To lead the continuous development of fluid sciences and technologies which is the foundation for the sustainable development of human society in harmony with the global environment, the AFI Research Center introduced a new system called the “Next Generation Integrated Research System (AFI-NITY II)” in August 2024, a distributed memory parallel computing system based on HPE CRAY XD2000. The center carries out research on advanced fluid information from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives, targeting not only fluid flow, but also the flow of heat, energy, electromagnetic waves and information. By analyzing complex flow fields using next-generation integrated research methods that directly link to experimental equipment and integrate experiments and calculations, as well as large-scale numerical calculations, and by performing advanced visualization and data mining of the vast amounts of obtained fluid information, we elucidate previously unknown complex flow phenomena and develop control mechanisms and design methods for various flow phenomena that will lead to the sustainable development of human society.
As an international hub for advanced fluid information research, the AFI Research Center has been organizing international symposiums on advanced fluid information every year since 2001 and is actively promoting collaborative research projects with domestic and overseas universities and enterprises.
Through the particular development of the Integrated Flow Science, the research center will also contribute to the training of researchers and engineers with the goal of international expansion of the research results and development.
We look forward to your continued support of the activities of the AFI Research Center.
