Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim of the training programme is to introduce students to modern developments in fluid dynamics and give them a background in theoretical, experimental, and computational work. On successful completion of the training programme students will have been exposed to a range of subjects covering incompressible and compressible fluid flows, laminar and turbulent boundary layers, turbulence modelling, wave mechanics including acoustics and shallow water flows, non-Newtonian fluids, environmental and geophysical flows, and computational fluid dynamics. Students will also learn to use asymptotic techniques, and computational techniques involving code writing as well as using packages for solving fluid flow problems. From the experimental part of the programme students will have some familiarity with experimental techniques and methodologies, and be able to perform simple experiments. Part of the training involves exposure to IT packages as well as training in personal transferable skills.
