Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Fluids Engineering
French term or phrase: code scientifique de recherche en mécanique des fluids
This is from an engineering CV or resume. Obviously, the subject is fluids engineering (engineering gets more ghits than mechanics) and we are talking about research, but would this translate as 'scientific code for fluids engineering research' or 'scientific research code for fluid mechanics' - would the latter make sense?

Here's the line in question:

Participation au développement d’un code scientifique de recherche en mécanique des fluids.

(I'm sure there's an 'e' missing from 'fluids' in the French, but hey ho!)

code scientifique de recherche en mécanique des fluids
research code in the field of fluid mechanics


Explanation:
I would say "participated in the development of a research code in the field of fluid mechanics", or even "co-developed a research code in the field of fluid mechanics".

Just some other options.

If code has to do with a \"methodology\" for conducting scientific research, maybe it\'s best to say \"methodology\" to avoid potential confusion with the other meaning for \"code\" which has to do with computer programming.

Other options:

\"co-developed a code for research in the field of fluid mechanics\"

\"co-developed a research methodology in fluid mechanics\"
