Modification of Navier_Stokes equations asuming the quasi-potential flow
Navrátil, Dušan ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with Navier-Stokes equations in curvilinear coordinates and their solution for quasi-potential flow. The emphasis is on detailed description of curvilinear space and its expression using Bézier curves, Bézier surfaces and Bézier bodies. Further, fundamental concepts of hydromechanics are defined, including potential and quasi-potential flow. Cauchy equations are derived as a result of the law of momentum conservation and continuity equation is derived as a result of principle of mass conservation. Navier-Stokes equations are then derived as a special case of Cauchy equations using Cauchy stress tensor of Newtonian compressible fluid. Further transformation into curvilinear coordinates is accomplished through differential operators in curvilinear coordinates and by using curvature vector of space curve. In the last section we use results from previous chapters to solve boundary value problem of quasi-potential flow, which was solved by finite difference method using Matlab environment.

Destratification of Reservoirs
Sluše, Jan ; Kozubková, Milada (referee) ; Šulc, Jan (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
This doctoral thesis is focused on design of new equipment for aeration of water surface with low depth of water column. Aeration is one of ecological preventive methods to prevent growth of cyanobacteria. Increase of dissolved oxygen content in water mass leads to support of the growth of organisms which are disadvantaged by impossibility of movement in water mass and thus also to support biodiversity. Given biodiversity has a positive effect on water quality because it avoids the outbreak of one species of aquatic organism, in particular of cyanobacteria. Designed aeration equipment uses membrane formed by hollow fibre to transport oxygen into the water. When aeration dissolution of oxygen occurs directly on the membrane surface which prevents air leak in the form of bubbles. This type of aeration has low operating costs and high efficiency of input of the oxygen into the water. Distribution in the aquatic environment is ensured by special boat. This boat is moving on the water surface and the technology is installed on the upper deck. The aeration is carried out by an aeration module situated in the water. The movement of the boat is partially ensured by autonomous control.

Pírková, Marcela ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
This thesis is a research character focused on the analysis of mechanical properties of cell membranes. The main aim is to find methods that will break the structure of the membranes. In addition, the thesis deals with the microorganisms living in the reservoirs of the Czech Republic, the existing methods of water purification and the specific properties of microorganisms membranes. In the experimental part there is an attempt of hydrodynamic cavitation, the whole process is tested on biomass of cyanobacteria.

Computational Analysis Of Dynamic Behaviour Of Journal Bearings
Rak, Vladimír ; Kamenický, Ján (referee) ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Zapoměl, Jaroslav (referee) ; Malenovský, Eduard (advisor)
This work deals with computational modelling of static and dynamic analyses of journal bearings, with analyses of stability of oil-film motion and analyses of response of the rotor assemblies. At our workplace a new theoretical approach to the modelling of the static and dynamic behaviour of the rigid rotating body in liquid is used. The approach is based on the application of the Navier-Stokes motion eq., equation of continuity and boundary conditions eqs. It is possible to separate the motion of the rigid body and liquid from each other using suitable transformation relations and then it is also possible to separate the stationary and nonstationary motions from each other. A method of control volumes is used for these analyses. The real Bézier body is used for the description of the geometrical configuration and also for the approximation of velocity and pressure functions. Combined the ALE (Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler) method is used, because it´s necessary to generate a new net (to perform new meshing) for a change of the shaft position. The additional effects of the liquid (additional mass, stiffness and damping), which we solved in dynamic analysis, are the function of the single parameter only – the shaft-centre position. There is a large advantage in comparison with the standard approach, which is based on application of the Reynolds liquid eq. Author solving the models of the long and short journal bearing with different geometry, especially the elliptical and cylindrical bearings, with incompressible and compressible journal bearing liquid. If the journal bearing problem is solved, it is possible to include the additional effect of the liquid to the right side of the motion equation of a model rotor assembly. Author analyze a model rotor assemblies with two degrees of freedom, which is supported inside of the two journal bearings on the ends of the rotor (Jeffcott rotor assembly). Author modelling and solveing a response of the model rotor assembly on the forced steady-state vibrations, which was actuating by the unbalanced matter.

Flow through the artifitial heart valve
Šedivý, Dominik ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
The presented thesis solves a flow through the artificial heart valves. The thesis concerns with a historic development of mechanical heart valves and their basic parameters. It also includes a short research about Dynamic mesh module, which is contained within ANSYS Fluent. An experiment with a real mechanical heart valve was done within the diploma thesis and obtained data were compared with physiological ones. One part of this work was a design of 3D model of real heart valve replacement. The model was used for fluid dynamic computations using the Dynamic mesh of ANSYS Fluent software. In the end are the results of experimental part and numerical solutions used for few suggestions that could improve the function of the artificial heart valve.

Damping of Pressure Pulsations in Elastic Pipes
Panko, Martin ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with numerical simulation of pressure pulsations in elastic pipes. Continuity relation of fluid in elastic pipes, when calculating some damping in pipe material, is derived into practice. Rheological model of such a pipe corresponds to Voigt (Kelvin) model. For analysing dynamic effects in time periods are used numerical methods that deal with flow of compressible fluid: FTCS, Lax-Friedrichs and Lax-Wendroff method. The numerical results are confronted with the experiment. During the experiment simulation the method considers speed of sound in liquid like a function of pressure. This diploma thesis lays partial principles for finding elastic constants for describing dynamic characteristics of elastic pipes by measuring the pressure pulsations.

Study of the flow at the interface of immiscible liquids
Lunda, Filip ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Fialová, Simona (advisor)
This theses deals with flow of two immisible fluid in horizontal pipeline. First part teoretically describes immisible flow. What follows is experimental measurement in wich experimental track was adjusted for inlet of oil from the top. Water and corn germ oil were used as fluids. There were observed many modes of flow on the track. After that PIV was described and measured. PIV was done for measurement of values of velocity vectors. Simulation of one chosen mode was developed in the last chapter. This simulation was done in Ansys Fluent with help of VOF method. Simulation was done both in 3D and 2D pipeline. In the end these simulation were compared with experiment measurement and were critically evaluated.

Dancing liquid - vibration eigenmode shapes of liquids
Urban, Ondřej ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with phenomena connected with vertically oscillating liquid layer, particularly with Faraday waves and liquid atomization. More in detail it deals with the linear mathematical model for vertically oscilating inviscid and incompresible liquids by Benjamin & Ursell (1954). It also presents the appearance of these and other phenomena connected with liquid vibration in practical applications. Furthermore, results of experiments are presented. Their aim was to find some eigenmode shapes using the linear model and also to document some of their properties. Final part is aimed to the design of an experimental device for visualization of vibration eigenmode shapes of liquids.
