Quantification of hydrodynamic load on overflowed bridge deck using 2D numerical simulation
Pavlíček, Michal ; Hrdlička, Libor (referee) ; Špano, Miroslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on a quantification of hydrodynamic load of overflowed bridge deck. Solution was pursued by using two–dimensional numerical simulation of open channel flow in vertical plane created in ANSYS 15.0 software (modules: Workbench, Design Modeler, Meshing, Fluent). Values of drag force, lift force, moment, drag coefficient, lift coefficient and moment coefficient is result of computation. Various types of bridge decks were tested in relation to the degree of inundation (inundation ratio) and flow velocity.The thesis provides comparison of numerical simulation with physical experimental testing and result published in accessible resources.

Assessment of ventilated floors construction
Jurka, Jiří ; Kmínová,, Hana (referee) ; Šilarová,, Šárka (referee) ; Šťastník, Stanislav (referee) ; Škramlik, Jan (advisor)
Air insulation, especially its efficiency, is often underestimated and most often it is recommended as combination of several methods by our experts. It is known that flowing air used to eliminate excessive humidity in lower construction is insignificantly promoted. Already our ancestors in ancient Rome had experience with implementation of air insulations. However, nowadays such design is connected with many doubts and it forces us to use sense, especially knowledge of construction physics. So it urges higher technical precision when designing functional ventilation system. Each building is actually a unique object, with regard to its position and used properties, that is why certain natural conditions must be accepted when designing. It is more complicated and figuratively speaking it can be written in c. 20 equations of twenty unknowns. Other problems arise in unknown coefficients to individual parameters and their effects. From another point of view it is the issue of changing air during the day, passing fronts, annual cycles and all of these in relation to internal environment of the building, materials used in the construction, land properties of rocks, and last but not least, relation to the terrain around the building. Then there are the effects of the building's altitudes etc. In total they are cycles with sine character of dampening and drying. The thesis discusses how to test the functionality of AIR insulations designed for the floor ventilation in historic buildings and follows on from the previously published articles. A flow analysis is being performed on an object of the city of Žirovnice which has been registered in the list of cultural monuments and was built as a brewery in the years 1589-1592 on the site of an older medieval building. This article brings new air-flow element. The aim of the article is to analyse in detail the air flow in a specific floor void with the aid of modern CFD programs and experimental measurements using the ALMEMO

Computational analysis of fluid flow in a tumble dryer
Dohnal, Miloslav ; Juřena, Tomáš (referee) ; Hájek, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this work is to create a computational model of radial industrial tumble dryers, to calculate and identify the amount of air that flows through the inside of the drum itself. The calculation will be performed via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Furthermore, compile transient balance model of mentioned dryers. Perform simulation balance model and compare the results of simulations with experimental measurements. By comparing the experimental data and simulation to determine the degrees of freedom of balance model and evaluate their impact on the assembled transient model. For a better understanding of the drying process, there is constructed a system of differential equations describing heat and moisture within the material being dried on a simple model. In the section devoted to the computational analysis of fluid flow is analyzed existing geometry of the drum, which has a major impact on the flow of air inside the drum itself. Following describes how to simplify its complex geometry entering the computational fluid dynamics. Then, there is carried out a simulation of fluid flow inside the tumble dryers using MRF and Sliding Mesh models. Finally, there is an analysis of the data obtained and determined the average amount of air flowing through the drum itself. On the contrary, the aim of the work is not to create another text tool for students engaged in CFD theme.

Flídr, Karel ; Vyroubal, Petr (referee) ; Maxa, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is concerned with the design of the shape of suction canals used for pumping in the scintillation detector. The goal is to perform analysis of the model of the detector according to the current conception and then perform an optimalisation of the suction canals as per demands to their function. In the beginning of the thesis the history of the microscope and electron microscopy is described. The next chapter is focused on a more detailed description of ESEM. The following charter is dedicated to describing the scintillation detector.The thesis recounts the kinds of liquid flow. In conclusion the programs SolidWorks and Ansys Fleunt are described. Next part of this thesis describes in detail parameters‘ settings of simulation calculation. Following chapter introduces designed changes of suction channels shape and its results are shown and described.

Hřešil, Tomáš ; Vyroubal, Petr (referee) ; Maxa, Jiří (advisor)
This project solves the problem of cooling the photovoltaic cell. Solar cell was modeled according to a real model in SolidWorks, and subsequently created the model was simulated in SolidWorks Flow Simulation and Ansys Fluent. The use of both systems allow a comparison of their possibilities in the field of heat transfer and their suitability for the case. The conclusion summarizes the first results and outline further developments cooling design to optimize the performance of the solar cell.

Design optimization of water-cooled thermocouple probe
Dohnal, Miloslav ; Vondál, Jiří (referee) ; Hájek, Jiří (advisor)
The object of this bachelor’s thesis is to create a computational model of an existing (basic) structure water-cooled thermocouple probe, to calculate and evaluate the quality of existing cooling probe and to propose possible design modifications to improve the cooling effect of the probe tip. Verify and evaluate design modifications by further calculation. The calculation will be carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD method). On the contrary, the aim of this work is not to create another text tool for students dealing with CFD topics. The first part describes the meaning and history of the CFD methods, then mentions the work on the principle of thermocouple probes and its application in practice. The second part of the work is devoted to problem solving. It describes the reason for the introduction of model situations when calculating the cooling effect of thermocouple probes and calculation indicates what type of flow occurs inside the thermocouple probe. It further describes the results of calculations for several approximations gradually increasing accuracy of the resulting solution of the problem and assessing the quality of cooling in the probe tip current (basic) structure. The final part deals with design changes for better cooling effect especially in the probe tip, which is verified by further calculation as well.
