Topics for Bachelor & Master Theses or Study Projects
- There is always the possibility to write a Bachelor or Master thesis in the direction of numerical simulation of turbulent flows using stochastic approaches as ODT/ODTLES. The scientific topics reach from mixing, boundary layer processes, combustion, process engineering to meteorology and geophysics.
- The Chair specializes in fundamental research using Stochastic Turbulence Models.
- Students can also propose their own idea for a Thesis.
- Possible tools to carry out the research are, e.g., OpenFOAM, Ansys Fluent, Nek5000, and
in-house CFD software. - Required skills: solid background in fluid mechanics; experience with CFD methods (e.g. modules CFD 1 and CFD Project) and turbulence modeling, (e.g. module Turbulence Modeling)
- Desired skills: programming experience in Fortran,C/C++, R, Python or Matlab; basic experience with Linux and computing clusters (e.g. modules Fundamentals of CFD or Parallel Computing).
- Specific topics where the chair staff can already propose a detailed project outline are listed below.
