Fluid Dynamics
Understanding and controlling the forces that an object receives from the air plays an important role in industrial products such as automobiles and airplanes. The Fluid Dynamics Laboratory conducts research on fluid dynamics with the aim of contributing to the improvement of the performance of current industrial products and the development of new products. The Fluid Dynamics Laboratory conducts research on relatively slow flows, such as those assumed for wind turbines and automobiles used in wind power generation, to fast flows that reproduce the flight environment of airplanes and rockets, based on experiments, numerical calculations, and AI techniques.

In the study of high-speed flows, the ultimate goal is to reduce the frictional drag of aircraft. In the numerical simulation, the supersonic boundary layer is reproduced and the data near the wall is obtained.
