ADP Fluid Mechanics

In the Advanced Design Project (ADP) Fluid Dynamics, students work in groups on scientific problems related to fluid mechanics. The focus is on numerical simulations, the investigation of physical flow phenomena, and the development and application of numerical methods. All offered topics are relevant to both Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering and can be undertaken as an ADP in either degree programme.

General Information

  • Degree programmes: Mechanical and Process Engineering and Aerospace Engineering
  • Format: Advanced Design Project (ADP), 6 CP
  • Group size: 4–7 students
  • Language: German or English
  • Start: After group formation and by arrangement
  • Type of work: Primarily numerical, computational and theoretical
  • Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and numerical methods is helpful.

Topics and Organisation

The assignments are based on current research activities, including CFD, turbulence, boundary layer flows, multiphase flows and numerical methods.

Students work in groups with regular supervision meetings. The results are documented in a final written report and presented.
