In the graduate school of Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics, you as a doctoral student develop your knowledge both through theory and applications in the field.

In the theoretical aspects, it is mainly about developing your knowledge in turbulence modeling and multiphase flow. In the technical context, it is mainly about heat transfer, vehicle aerodynamics, turbo engines and internal combustion engines. 

The goal of the graduate school is to give you as a doctoral student an in-depth knowledge of fluid mechanics, turbulence and heat transfer with associated applications both through the use of numerical and experimental methods. 

​The graduate school is organised within the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Admission Requirements

General entry requirements

To be qualified for admission in Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics the student must have earned a degree at the second-cycle level. The orientation of the student’s degree shall also have a sufficiently close connection to the subject of the doctoral programme. Equivalent requirements apply to individuals who have taken their first degree in a country other than Sweden. The examiner, in consultation with the principal supervisor, shall assess whether the applicant has the requisite capacity to successfully complete the doctoral programme. Other requirements for general entry are regulated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.

Admission

Regulations regarding admission are stated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.

Scholarships

Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.
