Fluid dynamics

The Fluid Dynamics Group within the Department of Engineering Science conducts internationally-recognised research in a number of different areas, which include:

• petroleum engineering
• geothermal fluid dynamics
• microfluidics
• acoustics, turbulence
• convection in porous media
• biofluid dynamics
• environmental fluid dynamics.

The group is committed to advancing our understanding of flow phenomena through mathematical, computational and experimental means, and applying that knowledge in beneficial ways through close contact with industrial partners.
