Goal(s)
The primary objective of the Research Track is to enable students to deepen their expertise in fluid mechanics. Within this framework, students enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) program are given the opportunity to follow three advanced courses offered as part of the second-year Research Master’s program in Fluid Mechanics & Energy (http://master-mfe.grenoble-inp.fr/teaching/).
Students enrolled directly in the FME Master’s program are required to complete four courses in order to validate this research module.
Following the Research Track significantly enhances students’ scientific and technical knowledge, fosters innovation capabilities, and greatly increases their potential for pursuing a doctoral thesis.

Content(s)
The Research Track consists of three mandatory courses for students in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) program and four mandatory courses for students enrolled in the second-year Research Master’s program in Fluid Mechanics & Energy (M2R FME). All courses are taught in English or include English-language course materials:
Numerical Simulation and Modelling of Turbulent Flows (24 hours, Coordinators: G. Balarac, S. Tardu, G.-H. Cottet) — mandatory for both ME and M2R FME students
Hydrodynamical Stability (24 hours of lectures, Coordinator: J.-B. Flor) — mandatory for both ME and M2R FME students
Microfluidics & Nanofluidics (16 hours of lectures, 12 hours of tutorials/lab sessions, Coordinator: L. Davoust) — mandatory for both ME and M2R FME students
Signal Analysis, Random Signals, and Stochastic Processes (15 hours of lectures, 12 hours of tutorials/practicals, Coordinators: C. Baudet, N. Mordant) — mandatory only for M2R FME students; this course is not required for ME students
Prerequisitesbackground in fluid mechanics, including laminar and turbulent flows, numerical flow simulation, and an introduction to two-phase flows
Test
- Specific credits: this course brings 12.0 ECTS to students in Year 2 Master Fluid Mechanics and Energetics (M2 FME)
First session / Regular session
Non-repeatable assessment (EN): The continuous assessment grade is calculated as the average of the following components:
An average grade based on two evaluations for the Microfluidics & Nanofluidics course:
One written report based on tutorials/lab work using COMSOL, linked to the course content
One oral presentation of a research article in micro- and nanofluidics
One grade for an oral presentation of a research article in Turbulence
An average grade based on two evaluations for the Hydrodynamic Stability course:
One take-home assignment
One oral presentation of a research article
For students in the FME Master’s program:
One report based on tutorials/lab work using MATLAB, related to the Signal Processing course
Repeatable assessment (ER):
Three 2-hour written exams (DS) for students in the ME program,
Four 2-hour written exams for students in the M2-FME program,
These written exams cover the subjects taught and aim to assess the individual acquisition of key concepts and analytical skills.
Second session / Resit session
The grade obtained in the 3-hour resit exam replaces the ER grade.
The EN grade remains unchanged and cannot be retaken.
Final module grade = (EN grade + ER grade) / 2
EN 50% + ER 50%
The exam is given in english only 
Calendar
The course exists in the following branches:
- Curriculum - M2 FME Research - Semester 9 (this course is given in english only
) - Curriculum - Master's Degree in Engineering ME - Semester 9 (this course is given in english only )
