Research area
Multiphase processes and reactors
The research focus is on the experimental and numerical investigation of reactive multiphase systems (gas, liquid, solid). The interactions of heat and mass transfer between different phases with the reaction kinetics and their effect on the efficiency of the overall system are considered. This includes experimental investigations of reaction kinetics as well as heat and mass transfer processes. In particular, the interaction between fluid and structure is investigated and how a targeted modification of surface properties can influence the transport processes in multiphase systems.
The overall aim is to develop kinetic models and integrate them into scale-resolving CFD models to simulate and optimize the process.
