5.04.4587 - Advanced CFD and wind turbine aerodynamics
- Dr. Bernhard Stoevesandt
Wednesday: 14:00 - 16:00, weekly (from 16/10/19)

The aim is that the students learn how to approach all kinds of real numerical problems in CFD and solve them. Everyone is supposed to be set up to date on the current problems and challenges of CFD in aerodynamics and their solutions. Content: CFD wake modeling, grid generators and computational stability, developing fluid structure interaction solvers, detached eddy simulations (DES), turbulent inflow field generation
5.04.4652 - Stochastic Processes in Experiments
- Matthias Wächter
Thursday: 12:00 - 14:00, weekly (from 17/10/19)

Die Studierenden erwerben fortgeschrittene Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der nichtlinearen Dynamik experimenteller Systeme. Sie erlangen Fertigkeiten zum sicheren und selbstständigen Umgang mit modernen Konzepten und Methoden der Analyse von Messdaten komplexer Systeme. Sie erweitern ihre Kompetenzen hinsichtlich der Fähigkeiten zur erfolgreichen Bearbeitung anspruchsvoller Probleme mit modernen analytischen und numerischen Methoden, zur selbstständigen Erarbeitung aktueller Fachveröffentlichungen sowie der Bedeutung stochastischer Differentialgleichungen im Kontext unterschiedlicher Anwendungen. Inhalte: Theoretische Grundlagen stochastischer Differentialgleichungen und der Bestimmung ihrer Parameter. Darstellung verschiedener Beispiele für die Schätzung der Parameter stochastischer Differentialgleichungen aus experimentellen Daten unter Berücksichtigung der Besonderheiten der jeweils untersuchten experimentellen Systeme.

Lecture Goal and Competencies: The lecture Hydro Power I seeks to familiarize students with technological, socioeconomic and ecological aspects. Students get acquainted with basics of the technical components of Hydro Power (HP) and Ocean Power (OP) systems: their setup, their operation, their specific challenges and their linkages with one another. At the end of this unit students may size a HP for given local geographic and hydrological conditions on a basic level. They can describe the entire setup as well as individual components. They are aware of basic challenges beyond the technical problems of HP and OP systems. Students are in the position to list advantages and disadvantages of HP and OP in comparison with other renewable energy technology. Detailed Content*: • 2h Theoretical background – general hydraulic terms, Bernoulli Equation, Major Empirical Formulae and their backgrounds. • 2h Water Resource – catchment area, seasonal precipitation, flow duration curve, dam, & run off river. • 2h Powerhouse – penstock, water hammer, cavitation, tailrace. • 4h Turbines – main types of turbines, their characteristics & their components. • 3h Ocean Power Overview * indicated times are face-to-face times.
