Environmental Fluid Mechanics Division

Protection of the environment and human health is the main objective of this Division. The work of the Division is dedicated to the modelling of complex environmental and fluid dynamics problems and also includes applications of high performance computing to the solution of problems in environmental science. The division is headed by Prof. Victor Popov.
