National Fellowships in Fluid Dynamics
funded by EPSRC

Welcome to the website for the EPSRC-funded National Fellowships in Fluid Dynamics (NFFDy).

This scheme has been set up to support Early Career Researchers working in fluid dynamics on their pathway from PhD to PI. The cohort of NFFDy fellows will benefit from regular interaction and participation in two residential Summer Programmes, as well as linking into the wider community through the UK Fluids Network https://fluids.ac.uk/.

Over 200 Expression of Interest were received for the NFFDy fellowships. These were assessed by an expert panel, which invited 50 to submit a full application. The 11 successful candidates will work for 3 years on a diverse range of research topics including superfluids, lava dynamics, self-cleaning surfaces and 4D flow-MRI, hosted and partnered by universities and other organisations across the UK.
