We are developing hydroturbinesto match various water resources, and studying to improve the performance of turbines by experiment and CFD simulation. We also conduct feasibility studies to improve the durability of eco-friendly turbines and their power generation ability by a mini grid of connected multiple turbines.The graduates are active in various fields in Japan and abroad; engineers for R&D section in pumps, turbines, automotive, energy, plant, electron companies. academic researchers and governmental officials.ShouichiroIioAssociate ProfessorResearch fields: Fluid machinery, Eco-friendly hydraulic turbine, Water hydraulics, Flow control, Jet flow, Pneumatics.『Eco-Friendly Hydraulic Turbine』〜For Small hydro power In the FutureAfter GraduationMechanical Systems EngineeringNakamuraLabDesigningmachinesandsystemsistheprocessinwhichmanytypesofknowledgeinthefieldsofmaterialproperties,mechanicsofmaterials,environmentalconsciousnessanddesignmethodsaresynthesized.Optimaldesignisessentialforachievinghighefficiencyandperformanceofmachines,savingcosts,andreducingenergyconsumption.Sustainabledesignisneededfortheentireprocessfrommanufacturetousage,disposal,andreuseofmaterialsincludingmaintenances.Inourlaboratory,weareactivelyworkingtodevelopoptimizationtechniques,optimaldesignsforX,andsustainabledesignprocessesinthefieldsofmechanicalengineeringandengineeringoptics.Optimizationtechniqueisatechnologyessentialforutilizingenergyandresourcesefficiently.Andenvironmentally-friendlydesignpromotedallovertheworldandmodel-baseddevelopmentusingultra-high-speedcomputersareessentialforsuchefficientdevelopmentandtheywillalsoconservetheglobalenvironmentandensuresafety.MasayukiNakamuraProfessorResearch filed: Design Eng., Computational Mechanics.
