Robots are extremely versatile machines with almost endless application possibilities. In the course of an exhibition, a prototype demonstrator of these diverse applications was developed, in which our 7-axis collaborative robot arm ‘Rica’ is used to draw faces. Images are converted into line drawings and paths to be traversed are calculated from them. This demonstrator is now to be further developed and upgraded.

Aufbau einer automatisierten Auswerteroutine für numerische Strömungssimulationen von Turbomaschinen
Development of an Automated Evaluation Routine for Numerical Flow Simulations of Turbomachinery
2025/08/27
At the Institute for Gas Turbines and Aerospace Propulsion, high-resolution computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed to investigate the behaviour of high-pressure turbine stages under realistic operating conditions. The focus is on questions relating to aerothermal loading and the influencing factors of unsteady flow phenomena from the combustion chamber. Various methods and tools are currently used to analyse the extensive simulation data. However, in order to ensure uniform, reproducible and easily adaptable evaluation, Python-based routines for turbomachinery applications are to be developed as part of this work.

Determination of Damping and Inertia Characteristics in Narrow Annular Gaps Using Dynamic CFD Simulations
Bestimmung der Dämpfungs- und Trägheitseigenschaften in engen Ringspalten mittels dynamischer CFD Simulationen
2025/08/13
In modern turbomachinery, shaft vibrations caused by fluid film forces and moments in annular seals often limit performance and reliability. Consequently, this narrow fluid filled annuli play a crucial role in the overall system behavior. The dynamic characteristics of such narrow gaps like journal bearings and annular seals significantly influence the turbomachinery’s response. These characteristics are commonly represented by classical mechanical components springs, dampers, and masses which enable their characterization through the rotordynamic coefficients of stiffness, damping, and inertia. While the stiffness coefficients have been determined through a completed static CFD analysis utilizing a fully developed 360° mesh with eccentricity and tilt, the remaining task is to determine the damping and inertia coefficients.

As part of the energy transition, fossil fuels must be replaced by renewable alternatives. One of the key challenges here is the efficient storage and transport of large amounts of energy. A promising approach is the use of iron powder as a CO₂-free energy source in a closed material cycle: iron is oxidized, the resulting energy is stored, and the iron oxide is then regenerated.

OPC UA is an open, platform-independent standard for industrial communication that is particularly suitable for describing industrial robots thanks to its modelable structure. However, the corresponding Robotics Companion Specification (CS) is currently only in the early stages of development. URDF is an XML-based format for modeling robots in the Robot Operating System (ROS) and contains comprehensive information on structure and kinematics. Since both formats are based on XML, structured mapping between URDF and OPC UA appears useful for converting existing models into standardized OPC UA structures.

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
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.

Microfluidics for Nuclear Fusion
Experiments for a Sustainable Future
2025/07/17
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
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.

The evaporation of liquid droplets, a phenomenon ubiquitous in daily life, has garnered significant attention in scientific research. Of particular interest is the evaporation of droplets laden with nonvolatile solutes, which results in intricate deposition patterns on the substrate. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation of these patterns is crucial for various technical applications, spanning from coating and inkjet printing to disease detection. This work delves into the development of a comprehensive model of the specific ring-like deposition patterns observed during the drying of droplets.

As emission regulations tighten and policies evolve to address global climate change, reducing pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions has become a top priority in combustion research. The advanced combustion concept of matrix-stabilized combustion is essential for achieving low emissions and improved flame stabilization in fuel-lean conditions. Combustion within an inert porous matrix differs significantly from conventional burners that use a free flame. Porous media burners (PMBs) rely on the principle that the solid porous matrix internally recirculates heat from combustion products back to the reactants. This internal heat recirculation in PMBs lowers the lean flammability limit of fuel-air mixtures, enabling lower emissions, reduced thermal stresses due to lower flame temperatures, and complete fuel conversion through lean combustion. However, stabilizing these flames within the porous matrix poses challenges due to the complex thermophysical, transport, and heat-transfer processes involved.
The objective of this project is to install a well-designed PMB in the RSM laboratories and perform the first experimental investigation using different pore structures and fuel mixtures.
