Scientific research

The Working Group on Fluids

The Working Group on Fluids has been developed to foster the scientific research on the dynamics of fluids at the De Vinci Research Center.
Periodic seminars are organized with topics going from mathematics, to physics, to engineering.
Invited seminars from collaborators belonging to other institutes help stimulating the discussions.
As a byproduct of the discussions following the seminars, some topics are selected as possible projects/internships/PhDs for the students.
