Exhibitor at Bedex: VON KARMAN INSTITUTE FOR FLUID DYNAMICS

The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) is an international non-profit scientific and educational organization located in Rhode-Saint-Genèse, Belgium. Specializing in fluid dynamics (the study of the behavior of liquids, gases, and plasmas), the institute operates three scientific departments covering aeronautics and aerospace, environmental and applied fluid dynamics, and turbomachinery and propulsion.

VKI combines postgraduate training, cutting-edge research, and experimental expertise using numerous specialized facilities (wind tunnels, test benches, simulations, etc.) and welcomes students, engineers, and researchers from around the world each year for educational programs, research projects, and continuing education. etc.), and each year welcomes students, engineers, and researchers from around the world for educational programs, research projects, and continuing education. The institute also collaborates with industrial partners, European research agencies, and institutions such as the Department of Defense to strengthen technical and scientific capabilities in strategic areas.

The mission of the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics

To train highly qualified engineers and scientists and produce advanced research in fluid dynamics in order to meet the technical and operational challenges of the aeronautics, space, environmental, and industrial sectors and to support the development of innovative and reliable solutions for current and future technological challenges.
