  • Design optimization of vortex generatiors for aircraft

    Design optimization of vortex generatiors for aircraft

    Wing oscillation, which has harmful effects on safe and comfortable flight, appears when an aircraft encounters disturbances such as air turbulence and wind gusts. An array of small vanes is often employed as vortex generators (VGs) and equipped ...

  • Effect of the design of imtracranial stent on blood flow in a cerebral aneurysm

    Effect of the design of imtracranial stent on blood flow in a cerebral aneurysm

    Intracranial stent (ICS) placement for a cerebral aneurysm is one of the hot-topics in endovascular treatment, because the treatment is less invasive. One such stent has been commercialized and is covered by health insurance in Japan in 2010...

  • Three-dimensional numerical simulations of core collapse supernovae

    Three-dimensional numerical simulations of core collapse supernovae

    Suddenly brightening in the sky and darkening within a few days, core collapse supernovae are explosions of massive stars in the final stage of life. The mechanism of the explosion is not completely understood, although a supernova explosion is a very important...
