The Master's program in Fluid Dynamics and Energetics aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of both fundamental principles and their practical applications in the fields of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. A strong emphasis is placed on acquiring skills in the use of numerical and experimental tools currently employed in research and industry environments.
The primary goal of the program is to enable students to gain advanced knowledge in the specialization, allowing them to integrate into research teams in both fundamental and applied domains. The training program, which spreads over two academic years, is designed to meet the needs of university research laboratories and the research and development departments of companies in the industrial sector.
The curriculum allows for a connection between transfer phenomena and fluid dynamics on one hand, and encompasses experimental, theoretical, and numerical approaches on the other hand. Particular emphasis is placed on thermodynamics and on mathematical techniques applied to the field.
Fluid mechanics and heat transfer play a central role in many professional areas related to major societal challenges such as energy efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources. These issues are critical in sectors such as transportation (aerospace, automotive), the exploitation of fossil (oil) and renewable (wind, tidal) energies, the construction industry, as well as in industrial processes (e.g., agri-food). Furthermore, beyond these challenges, fluid mechanics is a highly dynamic field of fundamental research with implications in earth sciences, astrophysics, and life sciences.
