Introduction of the Research Group
Our research group is interested in all fields of thermodynamics, starting from the classical thermostatics tot he modern non-equilibrium thermodynamical approaches. In our research, we focus on both experimental and theoretical aspects.
The research group has a comprehensive view and experience in heat conduction and rheological experiments. In regard to the heat conduction experiments, the group concentrate on investigating the thermal behaviour of heterogeneous materials. In case of rheology, the research group is experienced in the thermo-mechanical modelling of rocks.
Regarding the theoretical investigations, our focus is placed on the development of analytical and numerical solutions, together with analyzing various thermodynamic approaches. In that case, the research group has an extensive knowledge in deriving thermodynamically consistent models, and providing phenomenon-centric, reliable solutions.
Achievements
-Development of practically important thermodynamic background.-Experimental observation and modelling of heat conduction beyond Fourier.
-Efficient description of rheological solids.
-Development of thermodynamics-based analytical and numerical solution methods.
