Understanding flow and sound through large-scale computations

Yokoyama Hiroshi

Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

In a research collaboration between a research group led by Professor Hiroshi Yokoyama of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and KOBE STEEL, LTD., flow and acoustic fields in an expanding pipe with orifice plates were studied using a computational methodology developed by Prof. Yokoyama's group. The flow fields, including the various vortical structures and generated acoustic fields, were explained for the first time.
