FLOWX 2026 – Fluid Mechanics Project Challenge
The Department of Civil Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, in collaboration with the BIS Jalandhar Chapter, successfully conducted FLOWX 2026 on 15 September 2026, on the occasion of Engineers’ Day.
The Fluid Mechanics Project Challenge aimed to promote hands-on learning, experimentation, and problem-solving among students.
The event encouraged students to move beyond theoretical concepts and Think, Build, Test
through a diverse range of working models and experimental demonstrations.
🔬 Selected student projects included:
• Porous Media Flow
• Viscous Fi*****ng
• Lock Exchange
• Toy Wind Tunnel
• Bell Siphon
• Hele-Shaw Flow
• Tesla Valve
• Fluidic Oscillator
• Heron’s Fountain
• Chaotic Waterwheel
A special highlight of the event was the presence of Prof. Carlo Gualtieri, University of Naples Federico II, Italy, who evaluated the students’ performances and interacted with the participating teams.
The projects showcased how fundamental principles of fluid mechanics can be transformed into creative, engaging, and working experiments, covering a wide range of phenomena such as flow through porous media, mixing and instability, density-driven flow, vortex dynamics, siphoning, and flow control.
FLOWX 2026 provided students with valuable experience in experimentation, teamwork, scientific communication, and connecting theoretical concepts with real-world engineering phenomena.
Heartfelt thanks to our Honourable Director, Prof. Binod Kumar Kanaujia, for his constant encouragement and support. We gratefully acknowledge Prof. Rohit Mehra, Dean (Research & Consultancy), and Prof. S. P. Singh, Head, Department of Civil Engineering, for their encouragement and support in making the event possible.
Congratulations to all the participating students and sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to making FLOWX 2026 a successful and memorable event! 👏
