To achieve these, a coupled numerical and experimental investigation of ETIPS’s ice removal (ice shedding) mechanism is presented in this paper. Idealized ETIPS de-icing experiments performed in the icing wind tunnel of the von Karman Institute show several ice shedding mechanisms. A one-dimensional phase change solver developed for ice melting simulations highlights the water layer thickness influence over the ice shedding process. Coupled numerical–experimental results are employed to develop an idealized ice shedding model. The model is validated in realistic de-icing experiments in a second experimental campaign in the icing wind tunnel of the LeClerc Icing Research Laboratory.

Within the EU Clean Sky 2 projects, a blown flap configuration has been developed to allow STOL capabilities of a future affordable and green commuter belonging to EASA CS 23. The blowing system design choice is aimed at keeping the inevitable associated increase in pitching moment very low, and not penalizing performance when blowing fails. In collaboration between Piaggio Aerospace and the MOTHIF consortium, a wing model was designed, built and tested in the VKI’s large subsonic L1-A wind tunnel, reproducing bi-dimensional preliminary results obtained during the design phase. In order to reduce and predict three dimensional and blockage effects, CFD has been used extensively to obtain a proper test chamber configuration and to reprodu...

Experiments are carried out in a wind tunnel on a model of reduced scale (1/15). Force measurements are made using a three component balance. Two different bulbs are tested for different angle of attack. Velocity measurements are made using the Particle Image Velocimetry (P.I.V.) technique and a hot wire anemometer. Vortex shedding frequencies are computed from the P.I.V. results and drag values are obtained from the velocity measurements in a plane behind the bulb (wake survey analysis). The experimental results are used to validate the numerical simulations performed using the commercial code FLUENT 5.2. Different turbulence models are compared and a good agreement between the experimental and numerical results was found with the use of the standard k-e turbulence model and wall functions.

This liquid is characterized by a low Prandtl number (Pr = 0.025) and such fluids exhibit significant differences in thermal behaviour that cannot be reproduced by the existing turbulent heat transfer models. Consequently, for CFD simulations to accurately predict thermal stresses and help in the design of HLM reactors, more advanced models need to be developed. However, the basic problem is that there is limited experimental data available at low Prandtl number, and it is limited to confined channel flows. To answer these needs, the MYRTE project aims at generating a validation database for non-confined flows. A new wind tunnel had been built at The von Karman Institute in order to test a moderately low Prandtl number (Pr = 0.2) gas mixture (He-Xe). The purpose of these test campaigns is be to produce validation data for LES simulations and imp...

While reality is continuous in space and time, computers work in the discrete domain. This chapter refers in the basis to generic existing CFD best practice guidelines but elaborates on the specific guidelines that arise from the simulation of liquid metals. The guidelines are provided following the structure of simulation, that is, preprocessing, simulation (or processing), and postprocessing. Finally, the most relevant guidelines specific for nuclear liquid-metal CFD simulations are summarized.

The quantitative infrared thermograpy allows the temperature mapping of the strip while the angular evolution of the roll temperature is obtained by mean of thermocouples connected to a telemetry acquisition system. A thermal model allows the determination of the CTC. Typical results emphasize the effect of some parameters such as the velocity, the temperature and the tensile strength of the strip.
