The Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory (FDS) is located on the 5th floor (5.OG) of building "C".
The C-building (east wing) is home to all institutes of naval architecture of Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and its main entrance is shared by the building "D" (west wing). It is also known and referred to as the "Schiffbauergebäude" (transl. the Naval Architects' Building) on campus and this information may assist you in asking for directions, when in doubt.
A large number of bicycle racks can be found just outside of the C-building directly next to the main entrance. At-grade access to the C-building, which is located on the northern, and thus hillside part of campus, is possible via one of the following routes: Am Schwarzenberg Campus, Niemannstraße or Kasernenstraße.
