S004 新世紀の流体力学は何を目指すべきか

概要

論文の詳細を見る
At the beginning of the new century I present some possibility of selecting future subject of research in fluiddynamics, which have two faces. One, as a branch of physics, aims at the understanding of flow structure under various conditions. The essential part of the understanding rests on the nonlinearity of flow. In the past, simple flows have been investigated in detail. The future subject is how to combine these simple flows for understanding complicated flows. The other face of the fluiddynamics is the practical applications in various fields. The main stream of applied fluiddynamics has been considered to be in aeronautics. But no more. Fruitful applications in the future can be found in environmental problems, energy foods and other fields of social demands. I do not believe the report on the global temperature rise in the future. I propose some device of improving local ernvironment. Some prospect in energy, medicine and food problems in the future is also presented.
