Course summary

Our MSc Aerodynamics and Computation degree focuses on numerical methods and the physics and computation modelling of turbulence. It will enhance your knowledge of flow physics and your ability to use state-of-the art computational tools to improve industrial designs. This course is ideal if you’re an engineering, maths or science graduate with a strong background in fluid dynamics or aerodynamics. This degree will prepare you for a career in industrial research and development, or ongoing postgraduate research. You’ll take part in individual and group practical work as well as a critical research project, developing your expertise in aerodynamics. You’ll examine current trends and challenges and engage in discussion and research on critical issues in the field. You'll also develop your ability to use experimental and advanced computational methods, such as particle image velocimetry (the measurement of the velocity of fluids), finite volume method and high-order finite difference methods Research projects are often linked to our current research activities, or supported by industry or government funding bodies. Past students have undertaken research projects such as: the investigation of the installation effects on the noise of Dyson high-spend fans, aerodynamic load estimation from particle image velocimetry, morphing wings aircraft modelling. You’ll benefit from state-of-the-art facilities including high-performance computers and the RJ Mitchell Wind Tunnel, the largest university wind tunnel in the UK. Recent graduates have gone on to work at organisations such as Dyson and Rolls-Royce.
