Professor
NOZAKI, Osamu

Doctor of Engineering, The University of Tokyo

Areas of specialization Aeropropulsion, Gas Turbine, Turbomachiney, Aerodynamics
Laboratory/research office Aeronautical Propulsion and Supersonic Flow Laboratory
We perform a study aerodynamics, propulsion and thermofluids to improve the safety and energy saving of aeroplanes. We also study the internal flows of gas turbine engines which propell airplanes　and the drag reduction of vehicles. Further, we try contributing to the development of aerospace engineering by the numerical study on supersonic fluid dynamics.
