  • Characterization of ignition and combustion of woods for understanding wildfire spreading

    2024/07/08

    Wildfire is a common natural disaster, which causes huge damage to the environment and humans’ life and properties. To extinguish wildfires and/or minimize its impact, a good prediction of their spreading properties, such as direction and velocity, are crucial. Since wildfire spreading is a very complicated large-scale phenomenon involving complex geometries, flow conditions, and combustion, the investigation of them usually remains at a macro level without digging into the physics of some essential components of the problem.

    Therefore, there is a significant gap of fundamental knowledge that hurdles a reliable simulation/forecast of wildfire spreading. To improve our understanding and thus better prediction of wildfire spreading, the fundamental combustion properties of wood, one of the essential components, need to be studied under a well-controlled condition. Under co-flow conditions, where the spreading direction of the wildfire is the same as that of wind, the ignition and combustion of trees occur in a high-temperature and low-oxygen atmosphere.

    This project will apply advanced optical techniques, e.g., infrared thermometry, to study the fundamental ignition and combustion properties of woods (in the form of stick) under a representative co-flow condition that can be produced by a laminar flow reactor.

  • Experimental Investigation of Premixed Combustion in a Porous Media Burner for High-power and Low-emission Energy Applications

    2024/07/05

    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.

  • Development of a Novel Laminar Flow Reactor for Optical Measurements of Biomass Flames in NH3-enriched Atmospheres

    2024/07/05

    As the push for sustainable energy solutions intensifies, the combustion of biomass solid fuels in ammonia (NH3)-enriched atmospheres presents a promising path forward. This approach not only leverages renewable biomass resources but also explores the potential of ammonia as a carbon-free hydrogen carrier and fuel. To deepen our understanding of the combustion dynamics and emission characteristics under these conditions, we propose the development of a novel laminar flow reactor specifically designed for optical measurements of biomass solid fuel flames in an NH3-enriched atmosphere.

  • Development of a hydrogen combustor for high-temperature, highpressure, and high-turbulence conditions

    2024/07/05

    As global climate policies become increasingly stringent, reducing pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions has become a paramount objective in combustion research. Hydrogen-powered combustors promise to reduce pollutant emissions, particularly NOx, while enhancing efficiency and performance under extreme conditions. However, harnessing hydrogen's potential requires overcoming significant technical challenges, particularly in designing combustors that can operate under extreme conditions while minimizing emissions. A better fundamental understanding of hydrogen combustion requires urgently experimental research efforts. This project focuses on developing a lab-scale hydrogen-powered combustor capable of operating under high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-turbulence conditions.

  • Implementierung eines Physics-Informed Neural Networks für ein akustisches Problem

    2024/07/04

    Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) are an exciting new field of research at the interface of computer science and engineering. They offer an interesting possibility for solving and interpolating partial differential equations of a physical problem. In this thesis, a PINN is to be implemented for an acoustic problem. The basis for this is the simulation of a simple acoustic application, which is used to generate the training data for the PINN. The “loss-function” used to train the neural network ensures that the field variables predicted by the neural network predict the training data on the one hand and that the basic physical equations underlying the acoustic problem are adhered to on the other.

  • 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).

  • Ice adhesion of a frozen liquid bridge at different strain rates

    2024/06/04

    The aircraft industry works intensively on the development of various anti-icing and ice prevention systems. One of the most important parameters characterizing icing is the adhesion strength, which determines how strong an ice layer is attached to the aircraft surface. This project will help to accurately measure the tensile stresses associated with the ice adhesion at different strain rates. The idea is based on the application of a constant strain rate on a frozen liquid bridge and measuring the adhesion forces required to detach substrate from ice. In this Master thesis, a comprehensive experimental study will be conducted on existing ice adhesion setup to determine optimum parameters for frozen liquid bridge ice adhesion testing.

  • Hydrodynamics of a drop impact onto a fast moving liquid layer

    2024/05/13

    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. Previous experiments in the scientific community have predominantly focused on the impact of droplets on static or low velocity liquid film layers.

    Aerothermale Charakterisierung der Kühlluftströmung in Wasserkraft-Generatoren

    One of the main components of hydropower plants is the electrical generator converting mechanical to electrical energy. Despite the very high efficiency, dissipation occurs due to electromagnetic losses and must be removed from the system. For this purpose, a thermodynamic cycle is realized providing the required cooling air to the critical devices. A model of a hydro generator is currently in the design process, that will enable a detailed experimental analysis of the cooling flow.

    The aim of this thesis is to develop a novel approach for topology optimization of linear elasticity problems in solid mechanics using immersed boundary conformal isogeometric analysis (IBC-IGA). In particular, the explicit description of the boundaries of the optimal topology as spline curves shall be combined with the boundary-conformal quadrature method. In this way, it will be possible to represent complex geometries with relatively few design variables and facilitate efficient gradient-based design optimization.
