Examples of fluid mechanics

Our faculty is actively engaged in applied and fundamental research to address timely scientific questions relevant to mechanical engineering. Research in the mechanical engineering program is largely interdisciplinary and therefore involves research collaborations with different programs and Centers across campus such as the College of Medicine, the Vermont Advanced Computing Center, the Materials Science program, and the Civil and Environmental Engineering program. The mechanical engineering faculty at UVM works closely with students in six research areas:

1.Computational Multiscale Simulations & Theory
 Faculty: Yves Dubief, Darren Hitt, Jeff Marshall, Frederic Sansoz
 
2.Mechanical Engineering in Aerospace Applications
 Faculty: Yves Dubief, Douglas Fletcher, Darren Hitt, Dryver Huston, Jeff Marshall, Frederic Sansoz
 
3.Mechanical Engineering in Biology and Medical Research
 Faculty: Yves Dubief, Mary Dunlop, Jeff Marshall, Rachael Oldinski
 
4.Mechanical Engineering in Dynamical Systems
 Faculty: Mary Dunlop, Dryver Huston
 
5.Mechanical Engineering in Micro and Nanotechnology
 Faculty: Darren Hitt, Rachael Oldinski, Frederic Sansoz
 
6.Mechanical Engineering in Sustainable Energy
 Faculty: Mary Dunlop, Frederic Sansoz

We conduct a range of multidisciplinary research projects on the following topics:

Smart Structures
Aerospace Engineering
Turbulence
Complex Fluids
Multiscale Mechanics
Micro and Nano Engineering
Nanomaterials
Energy Harvesting, Conversion and Storage
Control Systems
Microorganisms and Cells
Biomaterials
