Fluid Dynamics at Technical University of Denmark - DTU, Fluid•DTU, is a collaboration between several departments at DTU with the aim of stimulating and enhancing the research and collaboration within fluid dynamics.

Some of the main current research themes are: Instability, bifurcation and chaos, vortex dynamics, drops, interfaces, microfluidics, biofluidics, and dynamics of complex fluids.


Courses for MSc students
• 01617: Dynamical systems 1 (5 ETCS, fall)
An introduction to the modern theory of non-linear dynamics with a rigorous mathematical flavor. Applications in various sciences are also included.

• 01618: Dynamical systems 2 (5 ETCS, spring)
