Iron is considered as a promising energy carrier in metal-based energy storage cycles, where energy is released via thermochemical oxidation. As part of this thesis, a laser system for the controlled ignition of single levitated iron particles will be developed, constructed, and commissioned to enable their elemental analysis during combustion using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS).

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.

Im Rahmen des aktuellen Forschungsschwerpunkts des FSR wird die Machbarkeit zukünftiger Flugdecks mit einer reduzierten Besatzung untersucht. Dazu gehören auch Veränderungen im Design und in der Funktionalität der Cockpits. Moderne Cockpits sollen den Piloten nicht nur situationsabhängig unterstützen, sondern auch in jeder Flugphase zur Reduktion der Arbeitsbelastung beitragen. Hierbei wird auf die Benutzung von modernen und integrierten Lösungen zurückgegriffen, wobei die Analyse und Optimierung von bestehenden Systemen und Trends eine wichtige Grundlage für die zukünftige Entwicklung bildet

Advances in avionics technology require a reevaluation of existing certification and regulatory requirements. Understanding applicable requirements is critical for ensuring system compliance, safety, and operational approval. However, the complexity and fragmentation of existing standards present major challenges during development. To support future systems, a structured approach to analyzing and mapping relevant regulations is needed.

In the context of developing a new flight simulation environment, the integration of realistic and dynamic air traffic is essential to enable credible and operationally relevant scenarios. To support situational awareness and decision-making, this traffic must not only be technically simulated but also presented in a way that is intuitive and cognitively appropriate for human users. Therefore, the design of human-centered visualization concepts plays a critical role. The simulation environment should support various use cases, including training and evaluation, where clear and meaningful traffic displays are required. A modular and adaptable traffic simulation framework will form the technical foundation for this work.

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

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.

Dynamics of Fibre-laden Drops
Experiments where solid and fluid mechanics meet

Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis
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.

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

Analyse der funktionen- und komponentenbezogenen Kundenzufriedenheit im Kontext des Fahrzeugwechsels
2025/05/14
Masterthesis
Im Rahmen des Projekts DaCCCar wird am Fachgebiet Fahrzeugtechnik (FZD) an der Entwicklung von langlebigen Fahrzeugkonzepten geforscht. Kunden entscheiden, wann ein Fahrzeug ausgetauscht werden soll. Die fahrzeugbezogenen Faktoren, die auf die Entscheidung einwirken, sollen in dieser Arbeit durch Interviews identifiziert und Komponenten nach ihrer Bedeutung klassifiziert werden.
