Our mission is to gain fundamental knowledge about turbulent incompressible and compressible, single and multiphase flows through numerical and experimental research. We develop new and improved computational and experimental techniques for the study of such flows in both fundamental and real-world environments.
Our applied research is carried out in close cooperation with industry, both in national and in international projects.
A large part of our teaching activity is carried out within our International Master's programme in Applied Mechanics and Mobility Engineering (Aerospace track). In these programs, we offer courses covering a wide range of topics, including turbulence modelling, experimental fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multiphase flow, heat transfer, turbomachinery, aerospace propulsion, aircraft design, and aerospace projects including drone technology.

Our research areas
Drones
Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) are an emerging to a range of industrial and societal challenges.
Hydropower
Research on fluid dynamics in hydropower applications.
Insect flight
Assistant Professor Arion Pons tries to understand insect flight performance by taking data from many different experiments.
Laboratory of fluids and thermal science
A world-class lab with a complete set of hardware resources for leading-edge experimental research in fluid dynamics and heat transfer.
Turbomachinery and Aeroacoustics
Research on turbomachinery applications, in particular for aero engine applications.
Turbulence modeling
Research focusing on the calculation of fluid flow and heat convective transfer using finite volume calculations.
Multiphase flows
The multiphase research groups specialize in advanced modeling and numerical simulations of a great range of fundamental and industrially relevant problems in the field of multiphase flows. Multiphase flows, understood as any flow situation in which there is a simultaneous presence of multiple phases (gas, liquid or solid) in a domain of interest, exist in a great number of natural and technological systems.
Presentations of our research
