Course summary
This pioneering course has been taught here at the University for almost 40 years. Today, we continue to provide the training and education needed for thermofluid engineers to adapt and prepare for the everchanging demands of the modern world.
Whether you're a recent engineering or science graduate, someone looking to transition from closely related disciplines like Mechanics, Mathematics, or Physics, or a professional looking to not only enhance their expertise in thermofluids but develop skills in analytical, computational, and experimental methods, this course is carefully designed to nurture your potential. The advanced methods taught on this course for the analysis of heat and fluid flow are sought-after in both industrial and research applications.
The objectives of this course are to produce postgraduate specialists with:
-
An advanced understanding of heat and fluid flow processes and their role in modern methods of power generation
-
An in-depth understanding of numerical and experimental techniques in heat and fluid flow
Teaching on the course is delivered by academics from our world-leading research group in the field of turbulence modelling and heat transfer.
