Main subject is the CFD-model development and validation for multiphase flows for medium and large scale industrial applications basing on the multi-fluid approach. Dedicated experiments as well as DNS / LES aiming on the development and validations of closure models.

Main topics are the investigation of transient multi- and two-phase flows, the investigation of safety and efficiency of thermohydraulic systems in nuclear and chemical processing facilities, and the process optimisation and diagnostics of chemical processes.

Focus on experimental and numerical research on flow control by means of electro­magnetic forces in conducting fluids as well as in numerical simulations and optimization of ­magnetic field self-excitation in a liquid metal flow.

The focus is on complex multiphase flows in resource technology processes such as froth flotation, electrolysis or extraction. Innovative measurement technology is used to investigate sub-processes and test strategies for process intensification.
