Master of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering - Fluid Mechanics in Vancouver Canada | The University of British Columbia

A foundational topic in mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics research continues to be critically important in modern times. Water constitutes the majority of human body composition, liquids cover more than 70% of the planet's surface, and our atmosphere consists entirely of fluid substances. Nearly all industrial operations incorporate fluid movement, often involving materials with intricate flow properties. While well-established, the discipline still presents significant unsolved problems, especially regarding computational modeling of chaotic flows, behavior of nonlinear viscous substances, biological fluid dynamics, and interactions between fluids and solid structures. Our Fluid Mechanics research group investigates diverse applications, spanning manufacturing techniques in paper production and petroleum industries, marine vessel design, and cellular movement dynamics within biological systems.
