Hintergrund:Das Thermomanagementsystem hat im Fahrzeug eine zentrale Bedeutung, da es sowohl für die Klimatisierung der Fahrgastzelle als auch für die Kühlung der Antriebskomponenten verantwortlich ist. Im hierfür eingesetzten Kältekreislauf stellt der Kältemittelverdichter eine wesentliche Quelle ...

Hintergrund:Mit der zunehmenden Elektrifizierung des Fahrzeugantriebs gewinnt das Thermomanagementsystem eine zentrale Bedeutung, da es nicht nur für die Klimatisierung der Fahrgastzelle, sondern auch für die Kühlung von Batterie und Elektromotor verantwortlich ist. Der darin enthaltene Kältekreis...

Background: The proposed master thesis aims to advance a practical implementation of anisotropic grid-adaptation methodologies in widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes such as OpenFOAM and SIEMENS STAR-CCM+. Building upon the foundational work presented in , which introduces a direct...

Microencapsulation has profound applications towards cosmetics research and product development. Despite numerous applications targeting a wide array of cosmetics products, and high necessity, this technology has not yet been successfully established towards lipstick applications, attributing to sev...

DNA is the blueprint of life! In addition to their biochemical properties, their physical characteristics under large-scale mechanical deformations must be studied, attributing to a wide range of industrial applications. Are you strongly motivated to contribute to the world of pioneering DNA rheolog...

The flow-induced onset of particle motion at rough surfaces and granular beds is important for many natural processes and industrial applications like erosion and sedimentation, the formation of dunes, the cleaning of surfaces, filtration, the transportation of fluids in pipes or the assembling of m...

Background: High fidelity simulations of turbulence often involve long integration times and lengthy simulations. Given the (inverse) proportionality of the computational cost with time step size, one method to reduce the overall cost is through increasing the time step size, thus requiring fewer ti...

Background: The Institute of Fluid Mechanics is involved in an European project called CEEC (https://ceec-coe.eu/).  CEEC’s ambition is to enable the use of exascale computers for key computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications and demonstrate their capabilities through key light-house cases. ...
