Flowing liquids and gases are essential for technical and industrial applications: thermo fluids transport energy, whether in heat exchangers or to cool notebooks. Interfacial phenomena are characteristic for, for example, innovative printing and production processes. Multiphase flows are essential for technical processes. Microfluidics allow the control of chemical reactions in production.

The profile topic Thermo-Fluids and Interfacial Phenomena is creating the foundations and optimised processes as a basis for new energy and production processes. In doing so, the profile topic analyses, describes, and predicts, in detail, complex flows, wetting processes of surfaces, as well as heat and mass transfer – which are highly relevant for energy and environmental processes.

The profile topic Thermo-Fluids and Interfacial Phenomena thus enables novel processes and processes as well as more energy-efficient machines. Our goal: to reduce the use of resources and thus the negative consequences for the environment.
