Research
At the institute of aerodynmics there are coupled basic research and applied research consequently. Based on theoretical and methodical developments in the area of numerical and experimental fluid mechanics modern tools are at the disposal of the applied research, from aircraft- to automobil aerodynamics till micro- and nanofluidics. In near cooperation with national and international industry partner and research facilities university projects are elaborated in the first front of the industrial development.
