The storage water plants problem appreciation
Archalous, Jakub ; Himr, Daniel (referee) ; Sloupenský, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the use of hydropower. It gives an overview of hydroelectric plants and describes mechanisms that convert water energy into electric energy. The most attention is paid to the principle and operation of pumped storage power plants and the machinery used there. Also the efficiency of the pumping cycle at Dlouhe Strane power plant is calculated.

Condition Simulation in Vehicle Aerodynamics Computation
Čavoj, Ondřej ; Sloupenský, Zdeněk (referee) ; Popela, Robert (referee) ; Píštěk, Václav (advisor)
Several types of discrepancies have been examined between CFD simulations, wind tunnel measurements and real world conditions. The results of different wheel rotation methods show that while stationary approaches can often substitute real unsteady wheel rotation, they can also be very sensitive to the exact angular positioning of wheel rims. Using both measured and computed flow fields, the lower part of wheel wake was identified as a key area, showing differences between rotation methods and sources of simulation errors in general. It was also shown that the level of detail in tyre geometry and its deformation near contact patch do not have a large impact on accuracy. Due to the absence of tyre rotation, the tyre sidewall was identified as an important place of flow separation with large effect on flow field and forces. Angle of attack study confirmed that assessing purely straight-line drag causes its under prediction compared to real-world values. This judgement would however benefit from obtaining data in more adverse conditions compared to those currently available. Finally, tyre radial expansion was investigated, causing a drop in drag with increasing vehicle velocity and altering the flow around the rear bodywork. Ignoring this effect can therefore negatively influence the aerodynamic development of a vehicle.

Water turbines and them use
Machát, Pavel ; Sloupenský, Zdeněk (referee) ; Himr, Daniel (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the problems of water turbines. It contains basic division of water turbines, description of their oparations and possibilities of their utilizations. Further this thesis focuses on description of the three most used turbines i.e. Francis´s, Kaplan´s and Pelton´s turbines. As one component of this work there are also mentioned essential relations required for selection of proper type of turbine in dependency on speed, slope and flow rate.

Design of Centrifugal Pump Using Differential Geometry Methods
Sloupenský, Zdeněk ; Varchola, Michal (referee) ; Melichar, Jan (referee) ; Drábková, Sylva (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
This thesis deals with a new approach to the design of impeller, blade and spiral of centrifugal pump. The mathematic model of flow inside meridional section of impeller and spiral is based on the instruments of differential geometry applied to Bezier surfaces. This formerly introduced theory is more deeply developed in this thesis and the conclusions are applied to the design of centrifugal pump parts working with fluid. The main thesis output is the mathematic model and on its principles created software determined for the design of impeller, blade and spiral. The received results are exportable into one of the commonly used 3D modeling programs.
