The GREGOR telescope was inaugurated in 2012. In 2018, we started a complete upgrade, involving optics, alignment, instrumentation, mechanical upgrades for vibration reduction, updated control systems, and building enhancements and, addition, adapted management policies. This paper describes all major updates performed during this time. Since 2012, powered mirrors except M1 were exchanged. Starting from 2020, observes with diffraction-limited performance new optics instrument layout.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is one of the standard tools for stratified materials and widely applied investigation electronics coatings. The composition thickness layers can be determined quantitatively non-destructively. Recent work showed that these capabilities extended towards retrieving stratigraphic information like concentration depth profiles using angle-resolved XRF (ARXRF). This paper introduces an experimental sample chamber which was developed as a multi-purpose tool...
A combined numerical and experimental study is carried out to investigate the capability of sinusoidal riblet patterns reduce turbulent drag. In contrast conventional straight riblets, riblets are able induce a small amount lateral motion in ow. Therefore, they thought emulate eect wall oscillations hence achieve higher reduction drag than riblets. This parameter shows that velocity successfully induced. Positive eects geometric amplitudes weak could not be determined outside uncertainty...
This paper presents the optimal design of an active flow control mechanism for industry relevant complex high-lift configuration. To flow, a large number synthetic jet actuators are placed on wing and flap faces.

A novel approach using laterally oscillating riblets is investigated to reduce the turbulent drag of wall-bounded flows. The new method intended combine eect wellknown stationary with strong lateral wall-oscillations. Experimental investigations in this study show only minor eects for parameters investigated. DNS results demonstrate that secondary flow induced by riblet motion has a influence on amount reduction. not straightforward since stronger oscillations can lead higher under certain...
This paper presents the development of an accurate and robust discrete adjoint approach for optimization active flow control mechanism. The solver is developed by applying algorithmic differentiation techniques to incompressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solver. Coupled with a quasi-Newton gradient-search algorithm, its applicability demonstrated finding optimal synthetic jet actuation on suction side NACA 4412 airfoil at Reynolds number angle incidence 20 deg.

Abstract A first series of nitrogen infusion runs 1.3 GHz single-cell cavities at DESY resulted in an unexpected and severe deterioration observed during the vertical cold test. To investigate origin deterioration, one underwent extensive radio-frequency measurements a temperature- magnetic field-mapping was performed collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. After combining all results, regions interests were identified cut-out cavity. Subsequent surface analysis techniques (EBSD, PALS,...
Active flow control techniques are used to delay or prevent the turbulent separation on flap of a high-lift configuration. Effective and thus lift enhancement can be achieved by finding optimal set actuation parameters, which may in very large number. In this paper, consistent unsteady discrete adjoint RANS solver three-dimensions is developed towards objective parameters. The code applied sensitivity analysis practically relevant three-dimensional sensitivities with respect parameters based...

Blade-shaped riblets are tilted sinusoidally at specific frequencies to reduce turbulent friction drag.

Many modern accelerators rely on superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities to accelerate particles. When these are cooled the state, a fraction of ambient magnetic field (e.g., Earth’s field) may be trapped in superconductor. This flux can significantly increase power dissipation SRF cavities. It is, therefore, crucial understand underlying mechanism how is and what treatments operating conditions reduce flux-trapping efficiency. A new experiment was designed that enables systemic...
