Methods for determining aerodynamic properties of vehicles
Páleš, Patrik ; Blaťák, Ondřej (referee) ; Čavoj, Ondřej (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor’s thesis is a description of methods being used for measurements of aerodynamic characteristics of automobiles. The exact determination of the aerodynamic characteristics requires sophisticated testing equipment and advanced engineering procedures. The research comprises several approaches. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is based on turbulent models application such as RANS, LES and DNS. Pressure distribution on a vehicular body surface and an air flow along the vehicle are monitored in wind tunnels. Flow visualization is carried out by optical (PIV, LDA) and non-optical methods. Experimental road testing methods are focused on multiple parameters including a vehicle directional stability, its cross-wind sensitivity, engine cooling system and many others.

Comparison of panel codes for aerodynamic analysis of airfoils
Bilčík, Adam ; Schoř, Pavel (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
Cieľom tejto práce bolo vytvorenie prehľadu v súčasnosti používaných implementácií panelových metód pre aerodynamické výpočty charakteristík 2D profilov. Základný popis princípu panelovej metódy, porovnanie jednotlivých implementácií a zhodnotenie ich možností (presnosť, aplikovateľnosť) na typické úlohy. V práci boli použité tri rôzne panelové programy: Xfoil, JavaFoil a XFLR5. Práca bola obohatená o meranie v aerodynamickom tuneli.

Formula Student Cooling System
Šebela, Kamil ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Janoušek, Michal (advisor)
The thesis deals with Formula Student cooling system. The thesis is divided to three main parts, the first part deal about description of current cooling system and lubricating system. The second part of thesis deals with measuring individual component of system at measuring stand, wind tunnel and measuring at vehicle. The last part of thesis deal about evaluation of measurement and construction changes for improving parameters of the cooling system.

Creation of educational experiment for Aerodynamics I course
Fenech, Daniel ; Navrátil, Jan (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
Cílem bakalářské práce je vytvořit semestrální projekt pro studenty kurzu Aerodynamika I, který dále využijí pro lepší porozumění a získání zkušeností, jak lze určit aerodynamické charakteristiky pomocí výpočtů a pomocí aerodynamického tunelu. Nejdůležitějšími kroky je získání geometrie modelu pomocí 3-D skenování a manipulace se skenovanou položkou tak, aby bylo dosaženo požadovaných geometrií, pomocí XFOIL získání 2-D aerodynamických charakteristik aerofoilů, pomocí Glauert III vedle základních výpočtů získání aerodynamických koeficientů rozložených podél celého povrchu a řešení pro celkové síly působící na model. Závěrem je provedena zkouška modelu aerodynamického tunelu pro ověření výpočetní části.

Urban Ventilation Dependence on Geometric Configuration
Kukačka, Libor ; Jaňour, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Carpentieri, Matteo (referee) ; Uruba, Václav (referee)
Title: Urban Ventilation Dependence on Geometric Configuration Author: RNDr. Ing. Libor Kukačka Department: Department of Atmospheric Physics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Zbyněk Jaňour, DrSc., Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Thermomechanics, v. v. i. Abstract: The main goal of the thesis is to investigate the impact of urban geometry on the urban ventilation using wind-tunnel modelling. To measure the pollutant transport, both advective and turbulent, within complex urban geometries with a high temporal resolution a special measurement method was developed. At first, the pollution of a simplified urban area was simulated by a ground-level point source and the ventilation of the intersection with respect to four wind directions was studied. Later, the pollution of other simplified and complex urban areas was simulated by a ground-level line source and the ventilation of three different street canyons with respect to wind direction perpendicular and oblique to their along-canyon axis was investigated. The clear impact of urban complexity and wind direction on street canyon ventilation is demonstrated at lateral and top openings of all investigated canyons and the intersection. Whilst the dominance of the pollutant advection is demonstrated at the eaves of pitched roofs, at the roof ridges...

Wind tunnel experiment of scaled car model preparation
Zedník, Roman ; Doupník, Petr (referee) ; Matějů, Jiří (advisor)
This master thesis focuses on designing of an external six-component balance. This universal concept would provide access of results from different models of wings, aircraft and automobiles with relatively small scales. This work also includes theoretical background needed in aerodynamic testing, analysis of 1D beam element model of scale and explanation of components used in scale. Lastly methods of calibration and measurement in aerodynamic tunnel are described, which can be adopted for this design to achieve the adequate level of accuracy.
