Research Overview
The large-scale flows around us exhibit complex motions, called turbulent flows. Turbulence is widely observed in breath, indoor air circulation, atmospheric flows, and oceanic flows. Furthermore, flows of melted iron in the outer core of the Earth and plasma on the surface of the Sun are also turbulent flows. To predict such complex flows, we need models that represent the statistical properties of flows involving strong fluctuations. The research developing the model is referred to as turbulence modeling. My research aims to sophisticate the turbulence modeling from the physical point of view.
