About the COE Program Leader What is Flow Dynamics?
About the COE

  1. The COE conducts the research of scientific principle of nano-mega spatiotemporal flow dynamics and creation of flow function, then expands beyond practical application. In the process of the research, we are establishing the COE of Flow Dynamics through the use of international research network.

  2. For the purpose of cultivating highly practical and talented researchers who have a good sense of internationality, Graduate School of Environmental Study and Department of Aeronautics Study cooperate with Institute of Fluid Science that are currently expanding internationally in flow dynamic research field, and form an international research educational group.

  3. The COE will perform personnel training to the talents who may serve as a leader of international leading project research in the future through the various educational programs such as "International Internship"by the active use of Academic Liaison Offices, "Double Degree System", "Leading Researcher Hatchery Program", and through international summer school inviting a number of top researchers as invited lecturers.

What is Flow Dynamics?

Flow Dynamics is a megascopic motion of mass, consists of individual elements, and is phenomena spreading over many fields of science and engineering.

Research subjects in this project center are many fields of Flow phenomena including forefront engineering, such as Global Environmental Engineering, Aeronautics and Space Engineering, Energy Engineering, New Material Process Engineering, and Biofluid, etc.

Flow phenomena on engineering is including spacially and temporally large domain from nano- to mega-scale decided by extent of phenomena and transfer speed and so on.

Flow dynamics is not only investigation of such a complex flow phenomena, but also novel comprehensive engineering, aiming to create novel flow function for engineering to utilize it for practical application.
