From the coming summer semester 2024, the Institute Simulation of Reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems (STFS) will be offering the joint course „Decarbonization of Industrial Processes“ in cooperation with DLR for the first time. The lecture will take place at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and will be transmitted digitally and interactively for the module at TU Darmstadt.

Chemical reactor network modeling in the context of solid fuel combustion under oxy-fuel atmospheres

In our last news article, I discussed results from direct numerical simulation (DNS) resolving all scales in a very generic configuration. Here I would like to draw your attention to the other end of the spectrum – technically relevant scales.

First direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent ignition and combustion of micrometer-sized iron particle suspensions

I am very pleased that our first DNS paper on a turbulent iron flame has been accepted for publication in Flow, Turbulence and Combustion (Springer). This was a great collaboration of Technische Universität Darmstadt, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Universität Stuttgart, Universität Bayreuth and the Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation.

Some first steps to understand the fascinating physics of the so-called discrete mode

I am extremely proud that we were able to make important progress. In two recent papers in Combustion and Flame, we have investigated the case of weak (part 1, small Péclet number) and strong convection effects (part 2, large Péclet number).

An important pathway for future climate-friendly aviation

hr-Fernsehbeitrag über unsere Forschung zu Eisen als Energiespeicher ausgestrahlt

Redakteur Rainer Terzo von der „Alles Wissen“ Redaktion des Hessischer Rundfunk hat Clean Circles im November mit einem Drehteam besucht, um mehr über Eisen als zentralen Baustein der Energiewende zu erfahren.

STFS researchers Hanna Reinhardt and Philipp Koob presented recent findings of our aero-engines group at the ASME Turbo Expo 2023 in Boston.

Flames are hot … well, not always

The STFS aero-engine thermoacoustics team Cetin Alanyalioglu and Hanna Reinhardt travelled to Zurich in September 2023 to network with the scientific acoustics community and to present the resent advances in processing of thermoacoustic data sets and hybrid, high-fidelity LES-CAA coupling.

Vom 9.-13. Oktober waren STFS und RSM wie alle 2 Jahre (Ausnahme 2021, wo wir wegen Corona erst 2022 gefahren sind) auf einwöchiger Klausurtagung im Kleinwalsertal.

Clean Circles veranstaltet Workshop über Metal-enabled Cycle of Renewable Energy (MECRE)

Der zweite Internationale MECRE Workshop wird am 13.-15. November 2024 in Darmstadt stattfinden.
