A principal interest of the Physical Applied Mathematics branch of the Department of Mathematics is fluid dynamics. Current research interests of the members of the Fluid Dynamics Group include: geophysical and environmental fluid dynamics, biological fluid mechanics, astrophysical fluid dynamics, electrokinetic phenomena, the hydrodynamics of suspensions, free-surface flows, jetting processes, non-linear waves, rotating flows and stratified flows.

Our Mathematics Department is one of the very few with a Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, which is the focal point of investigations into a variety of problems involving free surface flows, and geophysical and environmental fluid dynamics. We also have a Dry Fluids Laboratory doing experimental work on granular flows, partly related to the MIT pebble-bed nuclear reactor .
