JAXA (Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency) was established October 2003
as a public R&D organization for aerospace fields in Japan. The former
organizations merged into JAXA are NASDA (NAtional Space Development
Agency), NAL (National Aerospace Laboratory) and ISAS (Institute of
Space and Aeronautical Sciences). Now JAXA covers from practical
engineering development projects like satellite lauching to research
supportingthe projectsand basic research in sceience and engineering
related with aerospace technology, cosmology etc.
Institute of Serospace Technology conducts research activity mainly
in the field of aerospace engineering. Research on CFD and other
numerical simlulation is done minly in Computational Science Research
Group.
The lecture introduces the research activity in IAT of JAXA. The following
is introduced.
(1) simlulation for combustion phenomena
(2) simlulation for sound propagation and accoustic vibration
(3) large scale direct numerical simulation for turbulence
(4) applied mathematics and numerics
(5) computer and network architecture
