We are thrilled to announce that Kasimhussen Vhora, our distinguished doctoral researcher, has had their cutting-edge research article titled "CFD Analysis of the Flow in Schwarz-D TPMS Structures for Engineering Applications" published in the renowned journal Chemie Ingenieur Technik. This achievement not only highlights the excellence of IMPRS ProEng, Magdeburg, research but also sets a new benchmark in the field of engineering applications. This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the guidance and support of the supervisory team. We would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of: Prof. Kai Sundmacher and Prof. Gábor Janiga
About the research: This study investigates the flow characteristics of Schwarz-D triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) using CFD simulations. By analyzing pressure drops and friction factors, we provide valuable insights for optimizing these structures in engineering applications, such as absorption processes.
A comprehensive analysis of the flow in Schwarz-D triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structures based on CFD simulations is presented. The pressure drops and friction factor characteristics of the structure are investigated by employing both full-scale and representative elementary volume (REV)-scale CFD setups. The results are validated against experimental data from the literature. An analytical model is developed using hydraulic diameter, porosity, and permeability from the CFD simulation results. The findings contribute valuable insights into the optimization and application of Schwarz-D TPMS structures in engineering systems.
Significance of the publication: Having this research published in Chemie Ingenieur Technik, one of the leading journals in chemical and process engineering, is a tremendous accomplishment. It is a testament to the quality and impact of the work being done at Max Planck Institute and the support provided by the International Max Planck Research School for Advanced Methods in Process and Systems Engineering (IMPRS ProEng), Magdeburg. This publication not only elevates the visibility of our research but also positions our institute as a key player in advancing engineering knowledge and innovation on the global stage.
