The latest webinar on the EPSRC National Fellowships in Fluid Dynamics (NFFDy) is available to view on YouTube via link below. See also What's On on this page.

The Organizers of the 2021 Modelling of Cleaning and Decontamination (ModCaD) Workshop in are delighted to share the outcomes of this EPSRC-funded workshop in a new report, which reflects the contributions from all the workshop participants.

EPSRC will launch a call on the UKRI funding finder (https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/) on 23 March 2022 for a cohort of 8–12 National 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowships in Fluid Dynamics (NFFDy). 

In Nov 2020 the UK Fluids Network asked the UK Fluids community for ideas about future initiatives in Fluid Dynamics. This report contains a summary of the responses.

This year's UK Fluids Network Thesis Competition is now accepting nominations. The closing date is 30th April 2022.
