Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Fluid Dynamics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates new theory from the nonlinear and nonequilibrium behavior of fluids.

AboutAbout the lab
Creating a new theory of fluid dynamics.
The Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Fluid Dynamics Lab studies fluid phenomena and their application to mechanical engineering, with nonlinearity and nonequilibrium as its keywords.
Its aim is not a theory that solves the problems of a specific fluid machine, but a foundational theory for solving fundamental problems across a broad range of fluid engineering.
Developing new mechanical systems based on that theory is also one of its goals.
In education, the lab is built on foundational skills centered on mathematics and physics, logical thinking, and an attitude of pursuing the essence of things.
Key terms
- Nonequilibrium
- A keyword that grows in importance in small-scale worlds. The assumption of treating air and water as "flow" no longer holds
- Nonlinearity
- A property that becomes essential to exploit well when moving fluids or making fluids do work in small-scale worlds
- Rarefied gas
- A thin gas. Outer space is filled with this gas, and it appears to be a domain where nonequilibrium, nonlinear fluid dynamics is especially important

ResearchResearch themes
Fluid dynamics is the discipline that treats the motion of air and water as "flow" and clarifies its details through mathematical and experimental research. The ultimate goal of this lab is to create a new theory that underpins "nonlinear nonequilibrium fluid dynamics," which becomes important in worlds too small to see or touch and in outer space.
*Illustrative imageNonlinear phenomena of waves, flow, and heat
Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the lab investigates the nonlinear evolution of large-amplitude sound waves into shock waves, vortices generated by sound, and sound produced by heat.
*Illustrative imageNonequilibrium fluid dynamics without the continuum assumption
Using the Boltzmann equation and molecular dynamics, the lab connects the microscopic and macroscopic worlds. The themes involve rarefied gases, molecular gases, and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
*Illustrative imageInterphase transport models for multiphase flow
Aiming to understand and apply the extreme environments of thousands of atmospheres and thousands of degrees brought about by tiny bubbles, the lab builds models of interphase transport starting from the molecular level.
