Announcement of Symposium on Smart Control of Turbulence
DATE
December 2-3, 1999
1. Background of the Symposium
At present, three national research institutes carry out a study on Smart Control of Turbulence (Study for Open and Integrated Research Program by the Science and Technology Agency for FY 1999, Executive Manager: Hideo Ohashi, President, Kogakuin University, Steering Committee Chair: Nobuhide Kasagi, Professor, The University of Tokyo).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the possibility of smart turbulence control, which should lead to tremendous technological impacts such as drag reduction and enhancement in combustion and heat transfer, by developing highly intelligent fluid-dynamic devices with new functions. This interdisciplinary research target can be fulfilled by the unique collaboration between three national laboratories, namely, NAL (National Aerospace Laboratory, Science and Technology Agency), MEL (Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, MITI), and SRI (Ship Research Institute, Ministry of Transport), each of which over the years has been playing a primary role in the R&D studies on numerical simulation of turbulence, MEMS technology, and functionalization of fluids, respectively. Leading scientists at several top universities will also join and help with this project, which aims at starting a full-size project in the next fiscal year.
2. About the Symposium
In this Symposium, invited speakers will give overviews on the recent study of smart control of turbulence and the speakers of the each research institutes will present following research targets: (1) conceptual design of micro devices for active feedback control of turbulence, (2) in-depth study on the role of turbulence in combustion and its possible control, (3) in-depth study on the turbulence modification mechanisms with mechano-chemical functionalization of fluids (surfactants, micro bubbles, ... etc.), and (4) large-scale numerical simulation of shear flow turbulence, turbulence combustion, and turbulence control mechanisms.
