GRK 91:  Modelling and Numerical Descriptions of Technical Fluid Flows

• Subject Area: Mechanics and Constructive Mechanical Engineering
• Term: from 1995 to 2004
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 269673

This research training group deals with the modelling and analysis of fluidmechanical systems, the development and adaption of appropriate numerical techniques and the numerical simulation of flow-related problems which occur in technical and industrial  applications.  Making use of the existing practical experience at the TU Darmstadt this program accompanies and supports Ph-D students and specialists  in order to improve their research education and activities in different areas of thermofluiddynamics. In view of the promotion of an acceptable duration of Ph-D studies this program focusses on specialized specific topics including interdisciplanary elements and provides special courses on modern research  fields in mechanical engineering, mechanics and applied mathematics,  involving distinguished scientists from all over the world.
