  • Laminar-turbulence transition phenomena near the leading edge of a swept wing

    Laminar-turbulence transition phenomena near the leading edge of a swept wing

    When a commercial aircraft operates, about half of the total energy loss is due to the friction due to the viscosity of the air. Turbulent flow makes the friction increase, but 10% of the total energy loss can be reduced if the laminar flow can be maintained 50% on the wing.

  • Blood flow analysis in a left ventricle

    Blood flow analysis in a left ventricle

    The thrombus formation has been assumed not to occur in a left ventricle, which works as a pump sending a blood to a circulatory system, because of its high blood flow velocity. However, resent studies indicated the thrombus formation might occur in the left ventricle.

  • Elucidation and Control of the molecular mechanism that determines thermal conductivity of heat medium

    Elucidation and Control of the molecular mechanism that determines thermal conductivity of heat medium

    Modern industrial products, typified by electronic devices, are required to be supported by advanced thermal management such as control of heat generation and dissipation, and correspondingly there is a demand for the technology that enables us to customize precisely the properties of heat medium based on the molecular aspect.
