NSF-CGP Science and Engineering Fellows Program: Bluff Body Aerodynamics, Turbulent Wakes, and Boundary Layers

该提案支持锡拉丘兹大学机械、航空航天和制造工程系的Hiroshi Higuchi博士和宇宙航空航天科学研究所空间系统工程研究部的Motoki Hinada教授的合作。 项目资金将使Higuchi博士能够在日本宇航研究所居住四个月，以便研究与空间回收系统有关的流动-非流线体-相互作用问题。该项目有可能通过与日本研究小组的密切合作分享信息和共同取得技术进步，对空气动力学基础设施产生重要影响。 该提案汇集了来自两个国家在流体动力学领域工作的研究工程师。美国工程师将有机会熟悉ISAS的研究技术，数据，设备和设施，同时为整体研究工作做出贡献。此外，Higuchi的长期访问将有助于他与日本的一位领先研究人员建立个人和专业联系。 也希望这次访问将启动锡拉丘兹大学和ISAS之间的学者和学生交流的长期合作协议。 因此，该提案实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。

This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Hiroshi Higuchi of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering at Syracuse University and Professor Motoki Hinada of the Research Division for Space Systems Engineering at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). Project funding will enable Dr. Higuchi to spend four months in Japan, resident at ISAS, in order to study the flow-bluff-body interaction problem related to space recovery systems. The project has the potential to have an important influence on the infrastructure of aerodynamics through the sharing of information and joint technological advances arising from the close cooperation with the research group in Japan. This proposal brings together research engineers from two countries working in the area of fluid dynamics. The U.S. engineer will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques, data, equipment, and facilities at ISAS while contributing to the overall research effort. Additionally, the extended visit by Higuchi will help him to establish a personal and pr ofessional link with a leading researcher in Japan. It is also hoped that this visit will initiate a long term cooperative agreement for exchange of scholars and students between Syracuse University and ISAS. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration.
