RSM erhält Förderung für HYROPE – Hydrogen under pressure

Das Projekt HYROPE – Hydrogen under pressure, an dem Professor Andreas Dreizler vom Fachgebiet Reaktive Strömungen und Messtechnik am Fachbereich Maschinenbau beteiligt ist, wird im Rahmen des ERC Synergy Grants mit über zwölf Millionen Euro gefördert. Ziel des Projekts ist die Entwicklung von Gasturbinen, die ohne die Emission von treibhausförderndem CO 2 auskommen.

New review article published in the journal Measurement Science and Technology

The use of iron and biomass is an important building block for future climate-neutral power generation. But how exactly can the micrometer-sized particles of such solid fuels be studied? Researchers at RSM show how the properties of burning particles can be measured in a comprehensive review article in the journal Measurement Science and Technology.

One-day seminar honoring Prof. Dr. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus included several talks from renowned speakers

Join us for an interesting seminar on the transformation of our future energy systems on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus, we cordially invite you to a one-day seminar entitled „Towards Carbon-neutral Energy and Processes“. Topical reviews will be presented by distinguished scientists, providing the opportunity for intense discussion and networking. Information on the presenters, titles and abstracts can be found below. The event is especially aimed at PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows. For travel information, accommodations and online registration, please visit the homepage of this seminar (link below). This seminar is supported by the Clean Circles and SFB/Transregio 150 projects.

Event mit TED-Talk zu aktueller Forschung am RSM

Professor Andreas Dreizler from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt has been accepted as a full member of the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz. He heads the Institute of Reactive Flows and Diagnostics and is the spokesman of the Collaborative Research Center/Transregios 150 (“Turbulent, chemically reactive, multi-phase flows near walls”). Dreizler has received several awards for his research achievements, including the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize (2014) and the Fritz and Margot Faudi Foundation Prize (2012). He has been a member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering since last year, and also belongs to the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry and the Optical Society, among others. In total, the academy accepted six new members. Founded in 1949 on the initiative of Alfred Döblin, the non-university research institution and learned society is one of eight science academies in Germany. Its goals are the cultivation of science and literature as well as the preservation and promotion of culture. The Mainz Academy comprises three classes (mathematical and natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, and the class of literature and music), each with up to 50 full and 50 corresponding members.

Insights into Mechanical Engineering

On 28 June 2022, a group of schoolgirls from the Liebfrauenschule Bensheim were guests at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Professor Andreas Dreizler had invited the school's basic physics course to the TU Darmstadt. The background to this excursion was to provide insights into the job profile of an engineering scientist.

Ultra-high-speed measurements in turbulent flows conducted with a fiber laser

Reliable measurements of flow fields are necessary to gain a deeper understanding of many processes in nature and engineering. The results and possibilities of an improved method developed at the RSM have been published in the journal Experiments in Fluids and will be presented in the journal's own webinar.

Collaboration between experimentalists and numerical engineers awarded best contribution

On March 31 st , 2022, the open access peer-reviewed journal Computation announced that members of RSM won the 2020 Best Paper Award for the paper entitled “Evaluation of a Near-Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Lattice Boltzmann Method for the Analysis of Complex Flows Relevant to IC Engines.”

Projekt A03 des SFB 1487 – Eisen, neu gedacht! beginnt zum 1. Januar 2022 am RSM

Im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereiches 1487 „Eisen, neu gedacht!“ wird im Förderzeitraum vom 1.1.2022 bis zum 1.1.2025 die Nutzung von eisenbasierten Werkstoffen mit dem Fokus auf ihre magnetischen und katalytischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Eisen ist das am häufigsten in der Erdkruste vorkommende Metall und könnte zukünftig seltene, toxische und umweltschädliche Metalle in wesentlichen chemischen Anwendungen ersetzen. Am Fachbereich Maschinenbau beteiligt sich das Fachgebiet Reaktive Strömungen und Messtechnik am Forschungskonsortium.
