Final Report Abstract

The Cluster of Excellence ‘Smart Interfaces: Understanding and Designing Fluid Boundaries’ focused on fluid-solid boundaries that have been designed or built for achieving a specific purpose, such as enhancement or controllability of mass, momentum or heat transfer. The main objectives of the cluster are embodied in the sequence of steps – Understand – Model – Control – Optimize – Design – Apply – as it relates to smart interfaces. The technological relevance of smart interfaces is vast, finding applications in many different engineering sectors, including transportation, thermal engineering, environmental sciences, chemical and process engineering and production engineering. Organizationally the cluster was realized as the Center of Smart Interfaces (CSI) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt and integrated principal investigators, newly appointed professors and young researchers from five departments of the Technische Universität Darmstadt (Chemistry, Mathematics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering and Physics), as well as from four neighboring non-university institutions. The research program was orientated around five interrelated Research Areas: Static and Dynamic Wettability, Heat Transfer Enhancement, Near-Wall Reactive Flows, Near-Wall Multiphase Flows, and Drag and Circulation Control. A strong emphasis was put on fundamental research; but also strong ties with industry were established, enabling an efficient and immediate transfer of knowledge. The organization of numerous conferences, workshops and seminars helped promote the exchange of ideas with colleagues and the incubation of new ideas and emerging technologies. After termination of the completion funding period, and according to the sustainability plan outlined in the initial proposal, the Center of Smart Interface took over the activities of the TU Darmstadt Research Cluster Thermo-Fluids and Combustion Engineering, therefore the center now carries the name “Center of Smart Interfaces – Thermo-Fluids and Combustion Engineering”, with a corresponding expansion of scientific scope to include also combustion processes and interface physics, not only involving near-wall effects. The cluster now includes over 30 faculty members. At the end of the completion funding more than 100 Ph.D. students supervised at CSI have received their degree and more than 50 PostDocs have been employed at CSI.
