Overview
Key facts
There is an increasing demand for CFD specialists with practical and technical knowledge. This Computational Fluid Dynamics programme offered by the Cranfield University will enable you to gain the knowledge and appreciation necessary for a strong foundation to a career in this exciting engineering discipline.
You will learn to understand, write and apply CFD methods across a broad range of fields, from aerospace, turbomachinery, multi-phase flow and heat transfer to microflows, environmental flows and fluid-structure interaction problems. Personalise your course by choosing from a range of specialist modules covering application-specific methods and techniques.
Why this course?
The Computational Fluid Dynamics programme offered by the Cranfield University provides a solid background so that you will be able to apply CFD methods as a tool for design, analysis and engineering applications.
With a strong emphasis on understanding and application of the underlying methods, enthusiastic students will be able to write their own CFD codes during the course.
Sharing modules with several MSc programmes within the school, this enables you to interact with students from other disciplines. In recent years, our students have been had the opportunity for work-based placements at the Aircraft Research Association (ARA), AIRBUS, European Space Agency (ESA), Ricardo and DAF Trucks.
