The University of Sydney - Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering

Sydney University Fluid Dynamics Group.

Mission :

Investigate, analyse, simulate and discover the behaviour of fluid motion on its many different levels. Applications undertaken cover ranges of Reynolds No, Mach No, Knudsen No, Weber No; fluid properties cover Newtonian, non-Newtonian, multiphase, continuum and rarefied; solution methods cover experiment, CFD, DSMC and analytical processes.

Promote the dissemination of discoveries and expand the knowledge of fluid dynamics for all levels, researchers, students and the general public.
