We experimentally and numerically investigated large-scale structures formed by vortices in a single wafer spin cleaner. The Q-criterion identified the vortices developed in the cleaner as the flow regions with positive second invariant of the vel...

An inflatable decelerator is promising as a next-generation atmospheric-entry system owing to its reduced aerodynamic heating and high packing efficiency. In this study, a suborbital reentry demonstration of a flare-type thin-membrane aeroshell su...

The electrodynamic effect on the partially ionized flow around magnetized bodies was numerically investigated. In particular, the double-cone model was considered because, unlike a simple blunt-nosed model, it generates a complex flow including sh...

The magnetoaerodynamic force exerted on a magnetized model in a weakly ionized flow was investigated. In particular, the effects of the applied magnetic field's orientation with respect to the model axis were examined by rotating a spherical perma...
