Research facilities

We have two student rooms located in the AR building (a large room and a small room). In the laboratory, a desk and a desktop computer are distributed to every student. There is a shared space in the large room, where we have coffee breaks and chat during our research.

In our laboratory, in addition to each desktop computer, we have high-speed computers (high-performance computers) that can perform large-scale calculations. CFD simulations for solving the Navier-Stokes equations and optimization calculations are performed using these high-speed computers.

In addition, our department has many unique experimental facilities. In our laboratory, we often use experimental tanks. Two-dimensional problems and related water wave experiments are conducted in a two-dimensional water tank (length 14m, width 0.3m, and depth 0.45m). Three-dimensional problems and ship motion experiments in waves are conducted in a towing tank (length 100m, width 7.8m, depth 4.35m). We also have a compact basin called AMOEBA that can generate arbitrary waves from all around 360 degrees.

In our laboratory, we are conducting world-leading research by making full use of high-performance computers and experimental facilities, in addition to the huge amount of knowledge related to problems in waves cultivated until now.
