film coverage and gas hydrogen-peroxide exposure within mm-wide slits.
The investigation was carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The
process of hydrogen-peroxide gas disinfection is well understood, but the process of
liquid film formation and dynamics is more complex and many challenges remain
within this field. In particular, there are no previous studies investigating film formation
within small slits.
A parameter study was performed to evaluate how the characteristic width of a slit
h and the external gas flow velocity v influence the degree of liquid film coverage
on the inside surfaces of a slit. The results suggest that the critical value of h as a
function of v to ensure full surface film coverage follow hcrit(v) = 6.44v−0.2838−1.84,
which is valid within the range v = [0.5, 2.0]. Expressed in terms of the dimensionless
mass transfer Péclet number Peh, the criteria for full surface film coverage is
according to the results Peh > 97. The results remove the need of having a high
spatial resolution around mm-narrow spaces. Instead the developed macro-scale
model can be used to predict the degree of hydrogen-peroxide exposure within the
slit only with the knowledge of gas velocity external to the slit.

▼ When a patient visits the doctor and expresses trouble breathing through the nose,
the diagnostic method and whether nasal surgery is needed comes with a lot of uncertainties.
Only around 60-80 % [27] of the patients are satisfied with the initial
procedure. In order to better understand the airflow in the nose and what consequence
the standard operations have, the airflow the nose have been simulated and
studied. Using CT-scans and 3D models CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
simulations have been done. In order to study what effect an operation would have,
these models have been altered according to common surgical procedures. The CFD
simulations for the 3D models resulted in reconstructed rhinomanometry curves (a
common measurement on patients with nasal obstruction) which have some similarities
with real rhinomanometry curves.
A lecture on the subject of fluid dynamics have also been performed for medical
students. This was used for studying how different formats of online teaching effects
learning. No significant difference in test results was found for different formats.
However, a majority of the participants enjoyed the lecture and see future possibilities
for collaboration with engineers.

▼ Carefully engineered mine ventilation is critical to the safe operation of underground longwall mines. Currently, there are several options for simulation of mine ventilation. This research was conducted to rapidly simulate an underground longwall mine, especially for the use of tracer gas in an emergency situation. In an emergency situation, limited information about the state of mine ventilation system is known, and it is difficult to make informed decisions about safety of the mine for rescue personnel. With careful planning, tracer gases can be used to remotely ascertain changes in the ventilation system. In the meantime, simulation of the tracer gas can be conducted to understand the airflow behavior for improvements during normal operation.
Better informed decisions can be made with the help of both tracer gas technique and different modeling approaches. This research was made up of two main parts. One was a field study conducted in an underground longwall mine in the western U.S. The other one was a simulation of the underground longwall mine with different approaches, such as network modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (
CFD) models. Networking modeling is the most prevalent modeling technique in the mining industry. However, a gob area, which is a void zone filled with broken rocks after the longwall mining, cannot be simulated in an accurate way with networking modeling.
CFD is a powerful tool for modeling different kinds of flows under various situations. However, it requires a significant time investment for the expert user as well as considerable computing power. To take advantage of both network modeling and
CFD, the hybrid approach, which is a combination of network modeling and
CFD was established. Since tracer gas was released and collected in the field study, the tracer gas concentration profile was separately simulated in network modeling,
CFD model, and hybrid
model in this study. The simulated results of airflow and tracer gas flow were analyzed and compared with the experimental results from the field study.
Two commercial network modeling software packages were analyzed in this study. One of the network modeling software also has the capability to couple with
CFD. A two-dimensional (2D)
CFD model without gob was built to first analyze the accuracy of
CFD. More 2D
CFD models with gob were generated to determine how much detail was necessary for the gob
model. Several three-dimensional (3D)
CFD models with gob were then created. A mesh independence study and a sensitivity study for the porosity and permeability values were created to determine the optimal mesh size, porosity and permeability values for the 3D
CFD model, and steady-state simulation and transient simulations were conducted in the 3D
CFD models. In the steady-state simulation, a comparison was made between the 3D
CFD models with and without taking the diffusivity of SF6 in air into account.
Finally, the different simulation techniques were compared to measured field data, and assessed to determine if the hybrid approach was…

▼ Symmetric piezoresistive microcantilever beams have been demonstrated in previous research to be capable of sensing the presence of surrounding gas. This occurs as the damping effect of the gas changes the beam resonance behavior. Device sensitivity has been increased dramatically after changing the symmetric beam base to an asymmetric beam base. This dissertation seeks to improve on beam fabrication and simplify the fabrication procedure compared to earlier approaches. By changing to a polymer mask and using new equipment, an entire wafer can be fabricated in far less time compared to the previous approach. While this new approach shows great promise, additional research is needed to demonstrate consistent device quality comparable with earlier approaches. This dissertation also focuses on the continued development of such devices with an emphasis on modeling to better understand the resonant behavior in a gas. Past work at the University of Louisville and elsewhere has relied upon simplified fluid mechanics models to relate changes in resonance with gas properties. The current work considers a combination of Stokes' oscillating cylinder
model and computational fluid dynamics simulation to better characterize the damping effect including the effect of the rectangular cross-section and the presence of a boundary (the silicon handle layer) located 2 µm below the beam. The beam is induced to vibrate by electrical attractive forces at the end that change with applied driving electrode voltage and beam voltage. The electrostatic force, the displacement of the beam tip, the change of resistance of beam base due to piezoresistive effects, and the resulting signal received by the lock-in amplifier is established by a combination of analytical models and finite element simulation. This simulated output signal provides valuable insights to address issues of proper parameters to use during testing. This new information developed in this dissertation helps to advance the state of the art for microresonating beams for gas detection. This information is expected to play a key role as the systems in this work are transitioned to use in practice.

▼ The Spalart Allmaras (S-A) Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model has had considerable success in application to a wide range of turbulent flow problems. However, as turbulent kinetic energy k is not available in the S-A model, the application of sub-models of additional physical phenomena may not be possible. These phenomena could include turbulent transition models, which require a freestream turbulent intensity, or combustion closures which require a turbulent time scale, or broadband noise prediction based on k. This thesis composes of three main parts. In the first part, a comprehensive study of γ-〖Re〗_θ transition model is presented. In the second part, a local correlation-based γ-〖Re〗_θ transition model is coupled with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model (SA-γ-〖Re〗_θ model) in a structured parallelized Navier-Stokes solver, Flamenco and in the OpenFOAM package. The detailed and complete summary of the modified governing equations and a suite of validation and verification tests are given. The results obtained prove the validity of the SA-γ-〖Re〗_θ model. In the third part, a novel turbulence model, denoted the S-A-K model, is developed coupling the Spalart-Allmaras model with a transport equation for kinetic energy k, enabling coupling with the SA model with γ-〖Re〗_θ model (SAK-γ-〖Re〗_θ). The closure strategy of S-A-K model is proposed and validated against four standard benchmark cases. Good results are obtained using the S-A-K model compared to the results from the classical S-A turbulence model and the k-ω Shear Stress Transport Turbulence Model (k-ωSST) model, and experimental data.

▼ Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart disease in which the aorta witnesses localized obstruction. CoA can be fatal if left untreated. Endovascular stenting
of CoA is an attractive treatment of choice in adolescents and adults; however, it can
be associated with problems like stent malapposition and inappropriate stent expansion. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of stent implantation
on the hemodynamic factors in a patient with mild coarctation.
Computational fluid dynamics was utilized to illustrate the hemodynamic factors
like velocity distribution, wall shear stress, and trans-coarctation pressure drop in
pre- and post-intervention states. These factors were used to assess the success of
stent deployment in this patient. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model is employed in
this work to provide detailed information on hemodynamics in patient-specific preand post-intervention geometries of the aorta. The results of an in-house lumped
parameter code, in which its input parameters are obtained from patient-specific
clinical data, were applied as the boundary conditions in this study.
