The Master 2 Research in Fluid Mechanics and Energetics (FME) at Grenoble INP - Ense3 is a highly competitive, internationally recognised one year programme taught entirely in English. It delivers advanced expertise in fluid mechanics, heat transfers and transport phenomena, combining rigorous theoretical courses in the first semester with a 5 to 6 month research internship conducted in a laboratory or industrial research centre. The programme is designed for students aiming at research careers in academia or high-level R&D in the aerospace, energy and process industries.
Turbulence modelling, hydrodynamic stability, multiphase flows, and scale resolving simulation methods from DNS to hybrid RANS/LES approaches.
Advanced heat transfer, thermodynamics of jet engines and turboshafts, combustion fundamentals, and hydrogen & cryogenic systems.
Four specialised research level courses covering turbulence simulation, hydrodynamic stability, microfluidics, and stochastic signal analysis.
Four modules chosen from the M2 FME curriculum, oriented towards aerodynamics, turbulence, numerical simulation and energetics, the core pillars for research in aerospace propulsion and CFD.
The research backbone of the FME programme, covering four specialised topics at the frontier of fluid mechanics research.
Applied external aerodynamics focused on aircraft and combustion fundamentals for aerospace propulsion applications.
CFD verification & validation coupled with advanced optimisation methods for energy system design.
Convective and radiative heat transfer combined with thermodynamics of propulsion machines and cryogenic systems.
12 technical skills organised across three pillars : theoretical knowledge, simulation software, and scientific programming, built through coursework, projects and professional experience.
The second semester is dedicated to a full research internship of 5 to 6 months, conducted in a laboratory or an industrial research centre, in France or abroad. The internship aims at developing genuine research abilities. The scientific content must cover at least one of the following topics: fluid mechanics, energetics, chemical engineering, heat or mass transfer, or multiphysics coupling including at least one transport phenomenon. The defence takes place in early July or early September, and the report must follow the standard criteria of a scientific paper.
Grenoble INP - Ense3 maintains strong ties with leading aerospace and energy companies as well as world class research laboratories, providing exceptional opportunities for internships and doctoral research.
