Project Schedule｜Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program for Vitalizing Brain Circulation｜Strategic International Multiple Collaborative Research Project on Advanced Basic Fluid Science to Support Life and Energy

ResearchersAssistant Professor Makoto Hirota

Schedule:July 2014 - August 2015

Collaborative Institute:University of Texas at Austin（Energy, Complex flow analytics）

Collaborative Researcher:Philip J. Morrison Professor

Research Field:Complex Flow Research Division Computational Fluid Physics Laboratory

Research Topics:
This study focuses on a model of complex fluids incorporating Hamilton mechanics, and investigates stability discrimination and non-stable modes by constructing a new method for solving variation problems and developing an efficient algorithm. It also applies this to electromagnetic fluids and two fluid plasma flows, showing a law of flow.

ResearchersAssistant Professor Daisuke Yoshino

Schedule:October 2014 - July 2015

Collaborative Institute:National University of Singapore（Life, Advanced medicine）

Collaborative Researcher:Chwee Tech Lim Professor

Research Field:Nanoscale Flow Resear Biological Nanoscale Reactive Flow Laboratory

Research Topics:
This study shows cellular response mechanisms to physical stimulus that lead to the manifestation of proteins and gene cluster expression, and cellular morphological responses to physical stimulation, such as in hemodynamics. It also investigates pathogenic mechanisms for cardiovascular disease on a cellular/protein level.

ResearchersAssistant Professor Akihiro Hayakawa

Schedule:September 2014 - March 2016

Collaborative Institute:University of Cambridge（Energy, Next generation fuels）

Collaborative Researcher:Simone Hochgreb Professor

Research Field:Complex Flow Research Division High Speed Reacting Flow Laboratory

Research Topics:
This study shows the laminar flow of next generation fuels and the flame structure of turbulent flames. It also investigates the influential factors of the by-products that their combustion creates and the change in flame structure due to hydrogenated combustion intensification, while examining the phenomenon of the turbulent combustion and improvement of chemical reaction mechanisms.
