FLOW receives funding from KTH’s strategic research initiatives

KTH's strategic research initiatives mobilize efforts around strategically important areas, where the link to societal development and its needs is clear. The idea is to bring together researchers in new collaborations, either in an existing research area or by developing a new one.

The FLUX initiative builds on KTH’s internationally recognised excellence in fluid mechanics, extending the impact of cutting-edge research into strategic domains including AI, energy systems, bio-based materials, and climate technology. Anchored in a vision to accelerate innovation and sustainability, FLUX will:
 

• Develop leading-edge AI tools for fluid mechanics to accelerate impact on technology and sustainability.
• Address specific bottlenecks in strategic industries, such as thermal management in electronics, hypersonic flows, and electrolyser performance.
• Contribute to the transition to a sustainable society by focusing on CO2 separation and capture.

With strong foundations in high-performance computing, unique experimental infrastructure, and collaborations across academia and industry, FLUX will position KTH at the forefront of global innovation. The initiative supports Sweden’s strategic priorities in security, competitiveness, and sustainability, while advancing KTH’s long-term vision of research excellence and societal impact.

PIs are: Shervin Bagheri, Lisa Prahl Wittberg, Outi Tammisola, Ricardo Vinuesa, Ozan Öktem, Pär Olsson and Daniel Söderberg.
