Course content

The student will do an in-depth project in fundamental or applied thermo- and/or fluid dynamics, on a contemporary research topic. Although the projects will be supervised, they are expected to work independently. The research project will generally fall within one or more of the following areas:

  • turbulent flow and aerodynamics (e.g., boundary layers, wind turbines, aero foils, racing cars)
  • reacting flows/thermal energy (e.g., turbulent combustion, e-fuels, biomass)
  • multi-phase flows (e.g., flows with droplets, bubbles and particles)
  • internal flows (e.g., flows in channels and pipes)
  • external flow (e.g., flow over turbine blades, bluff body flows and wakes)
  • methods for computational fluid dynamics
  • interfacial flows and waves
  • heat and mass transfer

The main supervisor for the project should be among the listed course teachers, or affiliated with the thermo-fluids research group.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: After completion of this subject the student will have specialist knowledge of a research-relevant topic in one or more of the following fields: general fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, wind turbines, computational fluid dynamics, experimental fluid dynamics, multiphase flows.

Skills: After completion of this subject the student will have these skills: Ability to plan and execute a research project, including acquiring background knowledge and literature, formulating a research question and research objectives, identify the specific methods, techniques, software or tools to be used, and adequately master these, perform scientific and technical analysis of an advanced problem, critically assess the reliability of data produced by the student or others, identify sources of error, discuss uncertainties in results and conclusions, and how to present their work both in oral presentation and in a project report.

General competence: Discussing and solving scientific and technical problems as well as formal reporting on achieved results within analyses, design and operation of thermo-fluids engineering components and systems.

Learning methods and activities

Independent project work with supervision.

Compulsory activity: oral presentation.

Required previous knowledge
