Aero- Fluid Engineering Lab.

Next-Generation Aircraft by Numerical Simulation

Supervisor
Makoto SATO: Associate Professor

We investigate many topics on the thermal and fluid engineering by numerical simulations. Main research themes are “Flow control using plasma actuator”, “Mars aircraft”, “Low noise eVTOL”, “High performance truck”, “High efficiency wind turbine” and so on. Our research target is from the fundamental fluid and thermal phenomena to actual engineering applications. We hope that "Science (fundamental research)" and "Technology (engineering application)" would proceed with each other through numerical simulations.

Topics of research
  • Flow control using plasma actuator
  • Aerodynamics on Mars helicopter
  • Simulation and experiment on low noise eVTOL
