About the Research
I conduct research on ships and propulsion systems. Ships are propelled by propellers; however, the hull, rudder, and other components interact, resulting in complex flow fields. Therefore, it is important to consider not only the propeller but the entire ship as an integrated propulsion system.
In our laboratory, we use experiments and numerical simulations to clarify the relationship between flow and efficiency, and develop innovative technologies for energy savings. We also study propeller cavitation, which causes noise and hull vibration.
A Message from Professor
Our department is one of the few programs in Japan dedicated to educating naval architects and ocean engineers, with a history of over 100 years. The importance of improving ship performance and advancing ocean development continues to grow, and students who study large-scale engineering here play active roles in the global maritime industry after graduation.
As a long-established program with a small class size, we offer a close-knit environment where students and faculty interact closely, and develop teamwork and initiative.
