Teaching and Education

Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems

One of LH2's primary aims is to provide comprehensive, high-quality interdisciplinary training, predominantly for students of the study programmes Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Simulation Technology as well as the international master's programmes WAREM and COMMAS.

General Information

The courses deal with the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, the modelling of hydrosystems, the description of exchange and transport processes in flows; more advanced lectures present the theory and numerics of flow and transport in porous media. In addition to the lectures, which are held in German as well as, to a large extent, in English, various seminars are organised in co-operation with other faculties, e.g. as part of SRC SimTech. In addition, the department aims to attract students from other disciplines such as mathematics, computer sciences or process engineering.

Dear students,

Thank you for your interest in carrying out a student assignment at our department.
Below, you can find the list of exciting topics with corresponding contact people.

Topics

      • Applied simulations of reactive transport in porous media, in particular induced calcite precipitation (ICP), and the associated changes in the medium's properties unsing exsisting models.
        Supervisor: Dr.-Ing. Johannes Hommel

      • Comparing simulation results to experimental data or modeling investigations to asses different possible, realistic application scenarios of ICP. Limited experimental investigations of ICP. 
        Supervisor: Dr.-Ing. Johannes Hommel

      • Investigation of processes during painting restoration using pore-network modeling
        More information
        Supervisor: Dr.-Ing. Johannes Hommel

      • Grid refinement for the finite volume method on staggered grids.
        Supervisor: Melanie Lipp (M.Sc.)

      • Free flow and porous medium flow coupling.
        Supervisor: Edward Coltman (M.Sc.)

      • Soil-water evaporation simulation. 
        Supervisor: Edward Coltman (M.Sc.)

      • Turbulence modelling.
        Supervisor: Edward Coltman (M.Sc.)

      • Experimental and/or (as prefered) numerical investigations of vertical carbon dioxide migration as it dissolves from cave air into water columns.
        Supervisor: apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Class

      • CO2 sources and sinks in soils and CO2 fluxes in the vadose zone: a modelling study towards assessing their potential role for carbon budget models.
        Supervisor: apl. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Class

      • Experimental and/or numerical investigations of calcium carbonate precipitation
        in porous media. This can include micro-fluidic experiments, image processing, simulations on different scales. 
        Supervisor: Felix Weinhardt (M.Sc.)

      • Realisation of a general advection-diffusion model in DuMuX. 
        Supervisor: Dr. -Ing. Martin Schneider

      • Mixed-dimension coupling methods with distributed sources for two-phase flow problems in porous media.
        Supervisor: Hanchuan Wu (M.Sc.)

      • Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow through Porous Media. 
        Supervisor: Tufan Ghosh (PhD)

      • Investigation of transmissibility development due to precipitation processes in pore-network models using a thin-strip concept. More information
        Supervisor: Theresa Schollenberger (M.Sc.)

The Ferienakademie was founded in 1994 by Prof. F.L. Bauer from TU Munich. In 1985, the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg became the second organising university. The University of Stuttgart followed in 2002. Since 2005, the Ferienakademie has been directed by Prof. H.-J. Bungartz from TU Munich.

Donations from companies and the sponsoring associations of the three organising universities as well as own funds make it possible to hold the Ferienakademie in the Sarntal Valley in South Tyrol. It is intended to motivate and support talented and interested students from the three organising universities.
