Kršík, Jakub ; Vejvoda,, Stanislav (referee) ; Kaplan,, Věroslav (referee) ; Křiváková, Jarmila (advisor)
The doctoral thesis describes the possibilities of numerical modelling of hollow core concrete panels, SPIROLL type. The commercial finite element program ANSYS 13.0 is used for the modelling. The focus is on the specific flexural support of the panel and on the distribution of the shear stresses in the panel ribs near the support. The goal is to valid actually used method for homogenization of the panel’s foreheads and its influence on the shear resistance by using four numerical models. The numerical models are compared and verified with two experiments. The first experiment is vacuum loading on the hollow core slab. Second experiment is about shear loading by applying the loading blocks. Four methods for design of hollow core panels are evaluated. It is the method based on main stresses, design according EN 1992 and EN 1168 and Yang’s method of prestress effects transfer. Based on the results, a method of considering flexural support for the evaluation of hollow core panels is proposed.

Burešová, Erika ; Sládek, Roman (referee) ; Kriška-Dunajský, Michal (advisor)
The thesis deals with the issue of simulation of treated wastewater irrigation by the HYDRUS 2D software. The first part of the thesis is designed as a literary research of academic information and knowledge. It aims at introducing the issue of treated wastewater utilization for the purpose of the irrigation with an emphasis on the Czech Republic. The following is an overview of important hydropedological characteristics of soils, the theoretical basis of numerical modeling of movement and transport of solutes in soil and the use of HYDRUS 2D software. The practical part is based on theoretical knowledge and demonstrates the creating process of mathematical model in program HYDRUS 2D, simulating the transport of input pollution in the soil profile. Wastewater used for irrigation was treated using a system of mechanical pretreatment and horizontal filters planted with macrophytes situated on a CW Drazovce. This work describes the calibration and subsequent application of calibrated models for monitored pollution parameters NH4+-N, P-PO4-3 and COD.

Maxwell-type viscoelasticity in small and large deformations of planetary mantles
Patočka, Vojtěch ; Čadek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Průša, Vít (referee) ; Tosi, Nicola (referee)
Title: Maxwell-type viscoelasticity in small and large deformations of planetary mantles Author: Mgr. RNDr. Vojtěch Patočka Department: Department of Geophysics Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Ondřej Čadek, CSc., Department of Geophysics Abstract: A present limitation of global-scale simulations of planetary interi- ors is that they assume a purely viscous or viscoplastic flow law for solid rock, i.e. elasticity is ignored. This is not a good assumption in the cold and strong outermost mantle layer known as the lithosphere, which seems to maintain its elastic properties even on time scales corresponding to the geological processes of subduction or sedimentation. Here we overcome such simplification and present a numerical tool for modelling visco-elasto-plastic mantle convection. The most promising new feature of the resulting models is related to the ability of vis- coelastic materials to remember deformation experienced in the past. Thus, the growing viscoelastic lithosphere of a cooling planet, when subject to internal or surface loading, can store information about its thickness at the time of loading. This phenomena is consistent with datasets of the effective elastic thicknesses determined in flexure studies and we label it here as the "stress memory effect". Attention is also paid to the theoretical foundations...

Breaking of Rod-shaped Model Material during Compression.
Kulaviak, Lukáš ; Pěnkavová, Věra ; Růžička, Marek ; Punčochář, Miroslav ; Zámostný, P. ; Grof, Z. ; Štěpánek, F. ; Schöngut, M. ; Havlica, Jaromír
The breakage of a model anisometric dry granular material caused by uniaxial compression was studied. The bed of uniform rod-like pasta particles (8 mm long, aspect ratio 1:8) was compressed (Gamlen Tablet Press) and their size distribution was measured after each run (Dynamic Image Analysing). The compression dynamics was recorded and the effect of several parameters was tested (rate of compression, volume of granular bed, pressure magnitude and mode of application). Besides the experiments, numerical modelling of the compressed breakable material was performed as well, employing the DEM approach (Discrete Element Method). The comparison between the data and the model looks promising.

Modelling dependence of chlorinated hydrocarbons biodegradation on changes of temperature and redox conditions in ATES sytems
Havlíková, Barbora ; Mls, Jiří (advisor) ; Datel, Josef (referee)
The Aquifer Thermal energy Storage (ATES) system is one of the most important techniques, that use the aquifer as an energy storage for heating and cooling the buildings. The operation of the ATES system is based on pumping the cold ground water into the buildings during the summer and then injecting the warmer water back into the aquifer. During the winter, the direction is reversed. Warm water is pumped to the buildings, where it serves for the heating system and then it is injected back into the aquifer. The ATES system has a main effect on the chemical composition of ground water, because of changes in the temperature of ground water, mixing of water from different redox zone and increasing of ground water flow in the neighbourhood of the wells of the ATES system. The modification in chemical composition and temperature could influence the behaviour of contaminants. If we want to install the ATES system into a contaminated aquifer, we have to know, if the ATES system would influence the behaviour of the contaminant plume positively or negatively. This study was made to increase the understanding of the dependence between changes of temperature and oxidation-reduction conditions in the ATES system and biodegradation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. In the first part, several scenarios were modelled...

Vortex tube
Chýlek, Radomír ; Škorpík, Jiří (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The purpose of this diploma thesis was to find optimal operational parameters of Ranque–Hilsch vortex tube that would give the best results of temperature separation, and to create a numerical model of the device. Firstly, extensive research of current literature was done and analytical model of the tube was created. Then, the numerical model of the vortex tube was designed using Star-CCM+ software. Afterward, best fitting turbulence model was chosen to do the calculation and optimal geometrical parameters of the tube were obtained as a result of CFD simulation. Then, inlet nozzles for the tube were designed and manufactured. Experimental evaluation of the vortex tube and description of its optimal settings form a substantial part of the project. Finally, the data obtained from the experiment were compared to the results of numerical analysis and conclusions were deduced.

Heat dissipation axially-cooled glassmaking
Hovorka, Martin ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee) ; Baláš, Marek (advisor)
The presented thesis deals with a numerical simulation of axially cooled glassmaking parison. Several types of cooling channels have been investigated according to its usage in glassmaking process. Software Star CCM+ was used to describe properties throughout the channels and also the parison itself. The main focus of this thesis lies in comparing of temperature fields, cooling effects and cooling intensity among the chosen channel designs. The boundary condi-tions were kept the same accordingly to glassmaking conditions for every design. Some out-puts were transferred to non-dimensional diagrams in order to recalculation pursuant to other boundary conditions. Properties of diffuser channel designs were compared to an experiment. Transient temperature field of the parison were calculated with Ansys APDL in order to de-termine the accumulation and stationary zone of the parison and to verify the boundary conditions for cooling channels.
