  • Untersuchung der Dynamik von Tröpfchen auf vibrierenden superhydrophoben Oberflächen

    Investigation of the dynamics of droplets on vibrating superhydrophobic surfaces

    Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)

    Droplet oscillation on superhydrophobic surfaces has the potential to enable a controlled droplet movement in microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems. Extensive research has already been carried out in this area. With a comprehensive literature review and subsequent application of previously derived equations to approximate the system, existing gaps are now to be closed.

  • Analyse eines bestehenden Simulationsaufbaus für die Tropfenverdampfung im Rahmen eines EU-Projekts

    Analysis of an existing simulation setup for droplet evaporation as part of an of an EU project

    Masterthesis, Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)

    Supraparticles, which are created by the self-organised accumulation of nanoparticles, offer a wide range of potential applications due to their unique properties. One remarkable method is the generation of supraparticles on superhydrophobic surfaces by vapour deposition of droplets. This method allows precise control over the shape and arrangement of the resulting particle structures. In this study we will perform a parametric analysis of the current model for the evaporation of nanofluids. We will validate the results using experimental data from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research as part of an EU project.

  • Analyse der Marangoni-Strömung in einem Flüssigkeitsfilm im Rahmen eines EU-Projekts

    Analysis of the Marangoni flow in a liquid film as part of an EU project

    2024/03/04

    Bachelorthesis, Advanced Design Project (ADP)

    Film evaporation is of great importance for both scientific research and industry. In this context, the Marangoni effect, which results from fluctuations in surface tension, plays a central role in shaping the behaviour of the liquid film during evaporation and significantly influences its dynamics and properties. Numerical simulations provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms that influence the evaporation process. The aim of this work is to change the operating parameters and observe the changes with the existing COMSOL setup.
