Novel fluid designs enabled by additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing makes it possible to fabricate novel designs for fluid systems. Examples are mixers, nozzles, and burners. Goal of this work is to design, manufacture, and test a AM-made fluid flow application.
**Additive manufacturing** processes such as laser melting of metal enable the fabrication of fluid components with complex geometries. The design freedom makes it possible to develop novel applications in the fields of fluid technology, process engineering, combustion technology and develop components with high performance and functional integration. Examples include mixers, nozzles, heat exchangers or burner tips. Combining novel, bionic-looking fluid designs with additive manufacturing and a creative mindset allows to "rethink" the form of components such as mixers, nozzles, and burners as well as how they function.

Goal of this work is to design, manufacture, and experimentally test an additive manufactured component for a fluid application. The project is done at pd|z and carried out in collaboration with the CAPS lab (Combustion and Acoustics for Power Systems). The tasks are as following:
1. Identification of possible applications of additive manufacturing for parts in the area of fluid/ process engineering
2. Design and additive manufacturing of fluid flow application (e.g. nozzle, burner, mixer, to be defined)
3. Experimental testing of additive manufactured part (together with CAPSlab)
4. CFD analysis of fluid flow structure
5. Evaluation and documentation of results
