Research Topics

The department of Applied aerodynamics can provide a wide variety of laboratory and field work in the areas of applied research, innovation and technical assistance, since fluid mechanics is involved in almost all industrial sectors. The department has gained vast experience with industrial problems in areas as varied as:

  • Machine manufacturing and operating processes involving fluid mechanics
  • Ventilation, smoke removal, dust collecting and removal
  • Heating, cooling, drying, heat exchanges
  • Aerodynamics, hydraulics, aeraulics, networks of circuits and systems
  • flow measurements and vizualisations, etc.
