Welcome to our department

Fluid mechanics describes the movement of liquids or gases. Characteristic phenomena, such as turbulence or heat and mass transport, are just as interesting for aircraft or mechanical engineers as they are for process engineers or physicians. With its current research projects, the department contributes to the strategic research fields of Clausthal University of Technology, particularly in the area of "digitalization" and "sustainable energy systems". In teaching, fluid mechanics is represented as a basic subject in many Bachelor's and Master's degree courses. Compulsory elective courses offer the opportunity to specialize in current research topics. Through our lecturers, our students can also make contact with non-university research institutions.
