Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology (IAS)
Braunschweig/Göttingen
The Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology is a leading research institute in the field of aerodynamics/aeroacoustics of airplanes and aerothermodynamics of space vehicles. It has two main sites at Braunschweig and Göttingen and has a division at Cologne. 182 Scienttists - the total personal is 267 - are engaged in numerical and experimental investigations on air- and space vehicles. Experiments are performed in wind tunnels and in flight. |

Prof.Dr.-Ing. Norbert Kroll
The goal of C2A2S2E is to establish an interdisciplinary center of
excellence in numerical aircraft simulations. The new center will
develop numerical methods and processes for highly accurate,
multidisciplinary simulations of aircraft in an industrial context.
This will be essential to overcome the technological, economical
and environmental barriers to future growth of the air transport
system. |

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Claus Wagner
In the Department Fluid Systems, geometrically and physically induced multi-scale problems of fluid mechanics and aero-acoustics are investigated based on numerical simulations and experiments. The aim of the research is to combine modeling with methods used for experimental and analytic-numerical studies of turbulent and / or multiphase flows. Problems of technical applications are thus solved through measurements, computation and the improvement of fluid dynamical systems. The latter are fluid systems in airplanes and, the aircraft cabin as well as the flow in or around systems which are of interest for the transportation, aerospace and energy industry. |
