Industrial Fluid Mechanics - Specialization

The following study plan assumes start of study in September, such that 1. semester is fall, 2. semester is spring, 3. semester is fall and the thesis work is carried out in spring. It includes only one spring semester of courses.

The study plan is not mandatory but is a recommended study plan that fulfills the requirements. All other study plans also have to fulfill the requirements, including maximum 2 years of study for obtaining 120 ECTS.

The discipline focuses on addressing practical industrial flow problems using classical physics, applied mathematics, and numerical and experimental methods. The approach is, on the one hand, purely theoretical by formulating and applying mathematical models to the problems and solving them using computers and, on the other hand, purely experimental by studying and measuring flows in order to verify and improve the applied models.

Industrial Fluid Mechanics

Solving practical industrial flow problems using classical physics, applied mathematics, numerical methods and experimental methods. The approach is, in part, purely theoretical by formulating and applying mathematical models to problems and solving them using computers and, in part, purely experimental in studying and measuring flows to verify and improve the applied models.

All mandatory courses under the polytechnic foundation and programme specific courses in the curriculum must be completed, in addition, the following must be fulfilled:

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
