The Institute of Fluid Mechanics of Toulouse (IMFT) is a research centre supervised by three administrative entities: the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (INPT-ENSEEIHT), the CNRS (Engineering Department) and the University «Paul Sabatier» (UFR MIG). Founded in 1918, at the beginning IMFT was a hydraulic research laboratory well-known for its experimental studies performed on small-scale models. Now, the research at the IMFT encompasses a wide range of topics in fluid mechanics, making it one of the leading laboratories in Europe. 2, record 5, English, - Institute%20of%20Fluid%20Mechanics%20of%20Toulouse
