Flow visualization methods
Ďurdina, Lukáš ; Jedelský, Jan (referee) ; Lízal, František (advisor)
ĎURDINA, L. Flow visualization methods. Brno: Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, 2010. 45 p. Thesis supervisor Ing. František Lízal. This thesis deals with fluid flow visualization methods with respect to their practical application possibilities. Chronological description of the historically valuable visualization experiments emphasises the role of visualization in the experimental fluid mechanics. A brief characteristic of the flow field contains mathematical description of the objects, which can be visualized. Visualization methods are divided into experimental and computer aided methods. Individual methods are ordered subsequently beginning with those with lowest requirements for equipment to the more sophisticated methods. Various techniques, which provide qualitative and quantitative description of the tested gas or liquid flow, are described. The overview for the choice of methods for various applications sums up the important facts from previous chapters. Description of a simple helium bubble flow visualization experiment realized in a lab can be found at the end of the thesis.

Interesting cases of fluid mechanics
Čáp, Filip ; Hájek, Ondřej (referee) ; Jedelský, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the description of some interesting phenomena in the field of fluid mechanics, methods of flow visualization and its recording using a high-speed camera. First, a number of terms and different types of fluid flow are briefly introduced, which is followed by the description of the methods of visualization that enhance the visibility of flow of liquids and gases. The thesis also describes high-speed cameras and examines some interesting effects in fluid dynamics which can be encountered in everyday life as well as in engineering practice. The last chapter is then dedicated to the conducted experiments and their recordings.

Design of the hydraulic circuit of the ASC 110 vibratory roller drive
Novák, Martin ; Rada, Zdeněk (referee) ; Rada, Zdeněk (referee) ; Klas, Roman (advisor)
This thesis presents a proposal of newly designed concept for travel hydraulic circuit of vibratory single drum roller ASC 110. The maximum machine gradeability was chosen as the main parameter for hydraulic circuit proposal. After selecting the new hydraulic travel concept, suitable hydraulic components have been selected. Length and local losses for two different machine speeds were calculated for sufficient hydraulic circuit design. Hydraulic losses have also been calculated for use in different climatic conditions. A new machine cooling concept has also been proposed. Heating and cooling curves of hydraulic circuit were calculated. For the purpose of comparing gradeability and energy balance of the newly designed travel concept compared to the existing one currently in mass production, both machines were fitted with measuring points. On both machines were measured for example, pressure, flow and temperature in each hydraulic circuit branch and others. From the time dependencies of the above-mentioned parameters it was possible to determine the energy efficiency of the newly designed concept. To assess the maximum gradeability, the slope of the hill was measured. Comparing the two machines, it has been found that the two hydraulic circuit solution has significantly improved traction properties in demanding machine applications, especially when driving uphill and downhill. This concept also affects less fuel consumption and places less demand on the hydraulic oil cooler due to its energy efficiency.

Segner wheel
Jahn, Jan ; Hudec, Martin (referee) ; Fic, Miloslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on description of water turbine called the Segner wheel, which is considered as a precursor of modern water turbines. Segner’s contribution is to demonstrate an opportunity of dynamic force exerted by fluid jet. There is some historical information about his life and additional adaptations of the original invention. Wheel function analysis is based on laws of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. The Segner wheel model is a part of this thesis. Last chapter discuses applications of the Segner wheel up to the present day.

Simple Rheoscopic Flows Used in Teaching Fluid Mechanics
Duda, D. ; Yanovych, Vitalii ; Uruba, Václav
Four simple demonstration experiments are presented. They are used as a support in the teaching of Fluid Mechanics I (a compulsory lecture at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen). All mentioned experiments use the rheoscopic fluid obtained as a water solution of mica powder to visualize the flow in a esthetic way, which, as we hope, has a potential to attract students attention. The experiments are: demonstration of Bernoulli equation in a widening and narrowing channel, Taylor-Couette flow, the effect of viscosity to the scales and decay of turbulence, and the Galilean transformation inside an axial compressor.
