Research Contents<br />
The Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics undertakes research, both basic and applied, on the fluid behaviors and properties in various<br />
systems, as follows.<br />
Flow-Induced Vibrations<br />
Proposal, development, and investigation of simple new oscillators (identification of oscillation range including low Reynolds number<br />
range, oscillation characteristics within the range, critical Reynolds number, etc). Elucidation of mechanisms generating various<br />
flow-induced vibrations, such as fluidity oscillators, flip-flop jet nozzle and bluff-body flutter in a uniform flow, identification of their<br />
oscillation region and oscillation limits, and research on their applications and control.<br />
Flow between Rotating Disks<br />
Various flow phenomena arise near a floppy disk or other rotating disk due to the boundary conditions and the Reynolds number. We<br />
are currently conducting research and analysis to clarify the flow between two coaxially rotating disks.<br />
Computational Fluid Dynamics<br />
Development and improvement of analysis methods for various hypothesized flow fields, including difference methods, vortex<br />
methods, and discrete singularity methods. Verification of the simulated results is performed using the test results and visualization<br />
data.
