Applied Physics - Mastertrack Physics of Fluids and Flows Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Overview

What makes fluid dynamics unique is its extraordinary scope, spanning scales from the nanoworld to cosmic dimensions. These scales are intrinsically coupled, resulting in a rich set of nonlinear phenomena that, as of today, remain only partially understood. This multi-scale approach sets the Applied Physics - Mastertrack Physics of Fluids and Flows programme from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)  part from more traditional programmes. You will explore, for example, turbulence, multiphase flows, geophysical flows, flows in porous media, nano and microfluidics, and active fluids.
