Fluid Power and Fluid Application Laboratory

Applying various fluid properties and capabilities to the engineering field

We research applications of various fluid properties and capabilities, such as in chemical reactions, power generation using fluid power, or for transporting heat or substances. We also conduct basic research on the mechanical properties of highly viscous fluids and aerosols (the colloidal suspension of particles in air or gas). Through our research and development in environment- and energy-related areas, we aim to develop technologies that can be widely used in society.
