Deliverables

URANS in Kaplan hydro-turbines and assessment of cavitation models accuracy (opens in new window)

Perform numerical simulations based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM) with reference to Kaplan hydro-turbines. Implement different bubble-dynamics (i.e. Rayleigh-Plesset derived) and barotropic cavitation models and verify their accuracy against existing experimental data.

Validated adjoint method for cavitating flows (opens in new window)

A report on the activity of extending the continuous adjoint method available at NTUA to two-phase/cavitating flows and incorporate the newly-developed modelling framework in NTUA’s GPU-enabled CFD code PUMA; verifying the method on hydro-turbine geometries considering objective functions referring to cavitation and after effects minimisation.

Derive and implement adjoint equations for Multiphase with heat transfer for optimal design of EV BTMS (opens in new window)

Modelling of phase change phenomenon for pool boiling regimes (nucleate, transition and film boiling) and coupling of the flow solver to electrochemical models for battery heating in a conjugate heat transfer manner; Optimisation of the BTMS overall dimensions and geometrical features (e.g., surface patterning, battery cell spacing), maximizing bubble departure rate from the battery surfaces, and hence, overall heat transfer.

Adjoint method for cavitating flows incorporating compressibility effects (opens in new window)

Implement heat-transfer model describing different convective boiling regimes from slug up to annular flows in the commercial CFD code CONVERGE and formulate the numerical framework for the simulation of two-phase cooling systems applicable to heavy-duty Diesel engines.

Primal/Adjoint diffuse interface model dedicated to optimisation in FRESCO (opens in new window)

Augment the adjoint formulation by an adjoint floatation framework and an efficient approach for modelling the transient flow during the adjoint optimization to account for shape modification induced changes of the floatation and drag in steady and unsteady conditions.

Implementation of a numerical model relevant to water transport in the fuel cell channels (opens in new window)

Combination of FIRE’s PEM FC module with a suitable model for water transport in the fuel cell channels based on a VOF-type approach.

Data-driven reduced-order propulsion model (opens in new window)

Development of geometrically constraint, industrialized CAD-free adjoint shape optimization framework which considers a data-driven, reduced-order propulsion model during the optimization process.

Efficient compression schemes for SPH simulations of Pelton-turbine flow (opens in new window)

Derive suitable objective functions indicative of the hydrodynamic efficiency of Pelton hydro-turbines and implement an efficient approach to compress the transient flow field for a subsequent use during the optimisation.

Project web site (opens in new window)

A dedicated project website will be made, taken into the considerations of the gender and intersectionality aspects.
