A Virtual Bubble Playground

In a live simulation, you can watch how gas bubbles move through a liquid. While the simulation is running, different settings can be changed, and you can immediately see what happens. This makes it possible to explore the behavior of the bubbles in a playful way. The same simulation technique is also used by engineers to design and improve real industrial systems.

This event will take place at HTW.

Description

Very often, the little things cause the highest demands and challenges for scientist. A good example of this are bubbles, such as air bubbles in water, whose complex physics pose a great challenge. Although, bubbles are widely used to improve technical processes or to make them possible in the first place. One way to gain deep insight into the bubble dynamics are numerical simulations, for which the biggest high performance computers are required. At the exhibition booth, we offer the possibility to discuss with the scientists about the fundamental physics of gas bubbles, simulation methods and newest findings. As a highlight, it is possible to live change the parameters of a running simulation to playfully influence the behaviour of the bubbles in the flow.

Using extreme laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics

DALI has the potential to become a globally unique, high-field radiation source based on accelerated electrons for intense terahertz radiation. Its purpose: the experimental investigation and control of materials on ultrafast timescales. In this introductory lecture, we will explain how we are using these ultrafast laser pulses to search for the “flying horses” of quantum physics.

This event will take place at HTW.

A Visual Journey Through Magnetohydrodynamics

A Clear Introduction to Magnetohydrodynamics: How do flowing liquids and gases interact with magnetic fields? In addition to technical applications, the topic addresses the question of where the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields come from. At HZDR, we are conducting experimental research on this dynamo process using the large-scale research facility DRESDYN.

This event will take place at HTW.
