Estudio paramétrico del conjunto tractor-trailer mediante aplicación de mecánica de fluidos computacional

La mejora del comportamiento aerodinámico de vehículos pesados en la carretera ha adquirido una mayor importancia estos últimos años debido a la crisis y su consecuente aumento del precio de los combustibles. Dado que una reducción en la resistencia aerodinámica del vehículo conlleva un menor empleo de combustible, el objetivo de este proyecto es realizar un estudio paramétrico del conjunto tractor-tráiler mediante la mecánica de fluidos computacional (CFD) para así obtener la geometría que proporciona un menor gasto de combustible cuando ésta es expuesta a viento frontal. La influencia de 3 parámetros, que son la separación existente entre cabina y remolque, la altura del remolque y el radio de curvatura de las aristas frontales de la cabina, es analizada en este estudio dividido en varias etapas que implican el uso de programas específicos como son: la parametrización y creación de las geometrías en 3D que es llevada a cabo mediante CATIA, el mallado del dominio (realizado con Gambit) y resolución de las ecuaciones mediante FLUENT. Finalmente se obtendrá una relación entre la resistencia aerodinámica (representada mediante el coeficiente de arrastre) y la combinación de los 3 parámetros, que nos permitirá decidir que geometría es la óptima. Abstract The improvement of the heavy vehicle’s aerodynamic behavior on the road has gained a great importance for these last years because of the economic crisis and the consequent increase of the price of the fuels. Due to the fact that a reduction in the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle involves using a smaller amount of fuel, the objective of this project is to carry out a parametric study about the ensemble tractor-trailer by computational fluid dynamics methods (CFD) in order to obtain the geometry which expense of fuel is the lowest when it’s exposed to frontal wind. The influence of the three parameters, which are the space between cab and trailer, the height of the trailer and the curvature of the frontal cab edges, is analysed in this study which is divided into different parts involving specific programs: choosing the parameters and building the geometries, which is done by using CATIA, the mesh is built by Gambit, and the program equations-solver is FLUENT. Finally a ratio between aerodynamic resistance and a combination of the three parameters will be obtained and it will allow us to choose the best geometry.

Blurring the lines : how Japanese American internment camps re-defined art and religion's relationship

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor during WWII, anyone of Japanese descent living on the West Coast was placed in internment camps scattered throughout the country. Life inside the camps included many different activities to make life as normal as possible. This study will focus on two intersecting day-to-day activities in particular, the practice of religion within the camps, as well as the creation of art. Art created in the camps was influenced by multiple religious traditions. An analysis of artworks created by professional and amateur artists, interviews and an examination of existing scholarship demonstrates that internment camps created a unique environment for the creation of art. The values of internees reflected the seamless coexistence of Christianity, Buddhism and Shinto in internment camp art.
