This thesis aims at the presentation and discussion of well-accepted and new
imaging techniques applied to different types of flow in common hydraulic
engineering environments. All studies are conducted in laboratory conditions and
focus on flow depth and velocity measurements. Investigated flows cover a wide
range of complexity, e.g. propagation of waves, dam-break flows, slightly and fully
aerated spillway flows as well as highly turbulent hydraulic jumps.
Newimagingmethods are compared to different types of sensorswhich are frequently
employed in contemporary laboratory studies. This classical instrumentation as well
as the general concept of hydraulic modeling is introduced to give an overview on
experimental methods.
Flow depths are commonly measured by means of ultrasonic sensors, also known as
acoustic displacement sensors. These sensors may provide accurate data with high
sample rates in case of simple flow conditions, e.g. low-turbulent clear water flows.
However, with increasing turbulence, higher uncertainty must be considered.
Moreover, ultrasonic sensors can provide point data only, while the relatively large
acoustic beam footprint may lead to another source of uncertainty in case of
relatively short, highly turbulent surface fluctuations (ripples) or free-surface
air-water flows. Analysis of turbulent length and time scales of surface fluctuations
from point measurements is also difficult. Imaging techniques with different
dimensionality, however, may close this gap. It is shown in this thesis that edge
detection methods (known from computer vision) may be used for two-dimensional
free-surface extraction (i.e. from images taken through transparant sidewalls in
laboratory flumes). Another opportunity in hydraulic laboratory studies comes with
the application of stereo vision. Low-cost RGB-D sensors can be used to gather
instantaneous, three-dimensional free-surface elevations, even in flows with very
high complexity (e.g. aerated hydraulic jumps). It will be shown that the uncertainty
of these methods is of similar order as for classical instruments.
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a well-accepted and widespread imaging
technique for velocity determination in laboratory conditions. In combination with
high-speed cameras, PIV can give time-resolved velocity fields in 2D/3D or even as
volumetric flow fields. PIV is based on a cross-correlation technique applied to small
subimages of seeded flows. The minimum size of these subimages defines the
maximum spatial resolution of resulting velocity fields. A derivative of PIV for
aerated flows is also available, i.e. the so-called Bubble Image Velocimetry (BIV). This
thesis emphasizes the capacities and limitations of both methods, using relatively
simple setups with halogen and LED illuminations. It will be demonstrated that
PIV/BIV images may also be processed by means of Optical Flow (OF) techniques.
OF is another method originating from the computer vision discipline, based on the
assumption of image brightness conservation within a sequence of images. The
Horn-Schunck approach, which has been first employed to hydraulic engineering
problems in the studies presented herein, yields dense velocity fields, i.e. pixelwise
velocity data. As discussed hereinafter, the accuracy of OF competes well with PIV
for clear-water flows and even improves results (compared to BIV) for aerated flow
conditions. In order to independently benchmark the OF approach, synthetic images
with defined turbulence intensitiy are used.
Computer vision offers new opportunities that may help to improve the
understanding of fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interactions in laboratory
investigations. In prototype environments, it can be employed for obstacle detection
(e.g. identification of potential fish migration corridors) and recognition (e.g. fish
species for monitoring in a fishway) or surface reconstruction (e.g. inspection of
hydraulic structures). It can thus be expected that applications to hydraulic
engineering problems will develop rapidly in near future. Current methods have not
been developed for fluids in motion. Systematic future developments are needed to
improve the results in such difficult conditions.
High aerodynamic efficiency requires propellers with high aspect ratios, while propeller sweep potentially reduces noise. Propeller sweep and high aspect ratios increase elasticity and coupling of structural mechanics and aerodynamics, affecting the propeller performance and noise. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of elasticity on forward-swept, backward-swept, and unswept propellers in hover conditions. A reduced-order blade element momentum approach is coupled with a one-dimensional Timoshenko beam theory and Farassat's formulation 1A. The results of the aeroelastic simulation are used as input for the aeroacoustic calculation. The analysis shows that elasticity influences noise radiation because thickness and loading noise respond differently to deformations. In the case of the backward-swept propeller, the location of the maximum sound pressure level shifts forward by 0.5 °, while in the case of the forward-swept propeller, it shifts backward by 0.5 °. Therefore, aeroacoustic optimization requires the consideration of propeller deformation.
In this work, the effects of carbon sources and culture media on the production and structural properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) synthesized by Medusomyces gisevii have been studied. The culture medium was composed of different initial concentrations of glucose or sucrose dissolved in 0.4% extract of plain green tea. Parameters of the culture media (titratable acidity, substrate conversion degree etc.) were monitored daily for 20 days of cultivation. The BC pellicles produced on different carbon sources were characterized in terms of biomass yield, crystallinity and morphology by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Our results showed that Medusomyces gisevii had higher BC yields in media with sugar concentrations close to 10 g L−1 after a 18–20 days incubation period. Glucose in general lead to a higher BC yield (173 g L−1) compared to sucrose (163.5 g L−1). The BC crystallinity degree and surface roughness were higher in the samples synthetized from sucrose. Obtained FE-SEM micrographs show that the BC pellicles synthesized in the sucrose media contained densely packed tangles of cellulose fibrils whereas the BC produced in the glucose media displayed rather linear geometry of the BC fibrils without noticeable aggregates.
Even the shortest flight through unknown, cluttered environments requires reliable local path planning algorithms to avoid unforeseen obstacles. The algorithm must evaluate alternative flight paths and identify the best path if an obstacle blocks its way. Commonly, weighted sums are used here. This work shows that weighted Chebyshev distances and factorial achievement scalarising functions are suitable alternatives to weighted sums if combined with the 3DVFH* local path planning algorithm. Both methods considerably reduce the failure probability of simulated flights in various environments. The standard 3DVFH* uses a weighted sum and has a failure probability of 50% in the test environments. A factorial achievement scalarising function, which minimises the worst combination of two out of four objective functions, reaches a failure probability of 26%; A weighted Chebyshev distance, which optimises the worst objective, has a failure probability of 30%. These results show promise for further enhancements and to support broader applicability.
Subtilisins from microbial sources, especially from the Bacillaceae family, are of particular interest for biotechnological applications and serve the currently growing enzyme market as efficient and novel biocatalysts. Biotechnological applications include use in detergents, cosmetics, leather processing, wastewater treatment and pharmaceuticals. To identify a possible candidate for the enzyme market, here we cloned the gene of the subtilisin SPFA from Fictibacillus arsenicus DSM 15822ᵀ (obtained through a data mining-based search) and expressed it in Bacillus subtilis DB104. After production and purification, the protease showed a molecular mass of 27.57 kDa and a pI of 5.8. SPFA displayed hydrolytic activity at a temperature optimum of 80 °C and a very broad pH optimum between 8.5 and 11.5, with high activity up to pH 12.5. SPFA displayed no NaCl dependence but a high NaCl tolerance, with decreasing activity up to concentrations of 5 m NaCl. The stability enhanced with increasing NaCl concentration. Based on its substrate preference for 10 synthetic peptide 4-nitroanilide substrates with three or four amino acids and its phylogenetic classification, SPFA can be assigned to the subgroup of true subtilisins. Moreover, SPFA exhibited high tolerance to 5% (w/v) SDS and 5% H₂O₂ (v/v). The biochemical properties of SPFA, especially its tolerance of remarkably high pH, SDS and H₂O₂, suggest it has potential for biotechnological applications.
Ambitious climate targets affect the competitiveness of industries in the international market. To prevent such industries from moving to other countries in the wake of increased climate protection efforts, cost adjustments may become necessary. Their design requires knowledge of country-specific production costs. Here, we present country-specific cost figures for different production routes of steel, paying particular attention to transportation costs. The data can be used in floor price models aiming to assess the competitiveness of different steel production routes in different countries (Rübbelke, 2022).
Deammonification for nitrogen removal in municipal wastewater in temperate and cold climate zones is currently limited to the side stream of municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWWTP). This study developed a conceptual model of a mainstream deammonification plant, designed for 30,000 P.E., considering possible solutions corresponding to the challenging mainstream conditions in Germany. In addition, the energy-saving potential, nitrogen elimination performance and construction-related costs of mainstream deammonification were compared to a conventional plant model, having a single-stage activated sludge process with upstream denitrification. The results revealed that an additional treatment step by combining chemical precipitation and ultra-fine screening is advantageous prior the mainstream deammonification. Hereby chemical oxygen demand (COD) can be reduced by 80% so that the COD:N ratio can be reduced from 12 to 2.5. Laboratory experiments testing mainstream conditions of temperature (8–20°C), pH (6–9) and COD:N ratio (1–6) showed an achievable volumetric nitrogen removal rate (VNRR) of at least 50 gN/(m3∙d) for various deammonifying sludges from side stream deammonification systems in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, where m3 denotes reactor volume. Assuming a retained Norganic content of 0.0035 kgNorg./(P.E.∙d) from the daily loads of N at carbon removal stage and a VNRR of 50 gN/(m3∙d) under mainstream conditions, a resident-specific reactor volume of 0.115 m3/(P.E.) is required for mainstream deammonification. This is in the same order of magnitude as the conventional activated sludge process, i.e., 0.173 m3/(P.E.) for an MWWTP of size class of 4. The conventional plant model yielded a total specific electricity demand of 35 kWh/(P.E.∙a) for the operation of the whole MWWTP and an energy recovery potential of 15.8 kWh/(P.E.∙a) through anaerobic digestion. In contrast, the developed mainstream deammonification model plant would require only a 21.5 kWh/(P.E.∙a) energy demand and result in 24 kWh/(P.E.∙a) energy recovery potential, enabling the mainstream deammonification model plant to be self-sufficient. The retrofitting costs for the implementation of mainstream deammonification in existing conventional MWWTPs are nearly negligible as the existing units like activated sludge reactors, aerators and monitoring technology are reusable. However, the mainstream deammonification must meet the performance requirement of VNRR of about 50 gN/(m3∙d) in this case.

FLOWCEAN QI basiert gestalterisch auf eine antike japanische Philosophie namens „Kintsugi“. Nach der japanischen Philosophie Kintsugi werden zerbrochene Teegläser wiederzusammengeklebt statt weggeworfen. Die in Teile getrennten Elemente werden glatt und geschmeidig wieder zusammengefügt. Sie formen ein neues Ganzes, dass die Schönheit des Originals meist übertrifft. Die Ästhetik hinter „Kintsugi“ nennt man „Wabi-Sabi“. Es bedeutet, die Schönheit im Vergänglichen, Alten oder Fehlerhaften zu verstehen. Die Philosophie dahinter wird metaphorisch auf das Design abgebildet und auf unsere Gesundheit übertragen. Statt letztere zu ignorieren, schenken wir ihr unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit. Ziel der Produkte ist, uns stets an sie zu erinnern, sodass wir täglich an unserem Wohlbefinden arbeiten können.
