Flow and Heat Transfer in a Cavity
We conduct research on 2D cavity flow with sinusoidal oscillation of the boundary to enhance the efficiency of diffusion and mixing
as well as research on the effects of gravitational oscillations on natural convection and research on fluid sloshing as basic research
on the promotion of heat dispersion due to forced oscillation of a container.
Jet Flow and Rotational Flow and Their Applications
As basic research on solid transport, we conduct research on rotational and non-rotational flows in round pipes and near round pipe
inlets, research on solid-liquid mutual interactions that are important when suction-lifting solids, and research on annular ejectors
that are attracting attention as simple constructions for jet pumps.
Separating Flow
High-Reynolds-number flows and flow-induced vibrations are often characterized by separating flows. The Laboratory of Fluid
Mechanics conducts research on flows around two-dimensional bluff bodies and wake vortices behind three-dimensional bluff
bodies.
Acoustic Streaming
Steady flows, which appear near an ultrasonic sound source in addition to the sinusoidal oscillations, are known as acoustic
streaming or ultrasonic flows. They are expected to find applications in gravity-free spaces. We conduct computational simulations to
elucidate these flows near various-shaped sound sources.
