Aufbau eines Frameworks zur Berechnung der Eigenschaften beliebiger Kombinationen aus durchströmten radialen und axialen Ringspalten
Development of a framework for the calculation of the characteristics of arbitrary combinations of radial and axial annular gaps
2025/07/18
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
The dynamic behaviour of modern turbomachinery, such as those used in fuel pumps in the aerospace industry (for example in the Ariane 6 launch vehicle), is largely determined by the dynamic properties of combined axial and radial annular gaps. To date, however, such combined gaps have only been designed separately. For this reason, a framework is to be created at the FST on the basis of various preliminary works, which combines the existing tools at the institute for the calculation of purely axial and purely radial annular gaps into a single calculation tool for the investigation of any combined annular gaps.

Investigation of annular gaps, operated in the transition regime between laminar and turbulent flow using DNS Simulations
Untersuchung von Ringspalten, betrieben im Übergangsbereich zwischen laminarer und turbulenter Strömung, mittels DNS-Simulationen
2025/07/18
Masterthesis
The dynamic behaviour of modern turbomachinery, such as fuel pumps used in the aerospace industry (e.g. in the Ariane 6 launch vehicle), is largely determined by the dynamic properties of annular gaps. The flow within these gaps is either laminar, transient or turbulent. While the characteristics of these gaps in the asymptotic cases (i.e. purely laminar or purely turbulent flow) are well understood, recent experimental studies reveal a severe lack of understanding of their characteristics within the transition regime. As detection of the flow regime during experiments relies solely on integral values, modern numerical methods such as DNS simulations must be employed to further investigate the observed phenomena, e.g. the decrease in fluid film stiffness.

Inbetriebnahme und Kalibrierung des Slip Length Tribometers (SLT) zur Untersuchung des Einflusses der Oberflächenrauheit auf den Wandgleiten
Commissioning and calibration of the slip length tribometer (SLT) to investigate the influence of surface roughness on wall slip
2025/07/18
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)
The aim of the student project is to calibrate the slip length tribometer for measuring slip lengths on surfaces with varying roughness. The student will become familiar with the SLT system, including its operation and measurement procedures. The core tasks include setting up the calibration device, developing and implementing a calibration routine (e.g., using LabView), and performing slip length measurements with upper plates of three different surface roughness levels.

Microfluidics for Nuclear Fusion
Experiments for a Sustainable Future
2025/07/17
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
In light of the ongoing climate and energy crisis, sustainable power generation is urgently needed. Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a promising alternative that uses lasers to ignite small, fuel-filled targets, triggering a fusion reaction. This all-weather technology produces no long-lived radioactive waste and poses fewer safety risks than nuclear fission. In 2022, ICF demonstrated its first net energy gain. However, there is still a long way to go before it can be commercialized.
Currently, diamond targets are used that are time- and cost- intensive while having a high rejection rate and a limited batch size. In contrast,microfluidic chips hold great promise for producing economical fusion targets. Together with the startup Focused Energy, we research on making microfluidically produced targets competitive and ensure they meet required standards.

Dynamics of Fibre-laden Drops
Experiments where solid and fluid mechanics meet
2025/07/17
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
Who hasn’t noticed strands of hair clumping together after a shower? The cause is a phenomenon called elastocapillarity. Surface tension from water drops exerts forces that deform flexible materials like fibers. Thus, hydrophilic fibers can get coiled inside droplets, a behavior also seen in nature. For example, spiders use micro-drops to enhance the elasticity of their webs. This principle may offer interesting applications in biomimetics. and microelectronics. Furthermore, this effect can be used in industry to produce micro-electronics. In our research, we investigate the fundamental dynamics of fiber-laden droplets.

Fundamental investigations into flow phenomena and interaction mechanisms in modern high-pressure turbines are carried out at the Large Scale Turbine Rig (LSTR).

Reynolds scaling offers decisive advantages for experimental investigations, but does not reproduce Mach number effects.

After flying in a freezing condition, the aircraft wings get to a temperature below 0°C. When these wings interact with a cloud, it develops ice structures. The unprotected area on the wing poses risk of runback icing. One such areas and our area of interest is the grooves near the flaps and spoilers. Any real-life groove must have a groove curvature, which is also important while studying liquid transport. In the literature, such a groove has already been studied under an isothermal condition. However, the effects of heat transfer and phase change, which is very prominent in aircraft icing applications, has never been discussed. To capture these effects, a known but highly wettable surface must be used. As ice is super-hydrophilic, which tend to increase the rivulet spread and hence also increases the ice effected zones inside the grooves

Masterthesis
An accurate collection an interpretation of the data plays a central role for the development of driving assistance systems. HD-Maps provide detailed information about the road infrastructure, traffic rules and geometric properties. In order to evaluate and train driving functions, a ground truth is necessary to verify the algorithms.

Integration und Analyse metallischer Energieträger in multimodalen Energiesystemen mit PyPSA
Integration and analysis of metallic energy carriers in multimodal energy systems with PyPSA
2025/03/25
Masterthesis
This master’s thesis investigates the integration of metallic energy carriers into large-scale energy systems. Metallic energy carriers are first implemented in the open-source framework PyPSA (Python for Power System Analysis). Subsequently, their role and potential in future multimodal energy systems are analyzed.

Masterthesis
Electric machines generate heat due to electrical losses and mechanical friction, with cooling in the rotor-stator gap typically limited to air circulation. This study explores the effect of introducing small liquid droplets into the airflow to enhance heat transfer. By investigating aerosol-based cooling, this research aims to enhance thermal management and improve the efficiency of electric machines. The project involves designing a small gap (outer cylinder), and connecting it to an existing setup, then conducting experiments to generate and analyze aerosol flow in the gap. The impacts of droplets will be recorded and analyzed, then the aerosol generator with 3 different nozzles will be characterized.
