Research Activities
This laboratory carries out research on computational fluid dynamics using the particle method. The particle method is characterized by its meshfree calculation framework which enables us to numerically simulate fluid flows with complex gas-liquid interface behaviors. Since flows involving gas-liquid interfaces are ubiquitous in nature and industry, the particle method has been applied to the academic research and the industrial applications in a wide range of fields. However, there are still many complex problems that cannot be solved with the current technology. We challenge the frontier of computational science by developing new computational algorithms, integrating finite element methods, and using advanced HPC environments, and aim to solve the problems faced by industry and society.
