Each month, interesting research images from the field of New Materials and Processes will be shown, including additional information on our webpages.
To start with, we present the cover picture:
Coupled lattice Boltzmann and discrete element method simulation of particle-laden flows in porous media. (image and research: Dr. Qingguang Xie, Johannes Hielscher, Prof. Jens Harting, Dynamics of Complex Fluids and Interfaces / Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy)
The image shows the trajectories of micrometer-sized particles which are transported by a fluid flow inside a porous medium. The simulation was performed using a hybrid method combining a lattice Boltzmann solver for the fluid flow with a discrete element method for the suspended particles. The colors of the trajectories depict the flow velocities.
The new FAU EAM / FAU NMP calendar 2024 arrived!
