Zur Unterstützung der Forschung am Fachgebiet STFS wird eine Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft gesucht. Gegenwärtige Fragestellungen befassen sich mit der turbulenten Verbrennung von Wasserstoff als zukünftigem Energieträger, Schadstoffbildung sowie die Entwicklung neuer Verbrennungskonzepte.

Eisen statt Kohle als Energieträger der nahen Zukunft

Join us for an interesting seminar on the transformation of our future energy systems on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus, we cordially invite you to a one-day seminar entitled „Towards Carbon-neutral Energy and Processes“. Topical reviews will be presented by distinguished scientists, providing the opportunity for intense discussion and networking. Information on the presenters, titles and abstracts can be found below. The event is especially aimed at PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows. For travel information, accommodations and online registration, please visit the homepage of this seminar (link below). This seminar is supported by the Clean Circles and SFB/Transregio 150 projects.

Die Professoren Christian Hasse und Andreas Dreizler im Interview mit Science Reporter Carlos Meyer

Wie können wir in der Zukunft klimaneutral fliegen? Und wie können wir erneuerbare Energien wie z. B. Windenergie speichern, um Strom auch bei Windstille bereitstellen zu können? Mit diesen Fragen beschäftigt sich Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Hasse an der Technischen Universität Darmstadt. An dem rund siebenminütigen Beitrag aus der Reihe „Science Reporter“ war auch Professor Andreas Dreizler, der konkrete Experimente zum Thema erläutert.

On 3/26/2022, Prof. Hasse gave a presentation on multi-regime combustion in the Combustion Webinar. Multi-regime combustion occurs in almost all technical systems and its importance will increase significantly with the future use of hydrogen.

The 5th edition of the “Two Day Workshop for Engine Simulations using OpenFOAM Technology” workshop has been a great success. After a long period of not meeting colleagues and friends due to the ongoing pandemic, it has been great to hold the workshop in person at the Lufthansa Seeheim Conference Hotel near Darmstadt. The meeting was co-organized by the STFS (Simulation of reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems) group at TU Darmstadt and the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) group at Politecnico di Milano.

The next-generation of aircraft combustors needs to be designed to minimize pollutant emissions while improving thermal efficiency. Especially, soot emissions, generated by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, are particularly harmful to human health and have detrimental effects on the global climate. Reducing particle emissions in future aero-engine combustors requires predictive and accurate soot models, together with turbulence and chemistry models.
