Student Theses

The Institute of Fluid Mechanics supervises student research projects, Bachelor’s and Master’s theses in German or English language in all related scientific fields. During their thesis period, the students are integrated into the institute’s team and the projects of the respective division, i. e. they fully comprehend the implication of their work in current research projects of the institute.

Note that we typically require the successful completion of at least basic courses in Fluid Mechanics at LSTM, for instance Fluid Dynamics/Fluid Mechanics or Strömungsmechanik I and Strömungsmechanik II.

Templates

There is a template for thesis projects available: https://github.com/pschlatt1/LaTeX-Template-LSTM. Please use this template for your thesis, including the cover page also on github. Note that you need to apply for a LSTM Tech. Rep. number (LSTM Tech. Rep. 01/2025) prior to submission at lstm-verwaltung@fau.de.
