1.7.2 FLUID DYNAMICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The Fluid Dynamics Research Institute was founded to foster inter-departmental and inter-College research and postgraduate teaching related to the dynamics of fluids. Members conduct basic and applied research, and are committed to providing a broad training for graduate students in all aspects of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Members are drawn from Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Applied Mathematics. Research ranges from theoretical studies on stability and exact solutions to enhancement of flow measurement techniques to implementation of commercial computer codes and development of new codes for industrial problems. Application areas include environmental engineering, the automotive, defence and petroleum industries, biomechanics and aeronautics.

Graduate students affiliated with Institute members in their research projects will register in the member's department and complete the degree requirements of that department.
