Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg; Lehrstuhl für Strömungsmechanik

The core competencies of the Chair of Fluid Mechanics are specific experiences with a wide range of flowable media. Among which

• air, water, and oil in gas and fluid dynamics,
• reactive materials in combustion engineering,
• viscoelastic and electrorheological matter
.
• as well as dispersions in rheology,
• coating dynamics,
• Particle engineering,
• High pressure thermofluid dynamics,
• biotechnological substances in biotechnology and wastewater technology,
• fluidic foods in food technology and brewing, and
• pharmaceutical and human biological substances in pharmaceutical technology and human medicine including human sensor technology belong.

We derive a special motivation from the fulfillment of excellence in basic and application-oriented research, as demanded of us by our global partners in research institutes, industry, and SMEs.

The Chair of Fluid Mechanics conducts theoretical, numerical, and experimental fluid dynamics investigations. For this purpose, modern research facilities, computer programs and powerful workstations are available for investigations in basic and applied research as well as for development. For the calculation of laminar and turbulent flows of single and multiphase media in complex geometries, which  are associated with heat and mass transfer processes, the chair is equipped with parallel computers.
