Fluids Engineering

This Specialist Group is responsible for holding courses in fluids engineering in our department. The Group is organized into two sections: general fluids engineering, located in the Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, and hydraulic turbo-machines, fluid power and pneumatics, located in the Waterpower Laboratory.

Our goals:

• To be the main Specialist Group teaching general fluids engineering at NTNU.

• To be the centre of know-how on fluids engineering for both Norwegian and international industry.

• To perform research work at a high international level within our specialist field.

• To communicate our research results both to students and the surrounding world through international publications.

Our main activities:

• Hydraulic turbo machines
• Fluid power and pneumatic
• Aero- and gas dynamics
• Multiphase flows
• Micro-fluid dynamics
• Numerical flow calculations
• Fluid mechanics
• Turbulence physics
