Aerodynamics (i.F.i.)<br />
<strong>the</strong> Institute for Industrial Aerodynamics<br />
was recognised in 1990 as an<br />
institute of <strong>the</strong> <strong>FH</strong> <strong>Aachen</strong> by <strong>the</strong> North<br />
Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Innov<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />
Science, Research and Technology. It<br />
was <strong>the</strong> first associ<strong>at</strong>ed research institute<br />
of a university of applied sciences<br />
in North Rhine-Westphalia. The name<br />
“Institute for Industrial Aerodynamics”<br />
was intended to <strong>und</strong>erscore its oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
in <strong>the</strong> fields of avi<strong>at</strong>ion aerodynamics.<br />
Major areas of activity of <strong>the</strong> I.F.I. are<br />
building aerodynamics, vehicle aerodynamics,<br />
wind tunnel technology and fluid<br />
dynamics. Fluid dynamics research and<br />
<strong>the</strong> field of fire prevention, especially<br />
smoke extraction studies and real fire<br />
simul<strong>at</strong>ion, are important rel<strong>at</strong>ed areas<br />
of building dynamics. Along with planning<br />
and development work using physical<br />
models and CFD studies in <strong>the</strong> above<br />
fields, <strong>the</strong> I.F.I. offers testing according<br />
to German and European standards, for<br />
example for smoke and he<strong>at</strong> chimneys,<br />
labor<strong>at</strong>ory fume hoods and mechanically<br />
<strong>at</strong>tached roof sealing. In accordance<br />
with German law governing building<br />
m<strong>at</strong>erials, <strong>the</strong> I.F.I. is notified in Europe<br />
as a recognised testing loc<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
