For undergraduate students and international students
Message
Laboratory for Flow Control (LFC) consist of the members with very different backgrounds. Some of them are really excellence in GPA earned in undergraduate course. Others have rich experiences of jobs and sports. We welcome both types of students because they begin to show their own individual skills once they started research which is always difficult to achieve goals. Since LFC mainly deals with experiment on fluid mechanics, we are forced to practice our five senses in front of experimental devices, not only using our brains. The lowest energy theorem does not stand in conducting experimental research. We rather expect actions that seems to be superficially ineffective, because taking various attempts can lead to unexpected new findings and inspiration for novel developments.
LFC members are always challenging to advance of fluid mechanics that have history of centuries but so many unsolved problems in our generation. We are facing to different needs in research of fluid mechanics such as energy, food, and resources. The students feel a certain responsibility in doing their research to meet these requirements. Besides, we always allow them to keep a playing-mind which can create originality. Thus, iteration of failures is rather highly evaluated. It is the research done in university without strict care for cost performance. In fact, LFC also weights on fundamental science of flow phenomena, directly irrelevant to industrial demands. It will contribute to opening of new chapter in fluid mechanics. LFC members spend their days and nights for constructing original experimental devices that can prove various hypothesis they propose.
