Our 21st Century COE has imparted our creative proposals to the world. Our ideas include a supersonic biplane that does not generate a shock wave and an aero-train as a high-speed vehicle of the future. Our achievements have been publicized to the world by systematically establishing academic principles in nano-mega flow dynamics, and publishing them as a lecture series in English. Additionally, we have established an international education and research network through the international collaborative research and training programs of our 21st Century COE.
| Research Achievements | Papers in refereed journals: 695 Presentations at international conferences: 340 Establishment of academic principles such as Slow Dynamics in Complex System and Water Dynamics Development of an Aero-Train and research into a diamond nano-slider |
|---|---|
| International Conferences and Symposia | We have hosted an International Conference on Flow Dynamics, Liaison Office Meetings, International Conferences organized by our students, Workshops, International Conferences on Slow Dynamics, etc. |
| Publication of COE Lecture Series | The series consists of 13 volumes. Volumes 9 through 13 establish the academic principles in nano- mega flow dynamics. |
The goal of our Global COE is to establish an international center of education and research in flow dynamics by investigating and practicing new flow dynamics as well as by integrating flow dynamics and amalgamating knowledge in different fields. In particular, we aim to establish new multi-disciplinary academic fields, including trans-disciplinary informatics flow dynamics, trans-disciplinary reacting flow dynamics, trans-disciplinary nano-flow dynamics, and trans-disciplinary advanced flow dynamics. Moreover, we strive to create an innovative science and technology field that continually cultivates creative people through multiple international collaborative Frontier Research Projects. Some of our other goals are to have our Ph.D. students and young researchers extensively involved in these research projects and to train them to form the core of the international community in flow dynamics. Thereby, our graduates will help solve various issues facing mankind as well as ensure a safe and peaceful advanced society in the 21st century.
We will be collaborating with JAXA and JAEA on frontier research projects, including the supersonic biplane project and the risk management project for nuclear reactors. By positively promoting personnel exchanges and student dispatches with these research institutes, we will build an education and research system that is in line with the national directives in the science and technology strategy.
