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 />
