Among five strong nominated projects within the field of applied industrial fluid dynamics, it was master student Marcin Piotr Serdeczny who won the prestigious DANSIS graduate award for the best MS thesis project: "Infusion Flow in Composites Processes"
On October 4th 2017, Marcin Piotr Serdeczny, former Master student at DTU Wind Energy recieved the DANSIS Award.
The Master thesis handed in by Marcin Serdeczny was compared to four other strong nominated projects within the field of applied industrial fluid dynamics. Assoc. Prof. Knud Erik Meyer alongside the award committee selected Marcin Serdecznys thesis as the best project.
Knud E. Meyer describes the choice of Marcin Serdecznys master:
“The novelty, complex nature of the combined experimental and numerical modeling made the project the strongest.”
About the project
The project, suggested by Allan Gersborg from LM Wind Power, included experimental investigation of the distributed pressure development in a composite stack during vacuum infusion process.
Furthermore, the experiment was modelled numerically including the non-linear evolution of the process, although characterized as a laminar low Reynolds number type of flow.
“Precise modelling is essential of these types of flows for a company like LM Wind Power” says Allan “in order to make competitive wind turbine blades both in terms of quality and cycle time”.
Since his Master defense, Marcin Serdeczny has started his PhD study involving thermofluid mechanics of 3D printing processes at DTU Mechanical Engineering.
