The lab explores the fundamentals of fluid dynamics through numerical simulation and theory of flows.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the laws of flow through computation and theory.
The Hirota Lab conducts basic research in fluid dynamics, focusing on numerical simulation and theory of flows.
Flows appear across a wide range of fields, from phenomena at the biological level to those on the scale of the Earth and the universe, and in engineering areas such as aerospace and next-generation energy.
By combining mathematical analysis with large-scale computation, the lab searches for laws common to fluid systems and for methods that can be applied broadly.
The lab's page is shared with Prof. Hattori's lab and is presented as the Computational Fluid Physics research area.
Key terms
- Turbulence
- A state in which a flow becomes irregular and chaotic, with eddies of many sizes mixed together
- Flow stability
- The property describing whether a small disturbance added to a flow grows or dies out
- Differential geometry
- A field of mathematics that uses the ideas of calculus to study the properties of curved shapes such as curves and surfaces
ResearchResearch themes
As basic research in fluid dynamics, the lab uses both numerical simulation and mathematical analysis of fluid systems to discover universal laws, clarify common phenomena, and develop general-purpose methods. Its subjects include turbulence, vortex dynamics, and flow stability.
