Complex Fluid Dynamics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores complex fluid phenomena through numerical simulation and experiments.

AboutAbout the lab
From complex fluid phenomena to technologies for control and prediction.
The Complex Fluid Dynamics Lab studies complex fluid phenomena, such as the flow of air and water, using numerical simulation and experiments.
The lab extracts universal properties found in complex fluid phenomena and proposes fluid control technologies that contribute to energy savings and environmental protection.
For problems such as oil spills in marine environments and tsunami damage, the lab develops integrated behavior prediction systems based on numerical simulation.
The research keywords are drag reduction and multiphase flow.
Key terms
- Drag reduction
- Reducing the resistance that an object receives from a flow
- Multiphase flow
- A phenomenon in which substances in different states, such as gas, liquid, and solid, flow together in a mixture
- Disaster mitigation
- An approach that aims not to prevent a disaster completely but to keep the damage as small as possible
ResearchResearch themes
Real fluids involve complex physical phenomena, and accurately predicting their behavior is an extremely difficult problem. The lab's main research themes are the development of turbulent drag reduction technology using functional ship-bottom paint, numerical prediction of heavy oil and gas spills from the deep sea, and the development of disaster mitigation technology for oil-spill fires caused by tsunamis.
