Fluid and Process Dynamics Research Group

Understanding fluid and process behaviour is essential for addressing many global challenges for developing a future green society. It’s also important in many facets of advanced society, such as in energy transformation, metal and materials production, manufacturing and recycling of products. 

The Fluid and Process Dynamics (FPD) Research Group is part of the Department of Mechanical and Product Design Engineering (MPDE) and performs cutting-edge research in the areas of fluid dynamics/mechanics, fluid structures, thermodynamics, materials and energy transformation, and high temperature chemical and materials processes. The knowledge and science in these sub-disciplines underpins the research undertaken by the majority of Swinburne’s research institutes, with expertise provided by FPD.
