Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus FSG3134 (Spring 2019–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course will focus on advanced topics in fluid mechanics. External lecturers invited by the Linne FLOW Centre at KTH will introduce state-of-the-art theories and techniques.

Previous courses/summer schools focused on flow control, turbulent boundary layers, low Mach-number aero-acoustics in confined flows, Micro and complex fluids.

Intended learning outcomes

The student shall acquire knowledge on specialized topics in fluid mechanics directly from world-renowned experts in the area.
The final project will allow the student to use the new knowledge to solve practical problems.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Participants should be enrolled in a PhD programme related to fluid mechanics, and have passed one basic course in fluid mechanics: SG2214 or SG2225 at KTH.
