M.Phil. / The aim of this research is to study the underhood airflow thermal behaviour of the extra low profile (XLP) dozer due to the excessive heat dissipated and observed during testing sessions executed at ground level, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The motivation of this project is to identify the reasons of poor cooling performance of this equipment, to develop and to demonstrate the capabilities of CFD in thermal research by validating the CFD result with experiments using a scaled model, prior to analyzing the full-scale dozer ...
