Science and Engineering

We investigate multiphysics flows in thermal-fluid engineering through a combination of computational simulations and laboratory experiments, aiming to elucidate, predict, and control complex phenomena and to contribute to developing more efficient and reliable systems.

Flows in which fine-scale processes—such as condensation and evaporation—interact with one another are highly complex. Our laboratory targets such multiphysics flow phenomena, conducting research that spans from the development of simulation methodologies to the fundamental understanding, prediction, and control of these coupled processes.

Currently, we are advancing studies on aircraft icing, erosion, and deposition on wings and inside jet-engine components to enhance aircraft safety and performance, as well as research on improving heat transport efficiency in turbulent flows.
