I have been influenced strongly by his method of research for 20-plus years. My supervisor was a specialist in turbulence research and laboratory experiments.
I entered the department of chemical engineering and chose to join the fluid mechanics lab when I was an undergraduate. How did you come to choose turbulence as your area of study?Ī. And I decided to become an engineer because I believe that in our world, inspiration-based thinking will help us. When I was a high school student and a university undergraduate, I loved math. How did you become interested in engineering?Ī. We recently interviewed Nagaosa about his research and his use of Tecplot 360 software. In his view, this is the role of the engineer. It is Nagaosa’s belief that “inspirational-based thinking” will help us understand turbulence dynamics. He uses the software as a communication tool for risk assessment of hazardous materials leakages in a closed space, and also to show the spread of the hazardous gases in our residential space. For more than 15 years he has used Tecplot 360 software, a numerical simulation and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) visualization tool that creates state-of-the-art visual reproductions to quickly make sense of vast amounts of complex information. He also was a visiting scientist at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, a nonprofit climate and environmental research foundation affiliated with the University of Bergen, Norway.Įarly in his career, Nagaosa chose computational techniques as his preferred method for evaluating environmental fluid mechanics. Nagaosa also serves as a senior research scientist at the Research Center for Compact Chemical System, AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.

When I was invited to be a guest scientist at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, we enjoyed several observations of the structures of turbulent vortices based on our numerical experiments.
