This book is focused on combining the concepts of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and renewable energy technologies. Besides introducing the fundamentals, the core of this book contains a series of practical examples providing useful information about the methods and smart solutions for CFD modeling of selected Renewable Energy Sources (RES) - based technologies. Each chapter includes a theoretical introduction to the discussed topic, descriptions of factors determining efficiency and other important parameters, followed by practical information concerning the CFD modeling methodology. A summary of the relevant recommendations and exemplary results with comments is also included.
Features:
provides practical examples on the application of numerical methods in the analysis of renewable energy processes
includes an introduction to CFD for practitioners
explores selected aspects of the methodology used in CFD simulations of renewable energy technologies
discusses tips and hints for efficient use of CFD codes functionalities
contains additional exercise devoted to the geothermal systems
This book is aimed at professionals and graduate students in energy engineering, renewable energy, CFD, energy systems, fluid mechanics and applied mathematics.
Mateusz Szubel (PhD, Eng.), assistant professor at the AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Energy and Fuels, Krakow, Poland. Professor Szubel is a member of the research group focused on the issues of renewable energy technologies, at the Department of Sustainable Energy Development. He is a research specialist on the conditions for the sustainable energy development. Furthermore, he is involved in the investigation of the possibilities of involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the optimization of renewable energy technologies and increasing the energy efficiency of energy systems. He is focused on numerical modeling of energy storage and biomass thermochemical treatment. For 12 years professor Szubel has been running over 20 academic courses related to the practical aspects of renewable energy technologies’ applications and the use of commercial CFD codes to analyze the elements of these systems. He is author and coauthor of 120 scientific and popular science papers. Mariusz Filipowicz (DSc, Eng.), associate professor at the AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Energy and Fuels, and former head of the Department of Sustainable Energy Development, Krakow, Poland. Professor Filipowicz graduated with an MSc in Technical Physics in 1991, obtained a PhD in 1998, and did habilitation in 2010 in the field of nuclear physics–nuclear fusion catalyzed by negative muons. Between 1994–1995, he completed a postgraduate course in Energy and Environment, the Tempus-Joint European Project (JEP) Postgraduate Course on Energy and Environment. Professor Filipowicz’s main research areas are related to renewable energy technologies (mainly biomass, solar, and wind energy applications), energy efficiency, and nuclear physics (nuclear fusion reactions in the range of ultra-low energy). He is author and coauthor of more than 250 scientific papers and leader of scientific projects at AGH, such as, "BioEcoMatic: Construction of small-to-medium capacity boilers for clean and efficient combustion of biomass for heating" and "BioORC: Construction of cogeneration system with small to medium size biomass boilers" with the support of KIC InnoEnergy.
