In the graduate school of Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics, you as a doctoral student develop your knowledge both through theory and applications in the field.

In the theoretical aspects, it is mainly about developing your knowledge in turbulence modeling and multiphase flow. In the technical context, it is mainly about heat transfer, vehicle aerodynamics, turbo engines and internal combustion engines. 

The goal of the graduate school is to give you as a doctoral student an in-depth knowledge of fluid mechanics, turbulence and heat transfer with associated applications both through the use of numerical and experimental methods. 

​The graduate school is organised within the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences.
