▼ Swirling flows abound in nature and numerous engineering applications. Under conditions which are not completely understood, the swirling cores could undergo a sudden enlargement of their vortex core, leading to a ’vortex breakdown’. The physics of vortex
breakdown and strategies to control it have been active areas of research for nearly half a century. There are many competing theories of vortex
breakdown in the literature; broadly, these are surmised on similarities to
flow separation, hydrodynamic instability or transition from a supercritical to a subcritical state. However, a rational criterion for vortex
breakdown continues to be elusive. One of the most well known criteria in the literature is the one due to Brown and Lopez (1990) based on an inviscid vortex dynamics model which suggests that the helix angle of the velocity vector should enclose the helix angle of the vorticity vector. However it appears that this only suggests that the stream surface would diverge and not necessarily constitute a condition for
breakdown. In this work, we propose a new criterion based on helicity (scalar product of velocity and vorticity vectors) for characterizing
breakdown since it has fundamental topological interpretations relating to change in linkages of vortex lines. In particular, it is suggested that the
breakdown location corresponds to the location where helicity becomes zero. We study the problem of vortex
breakdown in a cylindrical container with a rotating top lid in order to clarify and elucidate our hypothesis. We present results from Direct Numerical Simulation of this problem for three different Reynolds numbers and evaluate the utility of our proposed helicity criterion. Our studies indicate that helicity is indeed a better choice for characterizing vortex
breakdown.

▼ In this thesis an investigation is performed into the effect of different speed limits on freeway capacity. From literature, much is known about the variety of factors that affect capacity, but the exact effect of the speed limit on capacity is not yet clear. In recent years, several speed limits changes have taken place at multiple two-lane freeway bottlenecks throughout The Netherlands, which makes it possible to compare effects of different speed limits at the same location. To evaluate the effect of the speed limit on capacity, the Product Limit Method has been applied to identify
breakdown flows and generate capacity distributions, which could subsequently be compared for different limits. In the comparison of capacity distributions under different speed limits, it was found that significant changes in capacity had occurred, but that no uniform direction of the effect could be found. Subsequently, to control for location specific factors and other variables, Fixed Effects regression has been used to determine the effect of the speed limit on the
breakdown flow. It was found that the
breakdown flow under the 120 km/h limit was significantly higher than under the 130 km/h limit (in the range of 60 to 190 vehicles per hour) and that the
breakdown flow under the 100 km/h limit was, in some cases, also higher than under the 130 km/h limit. In addition to this, it was found that a significant positive relation exists between the height of the speed limit and the fraction of
flow in the passing lane. Moreover, it was shown that the relation between the fraction of
flow in the passing lane and the level of
breakdown flow was best represented by a quadratic relation, which could indicate that an “optimal” distribution of flows may exist. Given the results of this thesis, it is posed that a change in the speed limit is likely to affect capacity primarily through altering the lane
flow distribution and that it will depend on the layout of a freeway location what the optimal lane
flow distribution is and which speed limit leads to this optimal lane
flow distribution.

▼ This work deals with study of swirling flows where the spiral vortical structure appears. The main relation is to
flow seen in the draft tube cone of hydraulic turbines operated out of the design point (i.e. best efficiency point). In this cases large coherent vortex structure (vortex rope) appears and consequently high pressure pulsations are propagated to the whole machine system leading to possible restriction of turbine operation. This
flow features are consequence of
flow instability called vortex
breakdown in case of Francis turbine operated at part load (
flow rate lower than optimal one). The present study is carried out using simplified device of swirl generator in order to access similar
flow conditions as can be found in real hydraulic turbines. Both the dynamic and dissipation effect of spiral vortex
breakdown are investigated. The first part of thesis deals with spiral form of vortex
breakdown. The experimentally measured velocity profiles (LDA) and wall static pressures are correlated with numerical simulations carried out using open-source CFD package OpenFOAM 2.2.2. The high speed camera recording of cavitating vortex core is used to obtain image ensemble for further post-processing. The dissipation effect of spiral vortex structure is in detail discussed based on computed
flow fields. The second part of thesis is dedicated to the application of POD decomposition to the study of spatio-temporal features of spiral vortex dynamics. Firstly the POD is applied to the both the experimentally obtained image ensemble of cavitating vortex and numerically computed static pressure fields. Secondly the comprehensive analysis of spiral vortex mitigation effect by the axial water jet is analyzed. The collaborative study employing the swirl generator apparatus designed by the researchers from Politehnica University of Timisoara in Romania is performed and changes in spatio-temporal vortex dynamic are studied. In this study the numerical data (in a form of three-dimensional pressure and velocity fields) are obtained using commercial CFD software ANSYS Fluent R14.

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Over the past decades environmental sustainability and mitigating congestion has been a significant challenge in urban areas in many countries. Freeway traffic management systems are aimed to improve traffic conditions by better managing existing freeway facilities. This dissertation presents an evaluation methodology that consists of series of statistical tests to identify the changes in
flow-occupancy plot and
flow breakdown on freeways. Two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the statistical significance of changes in the overall
flow-occupancy distribution. Curve-fitting techniques were used to produce before and after
flow-occupancy fitted plots. In order to compare the fitted plots, statistical tests were presented to identify if slopes of fitted lines were statistically different. One challenge in creating traffic
flow plots is the identification of critical occupancy. An automated procedure based on clustering techniques was presented to alleviate the modeler discretion from identifying the critical occupancy value. The impact of freeway traffic management systems on the probability of
flow breakdown was also investigated. A non-parametric product-limit method and parametric Weibull distributions were used to model
flow breakdown distributions. The applicability of presented methodologies for evaluating the freeway traffic management systems was illustrated using two case studies; a variable speed limit system in St. Louis, Missouri, and a freeway ramp metering system in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. The two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was illustrated to be useful in identifying the changes in before and after study of
flow-occupancy distributions. Clustering techniques were successfully applied to partition traffic data to two regimes and to create
flow-occupancy diagrams and to identify
flow breakdown. Finally, an examination of the
breakdown probability distribution highlighted its values as a more complete performance measure than capacity or critical occupancy.

▼ The efficient and enhanced mixing of heat and incoming reactants is achieved in modern gas turbine systems by employing swirling flows. This is realized by a low velocity region (internal recirculation zone -IRZ) zone resulting from vortex
breakdown phenomenon. Besides, IRZ acts as effective flame holder/stabilization mode. Double concentric swirling jet is employed in plethora of industrial applications such as heat exchange, spray drying and combustion. As such, understanding essential features of vortex
breakdown induced IRZ and its acoustic response in swirling
flow/flame is important in thermo-acoustic instability studies.
The key results of the present experimental investigation are discussed in four parts. In the first part, primary transition (sub-critical states) from a pre-vortex
breakdown (Pre-VB)
flow reversal to a fully-developed central toroidal recirculation zone (CTRZ) in a non-reacting, double-concentric swirling jet configuration is discussed when the swirl number is varied in the range 0.592 S 0.801. This transition proceeds with the formation of two intermediate, critical
flow regimes. First, a partially-penetrated vortex
breakdown bubble (VBB) is formed that indicates the first occurrence of an enclosed structure resulting in an opposed
flow stagnation region. Second, a metastable transition structure is formed that marks the collapse of inner mixing vortices. In this study, the time-averaged topological changes in the coherent recirculation structures are discussed based on the non-dimensional modified Rossby number (Rom) which appears to describe the spreading of the zone of swirl influence in different
flow regimes. The second part describes a secondary transition from an open-bubble type axisymmetric vortex
breakdown (sub-critical states) to partially-open bubble mode (super-critical states) through an intermediate, critical regime of conical sheet formation for
flow modes Rom ≤ 1 is discussed when the swirl number (S) is increased beyond 0.801.
In the third part, amplitude dependent acoustic response of above mentioned sub and supercritical
flow states is discussed. It was observed that the global acoustic response of the sub-critical VB states was fundamentally different from their corresponding super-critical modes. In particular, with a stepwise increase in excitation amplitude till a critical value, the sub-critical VB topology moved downstream and radially outward. Beyond a critical magnitude, the VB bubble transited back upstream and finally underwent radial shrinkage at the threshold
excitation amplitude. On the other hand, the topology of the super-critical VB state continuously moved downstream and radially outwards and finally widened/fanned-out at threshold amplitude.
In the final part, transition in time-averaged flame global flame structure is reported as a function of geometric swirl number. In particular, with a stepwise increase in swirl intensity, primary transition is depicted as a transformation from zero-swirl straight jet flame to lifted flame with blue base and…

▼ Workplace studies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a research field that has expanded in an explosive way during the recent years. Today there is a wide range of theoretical approaches and methods to choose from, which makes it problematic to make methodological choices both in research and system design. While there have been several studies that assess the different approaches to workplace studies, there seems to be a lack of studies that explore the theoretical and methodological differences between more structured methods within the research field. In this thesis, a comparative theoretical and empirical analysis of three methods for workplace studies is being conducted to deal with the following research problem: What level of theoretical depth and methodological structure is appropriate when conducting methods for workplace studies to inform design of complex socio-technical systems? When using the two criterions descriptive power and application power, to assess Contextual Design (CD), Determining Information Flow Breakdown (DIB), and Capturing Semi-Automated Decision-Making (CASADEMA), important lessons are learned about which methods are acceptable and useful when the purpose is to inform system design.

▼ The effects of boundary layer development and turbulence on a gas-blown spark gap switch operated in the self breakdown mode are presented. The switch consisted of two electrodes mounted flush in the diverging walls of a wind tunnel. The electrode spacing was 2.54 mm at the minimum separation distance and the wind tunnel had an aspect ratio based on the minimum separation distance of 40:1 to insure two-dimensional flow. To obtain various stages of boundary layer development for laminar flow, entry lengths of 0, 6.19, 17.46, 22.78, and 57.3 cm were used. These were tested at divergence angles of 5.0 and 10.0 degrees. Turbulence was investigated by placing a coarse, plastic grid 7.62 mm" upstream of the minimum electrode spacing using the 22.78 cm entry length and a 10.0 degree divergence angle. The gas used was instrument grade dry air (< 10 ppm H2O), and the electrode material was 304 stainless steel.
It was found that switch performance at low flow velocities was improved with entry lengths up to 17.46 cm and then deteriorated with increasing length. This suggests that there is a stage of boundary layer development that produces optimum switch operation at minimum flowrates. The results also suggest that there is an average gas density level that must be attained at the minimum separation point before the maximum voltage can again be applied to the switch. For the only turbulence test conducted, 10.0 degree divergence angle with an entry length of 27.78 cm, switch performance was improved as compared with the laminar case.

▼ The effects of mass flow rate and electrode divergence angle on the performance of a gas-blown spark gap switch operated in the self-breakdown repetitive mode are presented. The switch was flushed with a two-dimensional, laminar flow directed between a diverging pair of electrodes. Voltage versus t i a e data were obtained for two average flow velocities, based on the flow area at the point of minimum electrode separation, of 4.1 and 8.2 m/s. The two divergence angles used were 5 and 10 degrees, and the minimum electrode separation distance was 2.54 ma. High-speed interferograms showing density variations in the gas were obtained and linked with the voltage data in order to identify various types of breakdown events and to develop both qualitative and quantitative definitions for use in the reduction of the data. From the analysis of the data, it was determined that an increase in either the mass flow rate or the electrode divergence angle improved switch performance by reducing the percentage of switch closures which were considered failures.

▼ Sustained casing pressure (SCP) is considered a well integrity problem. The approach of this study is to look at SCP as environmental risk due hydrocarbon release. Currently, the risk is qualified by the value of surface pressure (Pcsg) that may cause failure of casing head. However, the resulting rate of gas emission to the atmosphere is not considered. Also not considered is a possibility of breaching the casing shoe due transmission of Pcsg downhole. The objective of this study is to develop methods for maximum possible air emission rates (MER) and risk of subsurface well integrity failure due SCP. Mathematical models and software are developed for computing MER, casing shoe strength (CSS) determined by leak-off test (LOT), and casing shoe pressure load resulting from SCP (SCPd). The models are used to find controlling parameters, identify the best and least-desirable scenarios, and assess environmental risk. It is concluded that emission potential of SCP wells with high wellhead pressure (Pcsg) can be quite small. The CSS model study reveals the importance of data recorded from LOT; particularly the time after circulation was stopped – the non-circulation time (∆ts). Ignoring ∆ts would result in underestimation of the ultimate CSS. The error is caused by the cumulative effect of thermally induced rock stresses, which strongly depend on ∆ts. The study displayed SCPd being controlled by the annular fluid properties which are subject to change in long time through mud aging; and mostly being overestimated. Comparison of surface versus subsurface failure scenarios yielded cases where the casing shoe demonstrates more restrictive failure criterion (CSS) than the burst rating of wellhead (MAWOP). Risk of casing shoe breaching (RK) is quantified using the CSS and SCPd models and application of risk analysis technique (QRA). The CSS distribution followed log-normal trend due the effect of ∆ts, while the SCPd distribution maybe of various shapes dependent on the annular fluid size and properties that are not well known. Possible scenarios of casing shoe breaching are statistically tested as a hypothesis of two means. The study produced engrossingly variant outcomes, RK changing from 1 to 80 percent.

▼ The aerodynamics of wings with moderately swept wings continues to be a challenging and important problem due to the current and future use in military aircraft. And yet, there is very little work devoted to the understanding of the aerodynamics of such wings. The problem is that such wings may be able to sustain attached
flow next to broken-down delta-wing vortices, or stall like two-dimensional wings, while shedding vortices with generators parallel to their leading edge. To address this situation we studied the
flow field over diamond-shaped planforms and sharp-edged finite wings. Possible mechanisms for
flow control were identified and tested. We explored the aerodynamics of swept leading edges with no control. We presented velocity and vorticity distributions along planes normal and parallel to the free stream for wings with diamond shaped planform and sharp leading edges. We also presented pressure distributions over the suction side of the wing. Results indicated that in the inboard part of the wing, an attached vortex can be sustained, reminiscent of delta-wing type of a tip vortex, but further in the outboard region 2-D stall dominated even at 13° AOA and total stall at 21° AOA. To explore the unsteady
flow field and the effectiveness of leading-edge control of the
flow over a diamond-planform wing at 13° AOA, we employed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) at a Reynolds number of 43,000 in a water tunnel. Our results indicated that two-D-like vortices were periodically generated and shed. At the same time, an underline feature of the
flow, a leading edge vortex was periodically activated, penetrating the separated
flow, eventually emerging downstream of the trailing edge of the wing. To study the motion and its control at higher Reynolds numbers, namely 1.3 x 106 we conducted experiments in a wind tunnel. Three control mechanisms were employed, an oscillating mini-flap, a pulsed jet and spanwise continuous blowing. A finite wing with parallel leading and trailing edges and a rectangular tip was swept by 0°, 20°, and 40° and the pulsed jet employed as is control mechanism. A wing with a diamond-shaped-planform, with a leading edge sweep of 42°, was tested with the mini-flap. Surface pressure distributions were obtained and the control
flow results were contrasted with the no-control cases. Our results indicated
flow control was very effective at 20° sweep, but less so at 40° or 42°. It was found that steady spanwise blowing is much more effective at the higher sweep angle.

▼ The introduction of connected vehicles, connected and automated vehicles, and advanced infrastructure sensors will allow the collection of microscopic measures that can be used in combination with macroscopic measures for better estimation of traffic safety and mobility. This dissertation examines the use of microscopic measures in combination with the usually used macroscopic measures for traffic congestion evaluation, traffic state categorization, traffic
flow breakdown prediction, and estimation of traffic safety. The considered macroscopic measures are the mean speed, traffic
flow rate, and occupancy. The investigated microscopic measures for the stated purpose are: standard deviations of individual vehicle’s speeds, standard deviation of vehicles’ speed, and disturbance metrics. The utilized disturbance metrics to capture the stop-and-go operations are: the number of oscillations and a measure of disturbance durations in terms of the time exposed time–to–collision (TET), which has been used in other studies as a safety surrogate measure. However, this measure of disturbance duration requires the location and speed of both the leading and following vehicles and therefore cannot be measured accurately with low sample sizes of connected vehicles (CV). Thus, this study derived a model to estimate this measure based on speed parameters. The developed model was tested using real-world trajectory data from two locations that were not used in the development of the model.
Moreover, the percentage of vehicles in the platoon and the platoon size distribution were evaluated as additional indicators of congestion. The relationship between the platooning and disturbance metrics and the speed parameters were further explored. It is recognized that the parameters required to identify the platoons, such as the time headway, will not be available based on data from low market penetrations of CV. Thus, a model was developed that utilize other measures for the estimation of the platooning measures at lower CV market penetrations.
For the purpose of traffic state recognition and prediction, first, the study used a hybrid of two unsupervised clustering techniques to classify traffic states into “breakdown” and “non-breakdown”. The study found that adding the disturbance metrics in data clustering when identifying the traffic states will result in better traffic state recognition and traffic
flow breakdown identification by capturing the disturbances in the traffic stream. The categorized traffic state was then used as a binary response to the macroscopic and microscopic measures, as features, to train supervised machine learning techniques for predicting traffic
flow breakdown in the following 5-minute interval in real-time operations. The study found that utilizing disturbance and safety surrogate metrics in the real-time classification of traffic
flow state increases the accuracy of prediction.
Also, the study showed that the investigated disturbance metrics and associated models and thresholds are…

▼ The overall objective of this work was to develop an
active fluidic control system that can effectively manipulate the
vortex
breakdown location over a highly swept delta wing. By moving
the vortex
breakdown fore or aft, a pitching moment can be induced
on the delta wing without the use of any conventional control
surfaces. The active control system can be incorporated into a
feedback loop to input a desired pitching moment based on the
real-time measured surface pressure. The type of active fluidic
control system shown to be the most effective at delaying vortex
breakdown was the along-core injection technique. In the previous
studies using this technique, the control was an open loop system,
that is, the
flow field was observed and measured and then
injection conditions were changed manually. The process was
repeated until optimal conditions were observed. In order to move
this technique closer to practical application, two important steps
must be taken. The fist step is to close the control loop so that
input changes can be instantly made according to the changing
flow
field. The second step is to simplify and optimize the control
system. One advantage this control system has over conventional
control surfaces is its simplicity. Conventional control surfaces
employ complex and costly combinations of hydraulic and electronic
components whereas the along-core injection system requires only
solenoid actuators and a source of compressed air. Compressed air
is readily available in the form of compressor bleed on most gas
turbine engines. Other advantages of this system include
elimination of drag due to deployed control surfaces and reduced
radar vulnerability. A 60° delta wing model with a maximum span of
15.5 inches and a root chord of 13.5 inches was mounted in a
subsonic wind tunnel. The wing is equipped with six control jets
with variable azimuthal and pitch angles on the top surface
approximately beneath the vortex core. A thorough optimization
process was completed measuring static pressure to determine vortex
breakdown location. Other variables in addition to azimuthal and
pitch angles were injection momentum, frequency, and duty cycle.
Measuring dynamic pressure, that is pressure fluctuation due to
vortex shedding and pulsed injection, was also necessary to the
development of a control algorithm. Dynamic pressure was measured
at four chord-wise locations with uniform and randomly modulated
duty cycles in order to ascertain duty cycle sensitivity on the
systems overall effectiveness.

▼ Há a necessidade de prevenir formação de gelo nas asas e nos estabilizadores de aeronaves, pois as formas de gelo podem causar a degradação do desempenho aerodinâmico, o aumento de peso, bem como dificuldades de controle e manobra que, em casos críticos, leva a uma diminuição da margem de segurança operacional. Quando as aeronaves atravessam nuvens com gotículas de água sub-resfriadas, ou seja, em equilíbrio metaestável, o crescimento de gelo ocorre nas superfícies não protegidas. Usualmente, os sistemas antigelo térmicos de aerofólios são projetados, desenvolvidos e certificados com o auxílio de programas de simulação numérica. O presente trabalho visa desenvolver e implementar um modelo matemático para prever a transferência de calor e massa no escoamento bidimensional bifásico em torno de aerofólios de uso aeronáuticos, equipados com sistema de antigelo térmico operando em regime permanente. Em condições de formação de gelo, é necessário aquecer o bordo de ataque e controlar a temperatura da região protegida para que não ocorra formação de gelo. O sistema de aquecimento compensa os efeitos do resfriamento imposto principalmente pelos mecanismos acoplados de evaporação e transferência de calor por convecção, que são causados pelo escoamento do ar carregado de gotículas sub-resfriadas e pelo escoamento da água líquida residual. O modelo deverá estimar a distribuição de temperaturas de superfície e o coeficiente de transferência de calor com precisão ao uso em aplicações aeronáuticas. O presente trabalho implementou novos submodelos para: 1) estimar a molhabilidade da superfície do aerofólio por meio de um modelo matemático para caracterizar o escoamento da água líquida residual na padrão de filme e de filetes; 2) avaliar o comportamento dinâmico e térmico da camada-limite laminar e turbulenta por meio de análises integral e diferencial, que considera efeitos do gradiente de pressão, da transição laminar-turbulenta, da transpiração e da não uniformidade de temperatura da superfície e 3) estimar o início e o término da região de transição laminar-turbulenta. O presente trabalho seguiu um processo de desenvolvimento de código numérico que: verificou os resultados de cada submodelo separadamente para depois implementados no modelo do antigelo; validou os resultados da simulação de desempenho do sistema antigelo com os novos submodelos implementados. Os resultados obtidos foram considerados satisfatórios para o modelo do antigelo que utilizou os submodelos de ruptura de filme e formação de filetes pelo critério da Energia Mecânica Total Mínima, de camada-limite diferencial compressível e de previsão da transição laminar-turbulenta por correlações algébricas, que consideraram efeitos do gradiente de pressão e do nível de turbulência ao longe.

▼ [pt] Uma preocupação constante referente às operações
de reinício de escoamento em poços produtores de óleo é a
previsibilidade da mínima pressão necessária para iniciar o fluxo
após uma parada de produção. Tal pressão se refere àquela que
promove tensões de cisalhamento junto à parede do duto que superam
o valor da tensão limite de escoamento do referido fluido. A
necessidade de desenvolvimento de diferentes tipos de campos de
petróleo ao redor do mundo tem promovido discussões sobre
importantes aspectos de garantia de escoamento dos fluidos,
especialmente em cenários de produção em águas ultra-profundas.
Nesses casos, quando o fluido apresenta valores elevados para a
temperatura mínima de aparecimento de cristais (TIAC) ou ainda para
a tensão limite de escoamento, o procedimento de repartida de poço
após uma parada de produção pode representar um problema. Em geral,
os modelos tixotrópicos utilizados na avaliação de reinício do
escoamento são definidos por uma equação constitutiva baseada no
modelo de Bingham, na qual a tensão de cisalhamento depende do grau
de estruturação do fluido no interior do duto, representado por um
parâmetro adimensional positivo (lambda). A evolução deste
parâmetro no tempo é governada por uma equação constitutiva que
considera um termo de construção e um termo de quebra do gel. Este
trabalho tem como principal objetivo avaliar o comportamento do
reinício da produção através da variação destes parâmetros/termos
segundo modelos tixotrópicos específicos (Houska e SMT) e a
representatividade dos resultados de simulação quando comparados
aos dados experimentais.
[en] The main concern regarding to the restart
operations for production wells in oil and gas systems is the
forecast of minimum pressure needed to overcome the gel strength,
i.e. the pressure which generates a wall stress higher than the
yield stress of the gelled oil. The petroleum accumulations around
the world have raised big issues regarding flow assurance aspects,
especially in some ultra-deep water scenarios. In these cases, when
the oil presents unusual high values for the Wax Appearance
Temperature (WAT) and even for the yield stress, the flow restart
procedure can be an issue, after shutdown times of the oil
production. Usually, the thixotropic models applied for start-up
flow are defined by a Bingham-like stress equation whose yield
stress depends on a structure parameter (lambda), following Houska
assumptions. This parameter is a non-negative scalar number that
represents the structuring level of the material inside the
pipeline. The structure parameter is governed by an evolution
equation that considers a build-up term and a breakdown term. The
main objective of this work is to evaluate the relationship between
the parameters of the constitutive equations for Houska and SMT
models (dimensionless coefficients of the evolution equations for
the structure parameter) and the representativeness of the
simulation results obtained by these models, regarding times for
the production stabilization after a restart, delay times…

▼ Freeways and highways form an integral part of any road network system demanding significant quantities of resources to plan and construct. During times of congestion and flow breakdown forms of traffic management are required to maintain the efficiency, reliability and safety of these high asset road facilities. Here within lies the responsibilities of traffic engineering professionals. The lack of adequate maintenance and management of any urban road network system hinders economic development and quality of life.Ramp metering is an active traffic management system implemented on high speed, free flowing facilities such as freeways and highways. This form of intelligent transport system has been applied to freeways throughout the world to regulate the intensity and demand proportion of freeway inflow during peak demand periods. The primary goal is to manage the existing roadway to operate at maximum efficiency. Main Roads Western Australia, the governing road authority in Western Australia is currently in a position to investigate the suitability of ramp metering on Western Australia's freeways.This research demonstrates how traffic movement and interaction can be mapped and characterised to identify forms of traffic flow breakdown that ramp metering has the potential to address. This research also documents the required components of ramp metering, how it should operate and the potential this active management system has to be applied over a system wide road network infrastructure.The Mitchell Freeway southbound direction undergoes significant forms of congestion and traffic flow breakdown during the morning peak period. A traffic characteristic of the Mitchell Freeway was developed to make an evaluation for the suitability of ramp metering as an effective management system. An analytical comparison between current freeway queues and theoretical on-ramp queues provided indication that the congestion and flow breakdown currently observed had the potential to be managed through ramp metering, ensuring the future sustainability of this vital freeway for the city of Perth, Western Australia.

▼ An artificially Thickened Flame (TF) approach based on LES framework is used to model the turbulent premixed combustion in gas turbine combustors. A number of variants of the Thickened Flame approach including a modified version of TF model have been studied in details. In the TF model, the flame front is artificially thickened to resolve on LES computational grid. With this approach, reaction rate modeling does not require any ad-hoc closure assumptions. However, suitable modifications have to be made to compensate for flame thickening. To verify the predictive capability of the models, a stoichiometric methane-air flame on Bunsen burner type geometry has been simulated and the TF model predictions compared with experimental data as well as with other model predictions. As a part of this research, turbulent flow over a backward facing step, isothermal swirling flow in a confined geometry have also been studied and predictions are compared with experiments. Good agreement with data is obtained that validates the LES model used. The validated LES based TF model is used to investigate flashback behavior in hydrogen enriched premixed flame in a swirled combustor. Firstly, non-reacting and reacting flows with natural gas are studied, followed by hydrogen enriched combustion. In general, the LES predictions for both reacting and non-reacting cases are found to be in good agreement with measurements. In non-reacting flow conditions, the recirculation zones (WRZ, CRZ and CTRZ) are clearly observed, especially at high Reynolds number. Moreover, the observations reveal that higher combustibility of hydrogen causes Combustion Induced Vortex Breakdown driven flashback due to complex interaction of chemical reaction in swirled burner, resulting in faster flame propagation into the upstream mixing tube. In particular, combined effect of baroclinic production and vortex stretching accelerates the upstream flame propagation in hydrogen-enriched mixture, while only methane shows stable behavior. Further, the effect of swirl strength, premixedness and geometry has also been studied on flashback behavior of hydrogen enriched mixture. Flame flashback is always observed at higher swirl strength irrespective of level of premixedness and burner geometry, whereas the premixed systems exhibit stable behavior while operating under lower swirl strength.

▼ The present thesis results from a long period research in two scientific areas for the physicochemical study of various systems.The first part refers to the physicochemical study of materials using the modern method of the laser induced fluorescence. It was conducted in collaboration of Professor Fani Roubani- Kalantzopoulou with Dr. M. Kompitsas, head of the Laser-based Techniques and Applications Lab, at the Institute of Theoretical and Physical Chemistry of the National Hellenic Research Foundation, where exists an integrated instrumental system with lasers.In this context, the hydroxyl radical (OH) in atmospheric reaction was studied. It is an important intermediate in elementary reactions and reacts with the emitted pollutants in the atmosphere.The method LIF in conjunction with the Time Resolved analysis of the obtained spectra was employed as an analytical tool for the qualitative and quantitative determination of various pollutants in liquids. Specifically, the LIF spectra of various polycyclic hydrocarbons were studied, the identification of anthracene and pyrene in their mixture was achieved. Moreover, the LIF spectra of various products of crude oils were investigated, e.g. unleaded and super unleaded gasoline, kerosene in aquatic solutions, as well as useful results for their quantitative determination are concluded.The method of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, which is an extension of LIF-TR, was used as an analytical method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of solid materials, e.g. steel samples, oxides and glass (andesite). All the parameters, which influence the above-mentioned method, were in detail investigated, applying appropriate methodology in order to minimize their impact. The quantitative determination of nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn) in steel alloys was achieved, presenting good correlation results.In the second part of the thesis, the recently developed method of Reversed Flow-Inverse Gas Chromatography was used in order to study the impact of air pollutants in the surface of solids. Specifically, the mechanism of adsorption of gases on solids was investigated, as well as the possibility of synergy effects of the air pollutants, through an experimental approach for the first time.The following systems were studied:A.Aliphatic hydrocarbons C2H6, C2H4, C2H2, C3H6, C4H8, in the presence or absence of ozone (O3) on calcium oxide (CaO) and on silicon dioxide(SiO2)B.Aromatic hydrocarbons, C6H8, C7H8, in the presence or absence of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on oxides of various metals, PbO, Cr2O3, TiO2, ZnO και σε Fe2O3C.Aliphatic hydrocarbons, C2H2, in the presence or not of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on pentelic marbleD.Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on titanium oxide (TiO2), on pentelic marble and on ceramicFrom the obtained results, with the use of an appropriate mathematical model, the following physicochemical quantities are determined, which are dependent on time:1.The local adsorption energy of the gas on the solid, ε,2.The local adsorption isotherm, θ,3.The…

▼ The natural unsteadiness in the post-
breakdown flowfield of a 75° sweep delta wing at 40° angle of attack was studied with dual and single point hot-wire anemometry in the Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM) Wind Tunnel at a Reynolds number Re = 210,000. Data were taken in five crossflow planes surrounding the wing's trailing edge. Results showed a dominant narrowband Strouhal frequency of St = 1.5 covering approximately 80% of the area with lower-intensity broadband secondary frequencies over 15% of that region. Cross-correlations between a fixed and traversing wire were calculated and phase and coherences mapped to determine the convection speed and trajectory of the helical mode instability. High-speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was conducted over a 75° sweep delta wing at 40° angle of attack in the ESM Water Tunnel II at Re = 45,000. Data were taken along the axis of the vortex in the
breakdown flowfield at a speed of 0.1% of the convective time scale of the
flow. Animations of instantaneous streamlines and velocity vectors revealed the impression of a helically spiralling vortex core on the measurement plane. Spectral analysis of the PIV data showed reduced frequencies which confirmed those found with the single-point measurements made in the ESM Wind Tunnel. The effect of four novel control surfaces on the
breakdown flowfield of the delta wing was studied with surface pressure measurements along the axis of the vortex in the ESM Wind Tunnel. The apex flap was found effective and delayed vortex
breakdown by 8° for a fixed wing. The flowfield was characterized over the delta wing executing a pitch-up maneuver at a reduced frequency of 0.06. Surface pressure measurements were taken in the ESM Wind Tunnel and Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) was employed in the ESM Water Tunnel I as both the unmodified wing and then the wing with an apex flap deployed at an optimal angle b = 15° executed the pitch-up. Both sets of data confirmed the hysteresis of the flowfield. The LDV data, taken in two crossflow planes throughout the maneuver, showed an asymmetric
breakdown development. As a practical extension of the study of the
breakdown wake flowfield, hot-wire measurements were made over an F/A-18 model to determine the spectral characteristics of the flowfield. Three-dimensional vortex interactions were investigated with helium bubble
flow visualization in the VPI Stability Tunnel.

Both models contain a number of adjustable parameters and auxiliary conditions that must be either modelled or experimentally determined, and the effects of varying these on the resulting flow solutions is quantified.
To these ends, the behaviour of the micropolar model for self-similar flow over a surface that is both stretching and transpiring is explored in depth. The simplified governing equations permit both analytic and numerical approaches to be adopted, and a number of closed form solutions (both exact and approximate) are obtained using perturbation and order of magnitude analyses. Results are
compared with the corresponding Newtonian flow solution in order to highlight the differences between the micropolar and classical models, and significant new
insights into the behaviour of the micropolar model are revealed for this flow. The behaviour of the RNG-bas based models for swirling flow with vortex breakdown zones is explored in depth via computational modelling of two experimental data sets and an idealised breakdown flow configuration. Meticulous modeling of upstream auxillary conditions is required to correctly assess the behavior of the models studied in this work. The novel concept of using the results to infer the role of turbulence in the onset and topology of the breakdown zone is employed.

▼ Vortex
breakdown is an important phenomenon observed in swirling flows involving the development of a stagnation point on the axis of the vortex followed by a region of recirculation when the swirl increases beyond a particular level. It has been studied extensively over past 50 years and various theories have been proposed to explain its various aspects. However, a single model explaining all the aspects together is yet to emerge. Numerical simulations of
breakdown have been performed using a variety of grid-based as well as vortex methods.
Vortex methods are a Lagrangian alternative to grid-based methods wherein the motion of the vorticity is determined by the local fluid velocity convection, with models for viscous effects when considered. The fluid velocity is obtained from the vorticity field. Only the rotational regions of the
flow need to be considered leading to significant economy of computational effort for simulations of vorticity dominated flows, such as vortex
breakdown.
The inviscid vortex filament method has been used to simulate several aspects of the vortex
breakdown phenomenon. The vortex filament method however, cannot easily simulate viscous effects. To simulate the viscous effects the viscous vortex particle method needs to be used. This work was intended to be a first step towards this end by initially evaluating the effectiveness of the inviscid version of the vortex particle method in simulating the
breakdown phenomenon.
The inviscid vortex particle method was found to satisfactorily simulate most qualitative aspects involved in the formation of vortex
breakdown such as the retardation of axial velocity along centerline, radial swelling of the vortex core, formation of stagnation points, creation of azimuthal vorticity gradient from axial vorticity gradient and the turning of vortex lines along with the formation of a bubble-like structure with recirculating
flow within.
The effect of a wall placed adjacent to the vortex core was simulated by using image vortices. The wall was not found to influence the location of
breakdown. However, the initiation of the spiral mode was found to occur earlier when a wall was present.
For a quantitative assessment, a simulation of the experimental results of Faler and Leibovich (1978) was attempted. The simulation managed to predict the location of the
breakdown and the extent of the bubble. The shape and height of the bubble obtained however were not in accord with the experimental observations. A single vortical cell was obtained in the interior of the bubble.

▼ In this work the isothermal flow field generated by the interaction of an internal swirling jet with an external parallel flow is experimentally investigated with the use of 2D Digital Particle Image Velocimetry. Swirl is produced through tangential injection of air. Parametric change of inlet flow rates (constant tangential injection with change of annular flow and vice versa) is being considered in order to study the mean and turbulent flow field. Coaxial swirling jets are widely used in combustion systems as they enhance fuel and oxidant mixing and flame stabilization. Amongst well known features of introducing swirl in jet flows (increase of jet growth, entrainment and decay), highly swirling jets have been studied in combustion configurations as they impose radial and axial pressure gradients generating an internal toroidal recirculation zone, a phenomenon known as “vortex breakdown”. The complex structure of vortex breakdown has been a challenging issue for experimentalists over the past few decades emphasizing on its effect on aerodynamic and mixing attributes of combustion flow fields. Focusing on the study of coaxial swirling jets, rather limited data has been presented up to now, regarding the topology and turbulent attributes of the flow field created by coaxial jets with inner and/or outer swirl. Following previous work on coaxial swirling jets with inner or outer swirl and coaxial jets without swirl which lead to recirculation, a sufficient need for a deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms developing in such complex flow fields, comes up. This Thesis stands as an attempt to present the main features of such a complex flow field, which results from the interaction of a typical swirling jet undergoing “vortex breakdown” with an outer annular flow with “back step flow” characteristics. An analysis of the mean and turbulent flow statistics is presented, correlating flow field mechanisms with the three dimensional shear layer characteristics and the topology of the recirculating flow field (recirculation bubble, vortex ring). Research on vortex breakdown phenomena has led to a parallel research on the critical parameters that could determine whether vortex breakdown will occur. The definition of non-dimensional parameters (Swirl/ Rossby number etc), mainly based on the correlation of axial and azimuthal velocities or momenta, has been an issue of scientific interest that has often led to different approaches and criteria for vortex breakdown prediction. Additionally, it is seen through literature review that predicting vortex breakdown is not by itself adequate to characterize the mean and turbulent features of the recirculating flow field. In the case of coaxial jets, with or without swirl, previous studies have shown that the flow field created is strongly affected not only by the velocity or mass flow ratio of the jets but also by the absolute values of the jets’ velocities or the velocity jump between the two streams. For the case of coaxial swirling jets it is apparent that the interaction…

▼ With the increasing concerns about our environment
and human health, more and more stringent emission limits have been
specified. These adopted and still coming emission limits require
and promote more accurate, less experiential methods to design and
develop the combustors. In this thesis, computation fluid dynamics
(CFD) technology, based on large eddy simulation (LES) and level
set G-equation methods, is applied to study the turbulent premixed
combustion related problems. This thesis work consists of three
parts. First, this thesis studies the flow structures of isothermal
turbulent swirling flows in a dump combustor related geometry, and
compared the simulation results with corresponding experimental
data. The aims are to gain deeper understanding of the flow and
turbulence structures in dump combustors and to examine the
capability of LES for prediction of turbulent swirling flows. With
appropriate inflow, outflow boundary conditions, and fine grid
resolution, LES successfully simulates the vortex breakdown, and
the anisotropic turbulence structures for all the swirl numbers
considered. Large-scale motion of the vortex core center, i.e. the
so-called precessing vortex core (PVC) phenomenon, is predicted.
The PVC is found to rotate around the combustor axis at a frequency
about 18?25 Hz (Strouhal number about 0.17?0.4). To model the
turbulent premixed combustion processes, a level set G-equation is
first derived in the LES framework. Some aspects of the level set
G-equation have also been addressed in detail in this dissertation.
This level set G-equation combined with the stationary flamelet
library is used to simulate a lean premixed propane/air flame in a
jet engine afterburner. The results indicate that the fluctuation
of the flame surface, which is responsible for the broadening of
the time averaged mean flame brush by turbulence, depends on the
large resolved turbulence eddies. Time averaged mean flow velocity,
temperature and major species concentrations also mainly depend on
these large scale resolved eddies. Contrarily, the unresolved
subgrid scale (SGS) eddies mainly contribute to the wrinkling at
the SGS level and play an important role in the enhancement of the
propagation speed of the resolved flame front. In addition, the
spatially filtered intermediate species such as CO strongly depends
on the small SGS eddies. Further, the effect of subgrid scale
eddies on the wrinkling of premixed turbulent flame is studied
using a so-called h-equation, in which the flow field is a
prescribed shear flow field with eddies of different scales. It is
shown that the effect of subgrid eddies on the wrinkling of flame
surface decreases monotonically with the LES filter size; however,
the decrease rate strongly depends on the filter size. This implies
that, if one wants to resolve most of the flame wrinkling, rather
fine grid resolution and filter size should be
used.

▼ This bachelor's thesis deals with measurement of liquid insulators. Mainly it deals with diagnostic tests of transformer oil. Diagnostic tests are needed to identify oil status and to determine the parameters of the oil. The status of the used oil determines its type of degradation and progress of degradation. For the determination of degradation it is necessary to know the composition of the essential oil, to determine how it has changed the structure of the oil and the oil did not contain before use. To determine the basic electrical properties of the oil are used in diagnostic tests such as dielectric strength and dissipation factor. This work is in addition to a summary of diagnostic tests observation of mineral oil with an unknown degree of degradation and behavior of impurities in mineral oil once the electric field.
