General Information
The courses deal with the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, the modelling of hydrosystems, the description of exchange and transport processes in flows; more advanced lectures present the theory and numerics of flow and transport in porous media. In addition to the lectures, which are held in German as well as, to a large extent, in English, various seminars are organised in co-operation with other faculties, e.g. as part of SRC SimTech. In addition, the department aims to attract students from other disciplines such as mathematics, computer sciences or process engineering.

The Ferienakademie was founded in 1994 by Prof. F.L. Bauer from TU Munich. In 1985, the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg became the second organising university. The University of Stuttgart followed in 2002. Since 2005, the Ferienakademie has been directed by Prof. H.-J. Bungartz from TU Munich.
Donations from companies and the sponsoring associations of the three organising universities as well as own funds make it possible to hold the Ferienakademie in the Sarntal Valley in South Tyrol. It is intended to motivate and support talented and interested students from the three organising universities.
Office hour
By appointment only.
