This dataset was generated by Pauline Rothmann-Brumm (2023) as part of her dissertation at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany.

Title of the dissertation: Visualisierung, Analyse und Modellierung von fluiddynamischen Musterbildungsphänomenen im Zylinderspalt unter Anwendung von Maschinellem Lernen (German) / Visualization, analysis and modeling of fluid dynamic pattern formation phenomena in the cylinder gap using machine learning (English translation)

This dataset contains technical drawings as well as 3D-models in STEP-format (STEP - Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) for the main parts of the optically accessible substrate carrier, which is used within the gravure printing research platform developed by Pauline Rothmann-Brumm as part of her dissertation (2023). The gravure printing research platform is an optimized, extended version of the machine designed by Schäfer (2020) (https://doi.org/10.25534/tuprints-00014204).

The optically accessible substrate carrier allows optical access to the printing nip, which is the line of contact between the engraved printing cylinder and the impression roller. This means that hydrodynamic pattern formation phenomena during fluid transfer can be visualized in situ using a high speed camera. Exemplary high speed videos, recorded with the gravure printing research platform, can be found in the GRAFI-r (https://tudatalib.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/handle/tudatalib/3842) and GRAFI-p (https://tudatalib.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/handle/tudatalib/3848) datasets.
