A report to quantify the value of Fluid Mechanics in Australia
The AFMS is now actively working on a report to that will estimate the financial impact of fluid mechanics research across Australia and New Zealand, as well as other key metrics such as employment numbers.
Fluid mechanics is the analysis of fluid flows. The air flowing in our lungs, the blood flowing in our veins, the lava erupting from a volcano, the air flowing over an aircraft wing, water flooding from a dam and the chemicals mixing in a pharmaceuticals plant are all examples of flowing fluids. Fluid mechanicians aim to understand fluid flows, predicting, adapting and harnessing flows for practical applications.
Members of the Australasian Fluid Mechanics Society provide service to aerospace, automotive, biological, chemicals, defence, energy, environmental, food, maritime, medical, mining, pharmaceuticals, sports, and water industries. We teach biomedical, civil, chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineers, applied mathematicians, meteorologists and oceanographers, continuing a 50-year-old tradition of excellence in Australian and New Zealand fluid mechanics.
Our 350-plus members are taking on the greatest challenges of our time in water, food security, energy, health, transportation, weather prediction and climate change, under the overarching imperative of sustainability.

Research Fellow in Computational Fluid Mechanics
Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Melbourne
We’re seeking postdocs to perform computational research wall-bounded turbulence over riblets (drag reduction) and roughness. The research aims to make fundamental advances as informed by applications, reflecting the funding mix of national and international government grants as well as industry contracts.
Please feel free to email A/Prof Daniel Chung (daniel.chung@unimelb.edu.au) with any questions.
