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.

Klimaziele erreichbar machen

Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) hat die Förderung des Sonderforschungsbereichs/Transregio 129 „Oxyflame – Entwicklung von Methoden und Modellen zur Beschreibung der Reaktion fester Brennstoffe in einer Oxyfuel-Atmosphäre“ um eine dritte Förderperiode von vier Jahren verlängert. Dafür wurden Mittel in einer Höhe von rund zehn Millionen Euro bewilligt. Teams der RWTH Aachen, der TU Darmstadt und der Ruhr-Universität Bochum setzen ihren Fokus auf Biomasse, um CO2-Emissionen zu verringern.

Research into a climate-neutral energy storage cycle concept using iron

The enormous potential of iron for storage and transfer of large amounts of renewable energy will be investigated by scientists at the institutes RSM and STFS as part of the “Clean Circles” cluster research project. The project is funded by the state of Hesse until 2025 with 5.7 million euros in preparation for the next round of the German Excellence Strategy .
