From 1995 till 1998 I worked together with Kupplungswerk Dresden, the
Institut
für Werkzeugmaschinen und Fluidtechnik of Dresden
University of Technology, the Institut
für Elektrotechnik of Hochschule
für Technik und Wirtschaft Dresden
in order to develop electro-and magnetorheological
clutches. The project was sponsored by the Saxon Statesministry
for Science and Culture within the frame of the Landesinnovationskolleg.
It served to develop new, innovative and marketable products for Saxon
companies. In the frame of this project the following Materials
Database on
commercially availableElectro- and Magnetorheological
Fluids (ERF and MRF) (a little
bit outdated) was prepared.
Subsequently untill 2000 I made research within the Subproject
D-1 'MRF-Flowsimulation' of the Innovationskolleg
'Magnetohydrodynamics of Electrically Conducting Fluids'.
My publications
concerning this subject you can find here.
In the literature one can find sometimes the equation
for the flow rate of Bingham-fluids through a channel. But I never found
the derivation of this equation. Because I once needed this derivation,
I thought it might also be of interest as an exercise for students in fluid
mechanics. Therefore I wrote my derivation in a readable manner and asked
our student Mr. Boris Messerschmidt to prepare it for the web.
In case there is really somebody using it as an exercise, I would be
happy to be notified (also
if somebody finds an error).

At a university there are besides working on the research
project various other interesting thing to do;- like beeing a mentor for
9th grade pupils of a Dresden highschool (gymnasium) during their two weeks
practical at our institute. At the end Thomas Neumann made some web
pages about it.
