2. RESEARCH FIELDS
His fields are gas dynamics (especially, shock waves), cavitation bubble dynamics, physics of vapor-liquid interface, low Reynolds-number flows and multiphase flows. Concerning bubble dynamics, his article published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics (1980) is cited about 621 times (on 3 February 2024). As for the vapor-liquid interface, he published a book in 2011, “Vapor-Liquid Interfaces, Bubbles and Droplets, Springer-Verlag.” Physics of both planar and curved vapor-liquid interfaces is dealt with in an atomic or molecular level by means of molecular dynamics, molecular gas dynamics and shock tube experiment in this book.
