Descripció del projecte
First year:
* Study of the general structure and main functions/objects of the TermoFluids general purpose code. TermoFluids is a parallel unstructured
CFD&HT code for the simulation of multiphysics and multiscale technological problems. The code has been developed by TermoFLuids S.L.
with the collaboration of the CTTC (UPC).
* Application to the aerodynamic flow complex geometries (flow in ducts, compact plate-and-tubes surfaces, etc.). Application to the
aerodynamic flow in fans and heat exchangers.
* Collaboration of optimum blade design and engine cooling solutions in order to suppress stall and surge problems at low flow conditions in
ram-air fan applications. This work is directly related to European projects with the participation of TermoFluids S.L.
Second-year:
* Modelling and numerical resolution of the frost growth in cooling surfaces. Multidimensional analysis. Comparative studies of different
existing mathematical models and development of new ones.
* Modelling of the humid air flow, considering fluid dynamic and mass and energy transfers in cooling surfaces or arbitrary shape.
Third year:
* Solid- fluid interaction considering frost growth and humid air flow. Variable geometry case with mass and energy diffusion. Application to
different technological fields.
