Simandl, Mirek ; Fialová, Simona (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals optimization of regenerative pump and axial pump with ring motors that are designed as a heart replacement. Analysis of the koncepts is performed which were made in previous master’s thesis. There is created a new design of construction and hydraulition with using flat motors based on the analysis. The compact assembly of two impeller was formulated that replaced left and right heart and it served as a function of heart replacement. A functional model of the pump is created, there is measured characteristics of impeller and results are compared with CFD analysis. The design requirements some parts of the axial pump are added and it’s deviced feasibility analysis.

CFD analysis of icing effects on commuter aircraft configuration
Zima, Martin ; Navrátil, Jan (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
The Diploma Thesis concerns investigation of icing effects at L 410 NG aircraft. The aircraft is certified under FAR/CS/AP-23 Commuter category. An analysis was performed for existing Pneumatic De-icing Boots System at the wing area according to three flight configurations and icing conditions referring to document Part 25 Appendix C and O. The analysis was done by CFD solver FENSAP-ICE for various runs with respect to the icing envelope. Cases were assigned as two 2D cross-sections situated at the aircraft’s wing aileron part. Cross-sectional Reynold’s number oscillate between 4.5–8.5×106. Automatic operation of Pneumatic De-icing Boots System was proposed. Attention was paid to the ice accretion aft to the Pneumatic De-icing Boots System. The Appendix (Příloha) P6 contains an English written Article concerning main Diploma Thesis sections.

Vortex pump as a possible heart replacement
Coufalík, Martin ; Klas, Roman (referee) ; Klas, Roman (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of artificial hearts and ventricular assist devices. The theoretical part describes the heart and its function. Blood is characterized in terms of rheological behavior and the possible criteria for hemolysis are discussed. The following section describes the most commonly used ventricular assist devices, with emphasis on the use of the regenerative pump, including its components. In the practical part, an experimental analysis of two pumps (COV 43 and COV 23) is performed. Furthermore, non-dimensional characteristics of the pumps are constructed using the laws of similarity. In the computational part, the CFD analysis of the regenerative pump is performed by means of stationary and transient calculation. The results are compared with the experimental findings and based on the results, the impeller of regenerative pump was modified.

Extension of Centrifugal Compressor Operational Stability
Růžička, Miroslav ; Třetina, Karel (referee) ; Kmoch, Petr (referee) ; Klement, Josef (advisor)
Centrifugal compressors with high pressure ratio are widely used in small aircraft turbine engines and turbocharges. At high rotational speeds they have narrow stable operating region and commonly used impellers with back swept blades are not able to ensure requested stability. In order to achieve wider stable operating region, some other anti-surge measures can be used, such as an Internal Recirculation Channel (IRC) located in compressor impeller inlet. This thesis deals with an investigation of IRC influence on centrifugal compressor operational parameters. As a first, the various recirculation channel geometry was studied by using of CFD analysis on simplified computational models. Those geometry, which indicated best results in terms of mass flow and looses in channel were used for testing on a model test device. Subsequently the same geometry was tested on real centrifugal compressor in experimental turbine engine to verify influence of IRC on compressor performance map – pressure ratio and efficiency. Simultaneously the CFD analyses of IRC with a 3D model of compressor impeller were performed and results compared with those, gained from measurement on model and compressor. In addition the measurement of flow field downstream the recirculation channel outlet slot with using of 3-hole pressure probe was performed and compared with flow velocity profiles evaluated from numerical simulations.

Optimized design of turbine engine intake
Kubo, Michal ; Matějů, Jiří (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
This master thesis deals with design of a subsonic intake which is used to supply small jet engine integrate into the fuselage of agile small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Some kinds of these intakes are listed in order to inspire and introduce future designers into this part of jet plane design. This thesis contains a small amount of theory about compressible flow, and necessary knowledge which are important to know before the very first attempt to design an intake. Two models were designed in order to prove that the theory listed in this thesis is useful and can be used as a guide in design process of subsonic intakes. Both designs have the same layout. S-duct design with one intake placed on the belly of fuselage was chosen. After CFD analysis of first model it was found that there are huge area with separated flow and vortex. Separated flow leads to big total pressure loss and pressure distortion. While designing the second model the emphasis was to avoid this vortex and improve flow conditions. This optimization was success and the second design have smaller pressure loss in compare to the first design. The difference is more than 50% at fly speed M=0,8.

Volumetric losses
Feldová, Petra ; Sluše, Jan (referee) ; Klas, Roman (advisor)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate the flow of sealing gaps and assess the impact of the expansion chambers of various shapes , placing them in order to reduce volumetric losses . The first section summarizes theoretical knowledge of pumps, which suffer the most from these losses. There are also described the analytic solutions of flow in the cracks and possible use of simulation programs, such as Fluent, for investigation of more difficult tasks. The computational part compares analytically determined values of the volume flow for smooth gap, with the values obtained from the program Fluent. Thanks to the values from this program is also possible to assess the effect of rotation on the flows. Analytical relationships do not include this impact . For easier comparison the flow in the expansion chambers are further drawn contours of the static pressure, velocity vectors and pathlines in their cross-section.
