TRR/SFB 287 – Scientific Assistant (m,f,x) Project S
The Chair of Thermal Turbomachines and Aeroengines in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Ruhr University Bochum (LSTTF) is among the leading research groups in Germany in the field of numerical modelling and simulation of energy transformation systems. Cutting-edge numerical and experimental research is carried out, covering a broad spectrum of topics from classic turbomachinery aerothermodynamics, aeroelastics, two-phase flows and non-ideal compressible fluid dynamics.Within a strongly interdisciplinary set of projects (TRR/SFB 287 and - particularly Subproject S), the transport and reaction dynamics in reacting fixed beds of arbitrary morphology will be investigated numerically as well as experimentally in order to derive general models for a seamless simulation of the solid, free gas- and interstitial phase in large scale systems. One of the major objectives of this collaborative project is the realisation of an open-source simulation platform based on the open-source solver OpenFOAM where pre- and post-processing functionalities are integrated in a unique simulation environment hence allowing a systematic evaluation of experimental data and at the same time the realisation of a strongly automatized numerical validation and verification system.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany's leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum's declared aim.
