Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 237267381
 
In the SFB/Transregio 150, turbulent, chemically reacting multiphase flows near walls are systematically in-vestigated in a holistic approach. These near-wall flows underlie a large number of processes in technology and nature. Examples are fires, energy conversion and process engineering processes, where heat, momentum and mass transfer as well as chemical reaction processes are massively influenced by the interaction between fluid and walls. A holistic research approach is required to better understand these complex flows near walls, to create effi-cient mathematical models, and to develop accurate validated numerical simulation tools for process prediction. This approach is characterized by complementary methods in experiment, theory, modeling, and numerical simulation. In order to ensure a coherent research program and close cooperation within the project, leading examples from energy technology and fire safety are used to select, on the one hand, applica-tion scenarios with high social, technological, economic and ecological relevance and, on the other hand, processes and material systems on which the complex transport and reaction processes near the wall are investigated as examples. The leading examples related to energy technology support developments towards greater sustainability, which is one of the most important goals of the 21st century. The importance of sustainable energy conver-sion is reflected in global collaborations and internationally recognized goals. In order to avoid irreversible damage to people and the environment, the goals set must be achieved quickly. For this purpose, the scientific fundamentals of energy conversion processes must be understood in order to shorten knowledge-based development times of future technologies. The lead example on fire safety supports developments to mitigate the consequences of fires. Since fires often lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of people every year and cause considerable economic damage, the prevention and prediction of fire scenarios is of enormous importance. In order to increase fire safety, the scientific fundamentals must be researched in an analogous manner to energy conversion processes, in order to minimize damage in the future on the basis of scientific understanding. From a global perspective, the SFB/Transregio 150 is unique in that no other group is working on understanding the mechanisms, deriving models and methods, and testing them on the basis of leading examples in the context of chemically reacting multiphase flows that are influenced by walls, with such breadth and coherent objectives.
