Institute of Fluid Mechanics

Welcome to the Institute of Fluid Mechanics

The ISM explores applications in a wide range of fields in which an object interacts with a fluid flow. High-impact applications include aircraft, spacecraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and road vehicles, as well as energy systems, renewable energy and bioengineering. We endeavor to cover a broad spectrum of physical phenomena, from the 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."
