Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics is a division at the Department of Management and Engineering. Thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics are just few of the areas we study and teach.

2016 Environmental Engineering Profile of the Year. Winner of the 2015 Skapa prize in Östergötland. Winner of the 2016 Nordic Cleantech Open. Againity was also given a desirable spot on the list of the 33 hottest new technology companies in Sweden.

Mechanical Engineering is a discipline of engineering sciences based on classical mechanics. In a broader sense, it covers disciplines from product development and design engineering to construction materials and computational mechanics.

Emissions from the transport sector can be drastically reduced with more streamlined trucks. Researchers have calculated, and road carrier owner Erik Alfredsson has built an initial version of the transport vehicle of the future.

In all probability, at least one of the heart’s valves – the mitral valve – functions entirely differently than previously believed. Neil Ingels, professor at Stanford School of Medicine is now putting out all the scientific data on the Internet.

Methods used to calculate airflow in the aeronautical and motor industries have been tested for calculating the airflow in animal houses, in this case poultry houses with tens of thousands of chickens. With excellent results.

Researchers at LiU have for the first time been able to use information from computer tomography images to simulate the heart function of an individual patient. Some of the modelling methods they use have been developed in the motor industry.

Using VR in lab work is popular with future engineers at LiU. They learn more rapidly and find everything easier to understand – and later find that industry is eager to employ people who have combined an engineering degree with visual programming.

A model to simulate heart function in individual patients has won first prize as the best academic contribution to a global competition in 2019. The model is the brainchild of Jonas Lantz and several other researchers at LiU.

Cars today must be certified for fuel consumption and emissions. Petter Ekman shows in his doctoral thesis how car manufacturers can make considerable resource savings for estimations of aerodynamics effects even from small geometrical details.
