معرفی
Manuel Keßler is an apl. Prof. Dr. and Adjunct Professor at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics, serving as Deputy Head of the Institute and Head of the Helicopters and Aeroacoustics working group. His research focuses on Helicopter Aeromechanics, Aeroacoustics, and High-Fidelity CFD Simulations. He leads projects involving rotorcraft noise reduction, computational fluid dynamics validation, and advanced simulation frameworks like the FLOWer solver. His work integrates experimental and numerical methods, with applications in compound helicopters (e.g., Airbus Helicopters' RACER), eVTOL systems (Volocopter), and distributed propulsion demonstrators.
Keßler's technical expertise includes programming in C++, Python, and various assemblers, alongside experience with microcontroller systems (AVR, ARM7, etc.). He oversees the Institute's HPC-cluster (Prandtl) and teaches courses on Fluid Mechanics, Aeroacoustics, and programming optimization. His research spans rotor-fuselage interactions, dynamic stall mitigation, and aeroelastic phenomena, with a strong emphasis on validating numerical models against flight-test data.
Notable contributions include numerical investigations of noise sources in distributed propulsion systems, CFD simulations of rotorcraft in ground effect, and aeroacoustic studies of counter-rotating open rotors. His interdisciplinary approach bridges computational methods with real-world engineering challenges, advancing rotorcraft design and noise mitigation strategies.
