Welcome to the Physics of Fluids department

A department which belongs to the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Twente cooperating in the TechMed Research Institute and is part of the Max Planck - University of Twente Center for Complex Fluid Dynamics and the Twente Centre for Scientific Computing and the JM Burgers centre. The Physics of Fuids department is also actively working on topics related to climate change and the energy transition.
