"Visualization": Physical visualization and information visualization.
The invisible physics and information will be visualized using an active approach . Visualization will be the key technology for the 21st century.
- Micro-fluid Visualization
The advanced visualization technology has been developed to measure the flow inside micro-flow system whose size is less than 100 micro-meters.
The target flow includes Red Blood Cell motion in micro capillary flow and fluid dynamics in micro-fluidics.
- Three-dimensional Information Visualization
An advanced 3D interface and collaboration system has been studied using Web3D technology. This novel visualization will be developed through the internet.
- Radiation Induced Surface Activation (RISA)
Irradiation of gamma-rays on the oxidezed material surface results in the improvements in wetability. Heat transfer under strong irradiation conditions has also been studied, e.g., in a space environments and nuclear reactors.
