Inter-University Master's Degree in Computational Fluid Dynamics - 8th edition

The field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) plays an increasingly important role in technological, industrial and scientific development. Numerical simulation makes it possible to analyse complex processes, optimise designs and understand phenomena involving fluids, heat transfer and mass transport in sectors as diverse as energy, aeronautics, automotive engineering, the chemical industry, biomedicine and the environment.

The Master's Degree in Computational Fluid Mechanics provides advanced training focused on understanding the physical and mathematical foundations that govern fluid behaviour and applying them rigorously to numerical simulation.

The objective of the programme is not only to learn how to use CFD software, but to acquire the necessary criteria to:

• correctly formulate fluid problems,
• select appropriate physical and numerical models,
• configure simulations coherently,
• critically interpret results,
• assess their physical validity.

For this reason, the master's programme places special emphasis on the foundations of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and mass transport, which constitute the basis on which computational simulation is built.

Training in simulation tools, both commercial and open source, is developed progressively as an instrument to apply the knowledge acquired. This process culminates in the Master's Final Project, in which the student integrates modelling, simulation and analysis in a real industrial or research‑oriented problem.

The master's degree is delivered online and is the result of collaboration between Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) and Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), two institutions with extensive experience in both teaching and research in fluid mechanics.
