Internships

Development and application of flow measurement techniques

Fields

Mechanical Engineering

Duration

3-6 months

Deadline

February 15 for fall internship

October 1 for spring internship

Supervisor

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Vennemann

Project description

Depending on skills and interest, different projects in the field of flow measurement and visualization are possible. Available are a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA), a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system, hot wire anemometers and a small wind tunnel. In previous UA7 internships, students developed fluid force measurements on car side mirrors and power curve measurements on model wind turbines for educational uses. Future projects may focus on the measurement of indoor ventilation flows or smoke / laser visualizations of different ventilation set-ups. Other project ideas are welcome.

Tasks

Depending on the selected project:

Literature study of theoretical background and state of the art
