Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics
Fluids Dynamics lies at the heart of many societal and industrial challenges with practical application in the engineering and physical sciences and further into geophysical, astrophysical, environmental and biomedical regimes. The Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics is a cross-disciplinary research institute that brings together expertise in a collaborative framework in order to maximise the effectiveness and impact of fluids research.
In 2021 we published a key report on the value and contribution of fluid dynamics to UK economy and society: Read the report
