The PhD project is supported and funded by BRICKS (Basic Research in Informatics for Creating the Knowledge Society). This consortium is a six-year programme (project proposal) partially funded by the Dutch BSIK theme ICT (Information and Communication Technology). BRICKS addresses the need for a strong impulse in fundamental research in informatics.

The PhD research is also part of the J.M. Burgerscentrum (JMBC). It is a Dutch researchschool which combines and stimulates research in Fluid Mechanics at the three Dutch Technical Universities, the University of Groningen, the Radboud University Nijmegen and the Leiden University. Due to the combined knowledge, skills and facilities of the 50 research groups, the JMBC offers a very stimulating, multidisciplinary environment for advanced research and education in fluid mechanics.
