Over the past few decades, aircraft icing has been the subject of numerous studies. Ice accretion on an aircraft can damage its aerodynamic performance. It can also have a devastating affect on structures such as high ...

A new methodology was developed for flow regime identification in pipes. The method utilizes the pattern recognition abilities of Artificial Neural Networks and the unprocessed time series of a system-monitoring-signal. The ...

A new method is developed to deal with shape optimization problems. The core idea of the method is to introduce the knot insertion algorithm which keeps the geometry unchanged while increasing the number of control ...

A new methodology was developed for the numerical simulation of transient two-phase flow in pipes. The method combines high-resolution numerical solvers and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) techniques, and can achieve an ...

In this thesis a new Cartesian cut-cell scheme has been presented which solves the in- compressible Navier-Stokes equations using a finite volume approach and a staggered grid. The equations have been solved in ...

The sponsoring company of the project is BP. The framework within which the research is placed is that of the Transient Multiphase Flow Programme (TMF-4), a consortium of companies that are interested in phenomena related ...

This Thesis is about the application of coupled multigrid solvers to the numeri- cal simulation of viscous incompressible fluids. In the centre of discussion is the adaptivity between a one-dimensional solver and a ...
