Optical diagnostics of complicated flow phenomena and development of the actuators for flow control

Using laser diagnostic techniques and molecular sensors, we study complicated phenomena of micro- and macro-scale flows appearing in various flow devices, for example, MEMS devices, air-breathing engines, and so on. We also develop the methods of active flow control.

-Study on phenomena peculiar to high-speed microflows and their engineering applications
-Development of molecular sensor for measuring high-speed unsteady flows
-Study on active flow control with high-frequency momentum addition
-Development of microjet actuators oscillating at high frequencies
