The department of FLOW AND MATERIAL SIMULATION deals with the modeling and simulation of fluid dynamical and structure elastic processes for the optimization of materials and components. One of our main competences is the efficient numerical solution of multiscale and multiphysical problems occurring in Material Simulation.
Our clients are producers of technical textiles and composite materials, metal and plastic processing companies, particularly foundries, as well as subsequent processing branches, such as filter producers and system suppliers in the field of automobile technology.

Competences

• Microstructure Simulation and Virtual Material Design

  

  The work within the group of microstructure simulation and virtual material design can be summarized by the overall concept of "GeoDict"; we are developing and marketing software for the optimization of complex three-dimensional geometric structures of porous materials and composites.

• Hydrodynamics

  

  The subject Hydrodynamics deals with flows wich are relevant for industrial as well as for ecological applications. Usually, we have to solve multiphysical problems, partly with free surfaces.

• Complex Fluids

  

  The Complex Fluids group deals with rheological complex fluid flow problems and analysis of physical complex processes relevant for industrial applications. Our competences include mathematical-physical modelling of material properties and industrial processes as well as development of fast, robust and efficient numerical algorithms for performing computer simulations of the identified models.

• Mechanics of Materials

  

  In order to shorten product development times, simulation techniques and automatic optimization methods are applied for the optimization of component shapes, of their production, or of the selection of materials which have been used.
