<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="3">Fluid mechanics is one of the
oldest and broadest fields of engineering. It encompasses aerodynamics,
hydrodynamics, vortex dynamics, gas dynamics, computational fluid dynamics
(CFD), convection heat transfer, flows of turbomachinery, acoustics, biofluids,
physical oceanography, atmospheric dynamics, wind engineering, and the dynamics
of two-phase flows. Modern design of aircraft, spacecraft, automobiles, ships,
land and marine structures, power and propulsion systems, or heat exchangers is
impossible without a clear understanding of the relevant fluid mechanics.</FONT></P>

<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="3">Virginia Tech's Fluid Mechanics
faculty comprises some of the nation's top researchers in this dynamic field.
The purpose of our site is to provide you with a survey of the expertise found
here in beautiful Southwest Virginia. Whether you are a prospective graduate student, a prospective
undergraduate student, or a practicing engineer looking for expert advice, we
hope you will find these pages helpful.</FONT></P>
