Design of a micro waterpower turbines for low head and low dicharge
Macek, Libor ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This diploma thesis discusses the issue of finding type of water turbine for very low heads and low discharges, which could be operated as mobile micro hydropower plant in island mode. Thesis deals with summary of appropriate choices of water turbine for needs of micro hydropower plant. Essential part of diploma thesis deals with design of optimized waterwheel. Waterwheel was chosen because commercial high-speed turbines have low efficiency for low heads. Waterwheel was manufactured and measured in laboratories of Fluid engineering. Measurement output was discharge and efficiency characteristic of turbine. The price calculation was made after manufacture.

Models of vehicle´s kinetic energy recovery
Fic, Miloslav ; Vaverka, Michal (referee) ; Nevrlý, Josef (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with analysis of existing knowledge in the area of vehicle kinetic energy recuperation models. This analysis is mainly focused on hydrostatic regenerative braking system models. This paper introduces stances of some authors, mathematic relationships and program tools useful for simulation of these models. Afterwards is estimation of shown studies and at least is presented future development of hydrostatic regenerative braking systems. This paper gives a sight of hydraulic recuperation system problems and it could be used as the theoretical element for next research in recuperation models area.

Automatic Irrigation Systems
Vrbka, Tomáš ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Kárník, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the possibilities of using automatic irrigation systems. The goal of this thesis is to create a design solution for specified parameters of the football pitch. The parameters include dimensions of the pitch and the parameters of already placed pump. In addition to the design solution the thesis includes theoretical part which deals with the description, design and installation of an automatic irrigation system and its components in addition to design solution. The thesis also includes the calculation of pressure losses of the irrigation system and a price estimate for the designed components of the irrigation system.

Kohonen network
Fic, Miloslav ; Hynčica, Tomáš (referee) ; Jirsík, Václav (advisor)
This Bachelor’s thesis deals with self-organizing networks and its learning mechanism. The activation, adaptation and application of Kohonen network are discussed in this thesis. The program Kohonen neural network is described. The practical part of this work analyzes effect of learning parameters choice on final state of Kohonen network and how do this learning parameters affect learning process. The effect of weight vector initialization on the final best-matching neuron “position” is analyzed.

Boundary Vorticity Element Method for 2D Fluid Flow
Fic, Miloslav ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Štigler, Jaroslav (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with boundary vorticity element method for 2D fluid flow. The aim of this work is to program this method with continuous vorticity lay-out and to validate method with various boundary conditions. The computed results are presented in this work. Advantages and disadvantages of each one boundary condition are pointed out. New one boundary condition for boundary vorticity element method is applied in this thesis.

Technology of Trenchless Rehabilitation of Pipelines
Pleva, Ondřej ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Kárník, Jan (advisor)
Contend of bachelor thesis is aimed on trenchless methods of rehabilitation underground pipe networks. It includes several repairs, renovations and replacements without need of open cut. At its beginning, thesis is focused on classification of different types of pipe defects, their localization and cleaning methods. Mentioned activities are in most cases essential part of pipe rehabilitation. Main part of thesis is dedicated to detail description of individual rehabilitation methods. At the end the aim of the thesis moves toward assessment and cooperation of trenchless methods in relation one to another and also in relation to open cut.

Nanofluids
Cabúk, Matej ; Kárník, Jan (referee) ; Fic, Miloslav (advisor)
Nanomaterials are phenomena of present time in science and technology. Nanofluids are fluids with original characteristics. In this thesis are presented production methods and effect of nanoparticles onto basic thermophysical properties. Applications of nanofluids are attractive. It is used mainly in heat transfer systems, but can be used in wide area. It can increase the performance a efficiency, save energy and money but also rescue human lives.

Fractal geometry application for orifice plate design
Hochman, Ondřej ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
Bachelor thesis consists of three parts. The first part is focused on research study of cav-itation and fractal geometry. It is concerned with the physical principle of cavitation, its generation, dynamics and implosion of cavitation bubbles. It also turns attention to useful application. Brief explanation of fractal geometry follows, including some famous examples. Two fractal shaped orifices were designed in the second experimental part, having the same cross-section as orifice with ordinary circle hole. These orifices were compared to each other from perspective of hydraulic losses.

Transition of cavitating flow to supercavitation
Chovanec, Radomír ; Fic, Miloslav (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
Bachelor thesis consists of two parts. The first part is dedicated to research. It deals with clarifying the basic concepts of cavitation and current knowledge in the field of supercavitation. The second, experimental part is devoted to flow in Venturi nozzle in the transition from developed cavitation to supercavitation. The aim was to examine the hysteresis that occurs with a change of transition direction. To clarify the phenomenon were compared static and dynamic characteristics acquired from the measurement and visualization on the hydraulic circuit with cavitation jet.
