The Fluid Mechanics laboratory is actively engaged in research in a wide range of topics. The research areas are inspired by practical applications that already exist in a few cases, but also those that are yet to be realized. Our research style is to address issues at a fundamental level, in a manner that would provide a framework for conceiving real-life systems of remarkable complexity.

The lab is useful for engineering students to provide about different aspects of measurement. The measurement either linear or angular one is being dealt. Most often the measuring instruments losses their accuracy after a prolonged period of usage. This leads to error in measurement which further being supplemented with other errors. An over view of calibration has been dealt thoroughly and its importance is emphasized. Various types of instruments are being used and their accuracy has ascertained with the help of standards like slip blocks and sine bar. Surface roughness measurement and checking of tool angles one of the major feature of this laboratory. Acceptance test for different machine tools is also being one of the salient features of this laboratory.
