Entwicklung von FFF gedruckten Scaffolds für die regenerative Medizin
Development of FFF printed scaffolds for regenerative medicine
2025/09/23
Masterthesis
With FullControl G-code, the FFF printing process can be fully customized. All relevant parameters such as travel distance, extrusion factor and printing speed can be precisely controlled. This flexibility opens up the possibility of using normally undesirable phenomena such as stringing as a targeted design element. In previous projects, flexible, textile-like structures have already been reproduced in this way (see image). Future work will combine this design freedom with the customizability of FFF printing to not only reproduce existing structures, but also to develop completely new scaffolds. The aim of this thesis is to design implantable, flexible and highly porous scaffolds for tissue engineering and to investigate their influence on cell behavior.

Due to the escalating extreme weather conditions, the aircraft icing events are increasingly growing. The analysis of this phenomenon has gained increased attention, particularly in the field of aviation safety. A significant contributor to icing is the occurrence of Supercooled Large Droplets (SLD), water droplets suspended in air at temperatures below freezing one. Previous experiments in the scientific community have predominantly focused on the normal impact of these droplets on solid surfaces with low velocities.
Our research aims to expand this understanding by considering rotating surfaces and high relative impact velocities. This approach will closely simulate real-world conditions that an aircraft wing's experience.
The project consists of using an existing single-water-drop impact set-up with a rotating disk and measuring, by means of a chromatic line sensor (CLS), the thickness of the ice layer formed on the disk.

Extreme weather conditions are increasingly contributing to aircraft icing events, which pose significant safety risks. The analysis of this phenomenon has gained increased attention, particularly in the field of aviation safety.
Our research aims to better understand the involved phenomena by analyzing the single drop impact on moving surfaces at high relative impact velocities and the associated heat transfer. This approach will closely simulate the real-world conditions that aircraft wings experience.
The project involves simulating the conjugate heat-transfer of a single water drop impact onto a moving substrate to replicate existing infrared-imaging experimental data.

Spray impact on thin wall films is an important process in many industrial applications e.g. spray cooling or internal combustion. In this process the single drop impact is an integral part. The drop impact is shaped by hydro- and thermodynamic mechanisms. One of the outcomes is a corona splash where numerous secondary drops are developing which can have a significant influence on the overall process. Its understanding and prediction therefore is of great importance.
This thesis involves the investigation of the corona splash experimentally. With an already existing experimental setup with high-speed imaging, drop impact experiments should be performed. The operational parameters should be varied systematically to investigate different influences. This is achieved by using different liquids (water, silicone oils, etc.) and by changing other parameters like film temperature, film thickness etc. Afterwards the measurements are evaluated with image processing algorithms. A focus of the evaluation lies in extending existing models for the splashing threshold and additionally in analyzing the secondary spray (drop size and velocity distribution).

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
Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

Decarbonizing the chemical industry is a key challenge on the path to CO2 neutrality. For this reason, we are working in the BMBF-funded future cluster ETOS on the transformation of the chemical industry towards more climate-friendly lectrochemical technologies.
In this work, the wetting of abstract gauze structures is to be investigated using numerical simulation with OpenFOAM. In particular, the influence of different orifice geometries and wetting properties on the forming phase boundary and a possible bubble formation at too high differential pressures shall be investigated.

At the Institute of Automotive Engineering (FZD) at TU Darmstadt, we are developing model-based approaches for the holistic description of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) as part of the DFG research project MiRoVA. These are intended to be capable of representing any ADS (Automated Driving System) on a holistic level. This includes the integration of the environment in the form of the Operational Design Domain (ODD), as well as the human-machine interface (HMI) across various designs and levels of automation.

Numerischer Vergleich eines Reynolds-skalierten mit einem Mach-ähnlichen Turbinenrotor einer Hochdruckturbine
Numeric Comparison of a Reynolds-scaled turbine rotor with a Mach-similar turbine rotor of a high-pressure turbine

Masterthesis
Fundamental investigations into flow phenomena and interaction mechanisms in modern high-pressure turbines are carried out at the Large Scale Turbine Rig (LSTR). The focus is on a Reynolds-scaled high-pressure turbine rotor, which was scaled using a Mach-like high-pressure turbine test rig. 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
