Dr. Max Hausmann is awarded the dissertation prize of the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg
Dr. Max Hausmann from the Chair of Mechanical Process Engineering at the University of Magdeburg has been awarded a prize for his dissertation. His work was supervised by CDS member Prof. Dr. Berend van Wachem. In his dissertation, Dr. Hausmann focused on the computer-aided modeling of turbulent, particle-laden flows. This phenomenon is something we encounter constantly in everyday life – for example, when we exhale, when smoke rises from a chimney, or when we look at the weather forecast.
