From droplets and microfluidics to ocean currents and climate systems, fluids are everywhere. The Physics of Fluids and Flows specialization focuses on the physical principles governing (complex) fluids and their flows. Mastering the behavior of fluids is crucial to tackling some of today鈥檚 most pressing societal challenges, from climate change, flood management, and sustainable food production to the energy transition, healthcare innovations, and high-tech manufacturing.

What makes fluid dynamics unique is its extraordinary scope, spanning scales from the nanoworld to cosmic dimensions. These scales are intrinsically coupled, resulting in a rich set of nonlinear phenomena that, as of today, remain only partially understood. This multi-scale approach sets the specialization apart from more traditional programmes.

Why choose this specialization?

• It offer a unique multi-scale approach to fluid dynamics, ranging from the nanoworld to cosmic dimensions.
• Explore fluid flows across an extraordinary range of scales, from nanofluidics to geophysical and even cosmic flows.
• Discover fascinating phenomena such as turbulence, multiphase flows, porous media, micro- and nanofluidics, and active fluids.
• Learn how fluid dynamics contributes to solutions for major societal challenges in climate, energy, healthcare, sustainable food production, and high-tech manufacturing.

What will I learn and do?

You learn how to understand, predict, and control fluid flows using theory, numerical simulations, and experiments. Depending on your elective courses and graduation project, you can specialise in topics that match your interests and career ambitions.

You become part of a research environment that combines cutting-edge experimental techniques, advanced computational methods, and theory development to analyse and solve real-world problems in science, society, and the high-tech industry. Along the way, you strengthen your analytical, modelling, and scientific communication skills, preparing you for careers in academia, research institutes, industry, or for continuing with a PhD.
