ut Computational  Fluid
Dynamics  Laboratory


Welcome to the website for the UT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Laboratory, an Engineering Science graduate program focus in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering (MABE). Herein you will find detailed information on the various components in this graduate program, including current research projects of the faculty and graduate students. It outlines as well our vision of the exciting challenges, hence directions for future developments in CFD, in the context of advancements in approximation theory, computer science and high performance computing and communications (HPCC) in the Internet environment.
We hope this information is helpful for prospective graduate students, faculty of other institutions, and engineers/scientists in industrial institutions with significant interest in the computational engineering sciences in multi-disciplinary applications.

What's new:
Internet brings to engineering an entirely new venue for dissemination of graduate level and/or professional education. Check out the following opportunities/applications.

  • Certificate in CFD: newly organized, completely Internet-based graduate course sequence constituted of ES 551, ES 552, ES 645 plus an elective. A hands-on CFD Laboratory course (ES 652) for code applications in 3-dimensional validation-scale CFD problem statements will be available shortly. Requires admittance to UT Graduate School, counts as first 12 hours towards ES MSc in the computational engineering sciences.

  • Professional Training: on a self study basis, take any of the available computational engineering sciences academic courses from the archives. Certificate of completion available for each course, the schedule is completely yours. Register directly with CFD Lab - Graduate School admission is not a requirement.
