 Institute of Fluid DynamicsOpen OpportunitiesWe invite motivated students to work on an innovative project that combines experimental fluid dynamics and artificial intelligence to study and control quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) turbulence. The project builds upon our newly constructed electromagnetically controlled experimental system, designed to explore complex and controllable flow patterns.

| Ultrasonically driven microbubbles can produce cyclic jets driven by interfacial instabilities that can result in cellular drug uptake in targeted drug delivery. In this project, the student will develop a model to predict the acoustic signals produced by these jets.

| The interaction between natural snowfalls and atmospheric wind conditions can lead to complex snow clustering dynamics mediated by turbulence. For example, the formations of columnar structures and kinematic waves such as those present in particle-laden flows. How do such complex systems composed of millions of snowflakes lead to structure in the presence of a large variety of atmospheric turbulence conditions? Which kind of structures form depending on the snow mass loading, the type of frozen hydrometeor, and the atmospheric turbulence intensity levels? Building on a previous project that performed planar imaging, this project will focus on performing volumetric field imaging. Measurements will be performed at a professional field site in Davos where a holography setup will collocate snowflake characterization. To process the imaging data the student will join forces at the DLR in Göttingen and track snowflakes using state-of-the-art ‘Shake-the-Box’ Lagrangian particle tracking methodology. - Aerospace Engineering, Earth Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, Physics
