Organisation

Our research subjects and projects are allocated to three groups. All groups apply and further develop analytical, numerical and experimental methods.

Apl. Prof. Dr. Sc. Tatiana Gambaryan-Roisman

How do interfacial and complex wetting phenomena influence the hydrodynamics, phase change or heat and mass transfer? How can the latter be improved and controlled by using smart substrate-fluid interfaces?

Dr.-Ing. Axel Sielaff

We focus on the two-phase heat transfer of liquids to gases or vapors. How do complex fluids boil on complex surfaces? How can evaporation processes be optimized for microgravity applications?

Dr.-Ing. Frank Dammel

We model thermal energy systems, determine energy flows and derive exergy balances. Exergies can be connected to costs in order to conduct an economic evaluation.
