Experimental Fluid Dynamics research group

Dept. of Energy and Process Engineering

The Experimental Fluid Dynamics research group at Dept. of Energy and Process Engineering is primarily involved with experimental aspects of incompressible flows. The group has at its disposal a laboratory which is unique on a national scale and which has facilities comparable to those found at high standard research institutions internationally. The activity is divided between fundamental and applied studies. The fundamental studies are mainly concerned with various aspects of turbulence research, whereas the applied research covers a large range of problems suitable for wind- or water-tunnel studies.

The group is well equipped with up to date experimental facilities and advanced instrumentation.

The group consists currently of two staff, five Ph.D. students and one post doctor. The experimental activities are jointly headed by
