We are studying the mechanism of complex turbulent flows using the CFD techniques for predicting the phenomena with high accuracy.

Turbulence Structure

Prediction and control of turbulent flow

We are performing direct numerical simulations to clarify the mechanism for predicting and controlling turbulent flow in various situations. (Keywords : Rough wall, Noninertial frame, Circular cylinder, Melting and solidification)

Non-Newtonian Fluid

Turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluid

We are studying the characteristics of turbulent flows of non-Newtonian fluids and the difference from those of Newtonian fluid. (Keywords : Surfactant solution, Power-law fluid, Viscoelastic fluid)

Acoustic Noise

Aerodynamic noise from turbulence

We are studying the mechanism of aerodynamic noise sources from turbulence for predicting and controlling the noise. (Keywords : Large-scale pressure structure, Wall vibration)

Thermal Convection

Thermal convection

We are investigating turbulence structures in thermal convection. (Keywords : Buoyancy, Density change)
