Welcome to Keio Univ. Fukagata Laboratory!†

Fukagata laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Keio University, is a relatively new (?) laboratory, born in 2007.

Our research interests are numerical simulation and mathematical modeling of complex heat and fluid flow phenomena including turbulent flows and development of advanced control methods for such flow phenomena. The research area is being expanded toward establishment of design methodology for thermo-fluids systems by integrating control theories, optimization methods, machine learning, and large-scale flow simulation techniques.
