cmefe-hepia, aerodynamics, CFD, wind tunnels, Geneva, Switzerland

Competences

From several years CMEFE develops research activities in the following areas:

- Experimental fluid mechanics, wind tunnel testing

- CFD simulation

- Energetics

- Thermal systems engineering

Strategic focus

CMEFE develops efforts on two main subjects:

1) Fluid mechanics application

-	Transportation system aerodynamics
-	Environmental fluid mechanics
-	Industrial process optimisation
-	Electronic cooling
-	Building aerodynamics
-	Sport equipment optimisation

2) Energetics

-	Energy transformation processes
-	Development of techniques for the use of bio-fuels
-	Valorization of thermal waste for heating and electricity production
-	Energy management

CMEFE material and human ressources are able to lead multi-field projects with an optimal approach. A project can be subdivided in theoretical, numerical and experimental chapters in order to develop the optimal response to a given problem. These parallel chapters can be treated in the same group with a high engineering skill focused on application.
