Hintergrund: Leistungselektronik spielt eine Schlüsselrolle in der Energiewende, da sie den effizienten Umgang mit erneuerbaren Energien ermöglicht. Sie ist entscheidend für die Umwandlung, Steuerung und Verteilung elektrischer Energie in Anwendungen wie Photovoltaikanlagen, Windkraftwerken und Bat...

Background: Power electronics play a key role in the energy transition by enabling the efficient use of renewable energy sources. It is crucial for converting, controlling, and distributing electrical energy in applications such as photovoltaic systems, wind power plants, and battery storage system...

Um die Materialförderung im Tiefseebergbau zu überwachen, kommen verschiedene Sensoren zum Einsatz. Unter anderem ist eine Kamera auf den Fluidstrom gerichtet und nimmt Bilder der durchfließenden Partikel auf. Mithilfe von Bildverarbeitungstechniken können in Echtzeit wichtige Parameter wie die Gesc...

Microencapsulation has profound applications towards cosmetics research and product development. Despite numerous applications targeting a wide array of cosmetics products, and high necessity, this technology has not yet been successfully established towards lipstick applications, attributing to sev...

DNA is the blueprint of life! In addition to their biochemical properties, their physical characteristics under large-scale mechanical deformations must be studied, attributing to a wide range of industrial applications. Are you strongly motivated to contribute to the world of pioneering DNA rheolog...

The flow-induced onset of particle motion at rough surfaces and granular beds is important for many natural processes and industrial applications like erosion and sedimentation, the formation of dunes, the cleaning of surfaces, filtration, the transportation of fluids in pipes or the assembling of m...

Background: High fidelity simulations of turbulence often involve long integration times and lengthy simulations. Given the (inverse) proportionality of the computational cost with time step size, one method to reduce the overall cost is through increasing the time step size, thus requiring fewer ti...

Background: The Institute of Fluid Mechanics is involved in an European project called CEEC (https://ceec-coe.eu/).  CEEC’s ambition is to enable the use of exascale computers for key computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications and demonstrate their capabilities through key light-house cases. ...
