The Institute explores applications in a wide range of fields where often an object interacts with a surrounding fluid flow. Applications include aircraft, spacecraft, uncrewed aerial vehicles, road vehicles, as well as clean-energy systems, and bioengineering. We endeavor to cover a broad spectrum of physical phenomena, from the very smallest biological scales up to the very largest aircraft or reentry vehicles.
The Institute contributes to both Bachelor and Master's study programs of TU Braunschweig. We offer comprehensive courses in the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, taking a deep insight on fundamental processes, such as laminar and turbulent flows, aerodynamic theory and experimental methods.
"We conduct research at the interfaces between experimental fluid dynamics, novel sensing, robust modelling and data assimilation, with applications in, for instance, the aerospace, automotive and energy sectors."
