Turbulence Master

This program goes back up to the highly successful International Masters in Computational and Experimental Turbulence of Chalmers Technical University directed by Prof. W.K. Geoges in Gothenburg, Sweden between 2003 and 2008. The objective is still to introduce the important concepts and methodologies at the earliest possible level, thus preparing the student for a knowledge-based entry into the real world, either in industry or further academic studies. Moreover, contrary to the suggestion that students may be too specialized too early, the large scope of disciplines that must be harnessed to address the turbulence problem and turbulent flows is extremely broad as is the range of industrial applications where turbulent flows are a decisive factor. As a consequence, our graduates have shown themselves to be remarkably adapt at contributing to a wide variety of even non-fluids disciplines. The program has already trained hundreds of faculty members and researchers in prestigious universities and industries.

The students will acquire theoretical, numerical and experimental skills essential for the understanding, modeling and control of turbulent flows and needed to address modern application challenges in a vast range of areas where turbulent flows are key including aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, chemical,  biochemical and process engineering, environmental and urban engineering, naval engineering, turbomachinery, renewable energy, meteorology etc. This masters course offers training of the highest international standard supported by the latest research developments from internationally leading research institutions in France. The fundamental concepts of turbulence theory are taught together with advanced, state-of-the-art computational and experimental methodologies, so the student not only gains an understanding of all three, but learns how they can be used together and applied broadly. The goal is to prepare students to directly apply the acquired skills and knowledge to a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines where turbulent flows are a limiting factor.
