Numerical simulation of cavitating bubble-laden turbulent flows

Creator:

Shams Sobhani, Ehsan

Abstract:

Many engineering devices and propulsion systems suffer from undesirable effects of cavitation; such as degradation in the efficiency of pumps and turbines, generation of noise and vibration on ship propeller, increased drag and erosion of propeller blade, etc. In spite of decades of research on this problem, detailed study of...

Dissertation
Clearing bubble blockages in micro channels using a model predictive controller

Creator:

Patton, Chris

Abstract:

Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leading to decreases in system performance. In this work, a simulation-based control strategy is employed to eliminate flow...

A multiscale modeling approach for bubble-vortex interactions in hydro-propulsion systems

Creator:

Finn, Justin Richard

Abstract:

Multiphase flow dynamics are important in many naval and turbomachinery applications, where bubble interaction with low pressure, vortical structures can lead to undesirable cavitation effects. To better understand the underlying phenomena, a multiscale numerical framework is developed to simulate bubble laden flow in dynamic hydro propulsion systems. Several subproblems in...
