Fluid Design Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that takes on the optimization of fluid machinery and optical measurement of the flows inside it.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the design of fluid machinery through mathematics and measurement
The Fluid Design Lab studies the optimization, robustness enhancement, and intelligentization of fluid machinery by combining fluid engineering with mathematical and data science.
The lab also studies the flow inside turbomachinery using optical imaging-based measurement methods such as pressure-sensitive paint, temperature-sensitive paint, and particle image velocimetry.
Graduate students (including international students) and undergraduate thesis students receive research supervision.
Key terms
- Turbomachinery
- Machines that use the rotation of an impeller to add energy to a fluid or extract energy from it
- Pressure-sensitive paint
- A paint used to obtain an image of the surface pressure distribution from changes in light intensity
- Particle image velocimetry
- One of the optical imaging measurement methods, used to measure flow fields
ResearchResearch themes
The lab combines fluid engineering with mathematical and data science to work on the optimization, robustness enhancement, and intelligentization of fluid machinery. It also studies the flow inside turbomachinery using optical imaging-based measurement.
*Illustrative imageOptimization, robustness enhancement, and intelligentization of fluid machinery
This research combines fluid engineering with mathematical and data science to advance the optimization, robustness enhancement, and intelligentization of fluid machinery. The research keywords are fluid, design, optimization, mathematical science, and data science.
*Illustrative imageOptical measurement of flow inside turbomachinery
Optical imaging measurement methods such as pressure- and temperature-sensitive paint and particle image velocimetry are applied to the flow fields inside turbomachinery. The research aims to reveal complex flow behavior that has been difficult to measure with conventional techniques and has therefore been slow to be understood.
