报告人简介：

Professor Ichiro Kimura is an expert on computational modeling of turbulent open channel flows. He developed 2nd and 3rd order non-linear RANS models for 2D and 3D flow fields and applied them to various flow phenomena. He also worked on development of an advanced depth-averaged shallow flow models with effects of secondary currents as well as an-isotropy of turbulence. In the field of river morphology, he has experiences in both computational and experimental works. He worked as a faculty member in Wakayama National College of Technology, Yokkaichi University and Matsue National College of Technology before he became the associate professor in Hokkaido University.

报告内容摘要:

First, I introduce iRIC project, which is international flamework for developing free softwares to analyze various phenomena in rivers. And then, I introduce two examples of applications. One is on the secondary current of the second kind in open channel flows. And the other is analysis of driftwood in rivers.
