Mogi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that works to uncover the mechanisms of fires and explosions in order to build a safer society.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying fires and explosions for a safe and secure society.
The Mogi Lab studies disasters caused by combustion, such as fires and explosions.
Drawing on combustion science and chemical fluid dynamics, the lab takes on a wide range of work, from clarifying how these phenomena occur to developing disaster prevention technologies and ways of thinking about safety.
Few universities study fires and explosions through experiments, and this lab also conducts outdoor gas explosion experiments, among other work.
The lab accepts individual visits from students who are considering joining for their undergraduate thesis research or graduate studies.
Key terms
- Chemical fluid dynamics
- A field that deals with the flow of gases and liquids together with the chemical reactions that take place within them
- Fire whirl
- A tornado-like swirl of flame formed when the flames of a fire and rotating winds interact with each other. It increases the scale of the fire
- Dust explosion
- An explosion that occurs when fine flammable particles suspended in the air ignite and the flame spreads rapidly

To contribute to building a safe and secure society, the Mogi Lab studies disaster phenomena caused by combustion, such as fires and explosions, based on combustion science and chemical fluid dynamics. Its work spans a wide range, from clarifying the phenomena to examining disaster prevention technologies and developing safety theory.
*Illustrative imageCombustion of solids and liquids
The lab investigates "fire whirls," which can occur in forest fires and in urban fires after earthquakes, as well as flame spread across the surface of flammable solids and liquids. Both need to be better understood in order to prevent fires from spreading.
*Illustrative imageExplosion phenomena of gases and dust
In gas explosions caused by flammable gases and in dust explosions, the lab examines how flames propagate, how pressure changes, and how blast waves are generated. The goal is to establish methods for accurately predicting hazards and limiting damage.
*Illustrative imageSafety of hydrogen and other new energy sources
Hydrogen ignites easily and has a large impact when it explodes. The lab verifies the safety of hydrogen production using photocatalysts and of hydrogen use in fuel cells. It also hopes to take up research on the safety of ammonia.
