Course Details

Objectives: This Fluid Mechanics Year 2 Master’s program offers an overall teaching experience covering the main active research domains in fluid mechanics. The first semester is dedicated to lectures in fundamental and theoretical fluid mechanics as well as numerical and experimental aspects, plus, possibly, a short research project. The second part of the year consists in an internship either in academic or industrial laboratories.

3 ECTS per lectures, 10 lectures to choose among the following list with the possibility to exchange few lectures with other lectures from the master. Written or project exams.

Active matter & mobility
Advanced experimental methods: fluid
Computational mechanics: fluids
Frontiers in fluid mechanics
Geophysical flows & waves
Instabilities
Interfaces/microfluidics
Magnetohydrodynamics
Theoretical fluid mechanics
Turbulence
Introductory research project

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Targeted careers : This program opens up a wide range of career opportunities. Most students pursue a PhD in an academic or industrial laboratory, while others directly join the research and development team of a private company.
