ABOUT AMS

The essence of science is to derive principles from observations, thus revealing simple structures behind what appears to be a complex phenomenon. Mathematical sciences, in particular, use mathematical approaches to investigate "mathematical models", which are derived experimentally. The modern frontier of mathematical sciences considers various new mathematical models including those for biological and social phenomena, in addition to more traditional ones in natural sciences. These models are investigated through analytical approaches as well as numerical simulations for understanding of the phenomena. The knowledge thus obtained is employed to develop innovative technologies or to predict the future, while new methodologies are devised for deeper understanding of phenomena. Our department pays particular attention to large scale and/or highly non-linear complex phenomena in its research and education. Particularly in education, we aim at providing students with both scientific viewpoints which help them understand principles as well as engineering viewpoints which are useful in solving real problems in manufacturing. These double viewpoints will give students comprehensive perspectives over science and engineering in mathematical sciences. We look forward to ambitious applicants interested in advanced mathematical sciences.

Computer simulations provide powerful means of solving various problems in science and engineering. Computational mechanics is one of such approaches which, along with theoretical and experimental mechanics, investigates mechanical phenomena efficiently. This division develops various approaches of the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM), which is one of major techniques of computational mechanics and is considered suitable for the analyses of phenomena such as waves, fracture, etc. We are currently interested in fast BIEMs and their applications to large scale problems.

 TAGUCHI Satoshi, D.Eng.(Kyoto Univ.),
 Fluid Dynamics, Non-equilibrium Gas Dynamics, Kinetic Theory

Assistant Professor
 TSUJI Tetsuro, D.Eng.(Kyoto Univ.),
 Micro and Nano Flows, Kinetic Theory of Gases, Non-equilibrium Phenomena

Our main research interest is to clarify the behavior of non-equilibrium gas flows and to establish theories to describe them. Through theoretical and/or computational investigations applied to kinetic equations, describing the statistical behavior of many particles, we elaborate new continuum theories applicable to non-equilibrium flows. We also derive and construct related mathematical models for non-equilibrium flows and clarify the relations between various fluid models.
