We focus on the dynamics of non-reacting and reacting flows on both fundamental and applied configurations. Our aim is to understand the physics of unstable fluid dynamical problems, which represent a bottleneck in modern energy generating systems such as gas turbines, wind turbines or rocket engines. Our research is based on high-fidelity numerical simulations and well-equipped experiments. Based on the acquired data set, we derive models that break down the essential physics by theoretical and/or purely data-driven approaches.

  Congratulations to Mario and Vikas, who presented their PhD work during the 39th International Symposium on Combustion in Vancouver/Canada. This is the most prestegious conference in our research field: only 35% of the submitted papers are accepted after a peer-review process. Marios and Vikas' papers are accepted for the Proceedings of the Combustion Institute and will appear soon.

  The first conference in person after the pandemic situation for us, where Abdulla presented his work in collaboration with Dr. Alp Albayrak. The paper entitled "From Pressure Time Series Data to Flame Transfer Functions: A Framework for Perfectly-premixed Swirling Flames" was well received by our colleagues and is accepted for the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power.

  The DMF group hosted 13 participants of the Girl’s Day 2022 at TU Berlin. Within our workshop ‚Clean Energy Generation‘, we discussed problems in energy generation and the link to combustion science. Additionally, we prepared around 10 experiments with candle flames, with which the participants could learn ‚hands-on‘ about flammability limits, emissions, ignition etc. We enjoyed the questions, the discussions and their curiosity about this topic and hope to have sparked some deep interest in this field.
