<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">The measurement of flow velocities in hot and aggressive liquids like metal melts and molten glass is one of the grand challenges of industrial
fluid mechanics. A physically closely related challenge is the detection of deeply lying flaws and inhomogeneities in electrically conducting solid materials. Since 2004, scientists and engineers at Technische Universität Ilmenau have been developing two novel
technologies termed Lorentz force velocimetry and Lorentz force eddy current testing to meet these challenges. Both technologies are based on measuring the Lorentz forces that are induced by the interaction of electrically conducting moving substances and
magnetic fields. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

shall be explored by performing high-precision model experiments, high-resolution numerical simulations, and intense analytical modeling. The RTG provides a creative and inspiring environment, excellent laboratory facilities, state-of-the-art scientific computing
facilities, and the possibility of collaborating with industry and with foreign institutions. The RTG strongly supports students wishing complete their PhD studies within a three-year period. The abstracts of the 12 planned projects (third PhD-generation)
and further details can be found at http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/lorentz-force/rtg-research/.
