Thesis title: Time filtered turbulence model OpenFOAM implementation and analysis for industrial RANS application -I have implemented, tested and validated with excellent results a new turbulence model for RANS applications in OpenFOAM. I have automated the post-process analysis using Linux environment and Paraview.

- Validated an internal OpenFOAM solver using plant data and CFD results. The solver takes into account fluid dynamics, energy, species transport, chemical reaction and flashing - Found several ways to improve the simulation accuracy by analyzing the code and running simulations with different boundary conditions and different turbulence models (k-epsilon, k-omega SST, realizable k-epsilon, Reynolds Stress Model) - Thanks to a careful study of the numerical schemes and the solvers characteristic factors, it was possible to find the best balance between accuracy, stability and computational costs - Meshing of complicated geometries using snappyHexMesh with excellent mesh quality results - Production of an exhaustive documentation of the model and the work done

- Better understanding of car cornering behavior by implementing and analyzing this configuration in OpenFoam and ParaView -Prepared and meshed parts of the car using Star-CCM+ to simulate them correctly

- Deep understanding of the velocity field in front of the radiator after flowing it in different configurations - Implemented the radiator and fan inside the sidepod using Star CCM+ - Improved engine cooling, using Star CCM+ simulations and Post-Pro analysis, of different Sidepod, radiator and fan configurations - Designed parts and 3D printing
