Investigation of the mixture formation of alternative fuel blends
HiWi for simulations and data analysis
2024/10/01
At the institue of Simulation of Reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems, we conduct research on the modelling and simulation of chemically reactive flows. This includes the investigation of biofuel blending with gasoline in engine sprays. Due to the different thermophysical properties of oxygenated fuels, a different spray formation, evaporation and mixture formation occurs in engine sprays. This subsequently affects flame characteristics and pollutant formation.

Effusion cooling air – flame and flame – wall interaction with direct chemistry and therochemical manifolds
2024/06/20
The Institute for the Simulation of Reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems (STFS) is at the forefront of research and development in the field of reactive thermo-fluid dynamics. One of our research areas is the optimization of combustion chambers using simulation methods with regard to pollutant emissions.
A combustion chambers is for example found in gas turbines, where effusion cooling is employed to mitigate the impact of high thermal loads on the combustor walls. In effusion cooled combustors, the interaction of the flame with the cooling air influences the local flame structure and pollutant formation, a phenomenon not yet fully understood.
In your work, these effects are to be investigated in more detail under different operating conditions with detailed chemistry and thermochemical manifolds (a method often used in our institute to speed up simulations).
