During May 16–17, 2025, many members of our lab — Adel (D3), Pawat (D3), Chonlada (D2), Matsuo (D2), Fajirin (D1), Umino (M2), and Kitayama (M1) — attended the 28th Symposium on Applied Mechanics, held at Kyoto University’s Uji Campus. The Uji Campus is located about 25 minutes from Kyoto Station via the JR Nara Line. The symposium was organized by the Applied Mechanics Committee of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE).
The symposium was divided into five sessions:1st Physics, Mathematics, and Mechanics Problems, 2nd Computational Mechanics, 3rd Materials and Mechanics of Complex Phenomena, 4th Fluid Dynamics and 5th Applied Mathematical Problems.
All members of our lab gave oral presentations in the Fluid Dynamics session.
- Adel presented on “An unsteady drag model for a non-hydrostatic depth-integrated model simulating dam-break flow through rigid emergent vegetation.”
- Pawat presented on “The effect of initial channel width on alternate bar development.”
- Chonlada presented on “Numerical simulation of the effects of abrasion and weathering on bedrock river morphology under climate change.”
- Matsuo presented on “Improvement of the accuracy of the mean component acceleration method using mean component terms considering longitudinal distribution.”
- Fajirin presented on “Numerical simulation of flow over submerged vegetation.”
- Umino presented on “Fundamental study on numerical computation utilizing Physics-Informed AI.”
- Kitayama presented on “A study on the limiting acceleration factor in the mean component acceleration method.”
We received many valuable suggestions and had the opportunity to discuss our research with professors and students from other universities in Japan. Additionally, we had a great chance to learn about other research topics related to hydraulic engineering presented by participants from various institutions.
