Institute for Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics
Research
The research portfolio at the Institute for Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics can be divided into three main topical groups:
- Dynamics of drops and sprays
- Flow control and unsteady aerodynamics
- Modelling and simulation of turbulent flows
whereby a strong interaction among experimental, theoretical and numerical investigative methods is present in almost all individual projects. In all research projects, whether fundamental or applied in nature, a strong emphasis is placed on a solid understanding of the underlying flow physics involved. Where necessary and appropriate, new methodologies are developed, be it measurement technologies, turbulence modelling, or analytical methods.
Teaching
Please find an overview of SLA courses here.
Locations
The Institute has two locations: Lichtwiese Campus (L2|06) and the wind tunnel premises in close proximity to the August-Euler-Airfield in Griesheim.

Short Course on Atomization and Sprays 2019
25-28 February 2019 in Darmstadt, Germany
After the great success of four previous Short Courses on Atomization and Sprays, a fifth edition will be held from 25-28 February 2019 at the TU Darmstadt. The course presents the current understanding and state-of-the-art of atomization fundamentals, their realization in atomizer systems and their application in a wide variety of engineering branches, including spray drying, spray coating, spray cooling, fuel injection, etc. go
