Descripció:

The main goal of these projects is the resolution of the multidimensional Navier-Stokes equations using computational methods. The student is guided in developing his/her own simulation tools considering basic benchmark cases in laminar and turbulent flow regimes. After that, applications to a wide range of aeronautic and industrial situations can be carried out. The methodology is mainly based on finite-volume techniques using high-order discretization methods. The final title of the project is established once the application case is determined according to the student.

Objectius:

As mentioned before, the main goal of these projects is the resolution of the multidimensional Navier-Stokes equations using computational methods. The student is guided in developing his/her own simulation tools considering basic benchmark cases in laminar and turbulent flow regimes. The methodology is mainly based on finite-volume techniques using high-order discretization methods. Initially, structured meshes are used. However, extension to unstructured meshes will also be possible depending on the interest and background of the student on numerical methods and programming. The preferred computer language is C or C++. Once the student has developed the basic tools, the second objective of his/her project is focused on different areas: aerodynamics, thermal systems, concentrated solar power, combustion, gas or vapour turbines, thermal energy storage, etc. Even though the student is encouraged to develop these fundamental computational tools by him/herself as code developer, it is also possible to use open source codes (e.g., OpenFoam) or the CFD code created by our research Group (it is called TermoFluids). In this case, the student will develop specific subroutines to analyse specific applications.

Tasques a realitzar / Característiques:

Review of the state-of-the-art in computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer considering the selected application case. Mathematical modeling and numerical resolution of diffusion problems (conduction heat transfer and/or non-viscous flows using the stream function of velocity potential). Computational analysis of the generic convection-diffusion equation. Mathematical modelling and resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations considering relatively simple flow geometries. Analysis of turbulent flows. Application to the selected case of interest in the aeronautic and industrial field. Depending on the motivation of the student, the work can be focused on numerical aspects (parallelization, unstructured meshes, solvers, discretization techniques, etc.) or physical aspects (turbulence, compressible flows, combustion, fluid-solid interaction, etc.).
