Coupled Problems for Decarbonization in Industry and Power Generation (COMBINE)

Forskningsprojekt, 2025 – 2029

The interaction between fluids and structures shapes how technology performs in the real world, from medical devices to wind turbines. However, simulating these interactions, known as fluid-structure interaction (FSI), is not easy. Current tools often fall short when fluids involve bubbles, droplets or particles, or when they cause vibrations, erosion or cavitation. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the COMBINE project aims to create methods that bridge physics, engineering and materials science. Its researchers are developing faster measurement techniques, more accurate simulations using AI and high-performance computing, and novel materials designed with fluid interactions in mind. Alongside research, COMBINE trains a new generation of experts, preparing them to transform industries through advanced FSI understanding.
