Computational fluid dynamic investigations of flow through an aged CANDU pressure tube
(2021-08-01)
Single-phase, isothermal computational fluid dynamics simulations of twelve simplified CANDUTM 37M fuel bundles sitting in both as-received and aged pressure tubes were performed with Hydra in this work. The predicted ...
A CFD analysis of the pressure drop through misaligned Stirling engine regenerators
(2021-04-01)
Experiments were conducted to discover the average misalignment in wire mesh regenerators, and it was found that regardless of the intended stacking arrangement, the average misalignment was 44% to 49%. A 3-dimensional CFD ...
Development of a method for genetic optimization of aerodynamic devices
(2021-06-01)
Driving stability, fuel efficiency and soiling reduction are important for modern vehicles. This thesis has developed a novel method for genetic optimization of aerodynamic devices for road vehicle applications with the ...
