About this Project

Outline

Multiplexing of the collaborative relationship with international research institutes and the IFS

  • Researchers from the previous project will be in charge of collaborative researches.
  • Researchers from both present and previous projects will work together with collaborative foreign researchers to carry out coordinated international collaborative research strategically.

Diversification of young researchers' international networks

  • The IFS researchers will be sent to the world-leading research institutes with the best collaborative research results with our institute.
  • Exceptional young researchers will be brought on for 1 year to carry out collaborative research.

The IFS is only one of its kind in Japan to conduct research on everything from core fluid science to its application, and one of very few in the entire world. It is active as a central base of fluid science research.
The current program builds off of the success of the previous three year program, and specializes in cutting edge core fluid science research that supports important research on "life" and "energy", two fields which society is calling for advances in, by making critical contributions through fluid science. Through the program, the researchers from last time's project and the current project work together with collaborating research institutes to strategically implement an array of international collaborative research.

Research Topics

We decided on our research topics after deep investigation into the demands of society and the trends in fluid science.

The formularization of the variational methods approach to determining stability in complex flows and the construction of an efficient algorithm to express it numerically (energy)

University of Texas at Austin

An explanation of high level physical stimulus in cellular mechanotransduction and the mechanisms of the onset of cardiovascular disease (life)

National University of Singapore

A study of the fluid dynamics and interaction of chemical reactions in next generation fuels (energy)

University of Cambridge

A combined study at the nano-microscale on the phenomenon of phase change heat transfer in intentional transportation of high density energy (life)

Technische Universität Darmstadt

Collaborative Institutes

We have chosen the top research institutes in the world with good collaborative research achievements as partners.
