Welcome to the website of the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides Numérique (LMFN) of Université Laval.

Fluid mechanics is the field of mechanical enginering which is dedicated to the study of forces and phenomena associated to fluid flows. This science, which includes aerodynamics (aircrafts, wind turbines) and hydrodynamics (hydraulic turbines, hydrokinetic turbines), translates these phenomena into mathematical expressions. 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the chosen field of the LMFN, uses the power of computers to resolve unsteady and turbulent fluid flows in complex systems.

The LMFN is directed by Professor Guy Dumas since its creation in 1990. Professor Mathieu Olivier has joined the team as co-director in 2016. The laboratory continually contributes to the fame of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Université Laval in the field of experimental and numerical fluid mechanics.

We invite you to come and visit us in our main laboratory in the Adrien-Pouliot building, on the third floor at the local 3302!

Have a good visit!
