MRes DET: Fluid Dynamics, Energy and Transfers at INSA Toulouse

The DET pathway (Dynamique des fluides, énergétique et transferts) trains engineers and researchers in mechanics and energetics. It covers fluid and structural mechanics, energetics and heat transfer, with applications from aeronautics, space and transport to environment, health, buildings and energy. Teaching takes place on the Toulouse III Rangueil campus and at INSA and ISAE Toulouse; it is taught in French and can be followed as a work-study programme.

Faculty: INSA Toulouse (co-accredited Mechanics master with Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier, Toulouse INP and IMT Mines Albi)  |  Department: Mechanics / Energy  |  Duration: 2 years (M1 and M2); INSA Toulouse entry is at M2 level  |  Study mode: full-time  |  Location: Toulouse, Occitanie, France

What you will study

Steady and unsteady fluid dynamics (instabilities, aerodynamics, turbulence), energetics and transfers (heat transfer, liquid-vapour phase change, thermodynamics, radiation, combustion), fluid-structure interaction, numerical simulation and programming, plus specialisations such as vortex dynamics, microfluidics and acoustics. Year 2 includes a compulsory internship of at least 5 months starting in early February.

Career pathways

Design and modelling engineer, R&D engineer, project engineer in mechanics and energy, or research roles after a doctorate, in aerospace, energy, environment and biomedical sectors.
