Environmental Fluid Dynamics is concerned with natural fluid systems, such as those found in meteorology, hydrology, hydraulics, limnology, and oceanography. Significant work in this area relates to the Marine environment, with the University of Edinburgh’s leading research into marine renewable energy and coastal management. The university is closely linked with the world-class ocean research facility FloWave, which regularly hosts researchers from the University.

We use numerical, experimental, and analytical tools for research on both micro and on a global scale in areas such as resource and impact assessment, device modeling, and sedimentation or particle transport and dispersion in the atmosphere, in water, and in building and industry.
