Aerodynamic analysis and design of a solar powered vehicle using CFD
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The need for solar-powered vehicles is increasing as the threat of depletion of non-renewable energy sources, such as oil, increases. This gives reason for developing electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources, ... -
CFD modelling of air flow through a finned coil heat exchanger to improve heat transfer and pressure drop predictions
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)In the current study, a method of lessening computational expense and model design effort is investigated for finned coil heat exchangers (FCHXs) by using STAR-CCM+ as simulation tool. The simulation model prediction ... -
Investigation into the velocity distribution through an annular packed bed
(North-West University, 2009)The purpose of this study was to investigate the velocity distribution through an annular bed packed randomly with equal sized spheres. Extensive research has been conducted on the velocity distribution inside packed ... -
Mitigation strategies for hydrogen safety in the confined environment : CFD modelling and validation
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)This research is based on experimental evaluation and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling validation. Full-scale tests to investigate unintended hydrogen release were conducted at the HySA Mining Platform Test ... -
Thermal fluid network model for a prismatic block in a gas-cooled reactor using FLOWNEX
(2015)Very High Temperature Reactors are complex reactors and various system codes have been developed to design different aspects such as neutronics, thermal hydraulics etc. Flownex is one of the system codes and it has been ...
