Professor Hans-Jakob Kaltenbach's research interests focus on active and passive flow control methods aimed at improving the properties of technical systems in transportation, energy conversion, and process technology. His work emphasizes enhancing safety, efficiency, and minimizing environmental impact. He employs high-resolution numerical approaches, including Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES), complemented by wind tunnel experiments, to analyze flow dynamics, identify sources of aeroacoustic noise, and predict sound propagation. Professor Kaltenbach studied at the University of Karlsruhe and the Technical University of Munich, where he earned his first degree in process engineering. He received his doctoral degree in 1992 with a thesis on atmospheric physics and spent several years as a research fellow at the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford University. In 2004, he worked as a research assistant at TU Berlin, contributing to a team focused on flow control. He joined the Technical University of Munich in 2011 and has held positions in R&D departments of various companies in the transportation and process engineering sectors.
