Interactive CFD
Interactive CFD. This simple tool solves the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using a conventional projection method on a staggered mesh (no stream-function vorticity method). Objects can be drawn, scaled, moved or removed interactively. For teaching purposes, discretization schemes for the advection term can be changed to visually investigate their effect on the flow field. For more info, please feel free to contact me. Summer project 2018.
Solar Stirling engine
Instead of burning alcohol to power a Stirling engine, we run it on solar energy! We placed a metal foam inside the transparent piston, which catches the concentrated sun light through a lens, bathroom mirrors, etc. Summer project 2015.
Virtual reality visualization of CFD data
Virtual reality visualization of turbulent structures inside a duct flow. January 2015
- Get the Google Cardboard, or make your own (see images above)
- A smartphone that supports WebGL
- Write a Java-Script based application using Three.js that will run within your browser.
- Get some data from your simulations to visualize!
How does it work
- Lenses with a focal length of 45 mm allow you to use the smartphone close to your face and still see sharp images.
- The smartphone displays images for the left and the right eye on a horizontally split screen using a stereoscopic mode.
- The human brain does the rest!
Astronomy
Star gazing with Prof. Jakob Woisetschläger, and some pictures taken in California (2009) with a 90mm refractor (f/10) and a Canon Rebel XTi SLR.
