SPORTS ENGINEERING
Aerodynamics of golf ball with grooves
: To investigate the effect of the groove structures on the aerodynamic performance and develop a new golf ball

Magnus/Inverse Magnus effect

Aerodynamics of ski jumping
: To investigate the key parameters in ski-jump posture in order to enhance the aerodynamic performance during flight

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Heart Valve
: To investigate the valve dysfunction due to pannus formation despite no direct contact between the pannus and the leaflets

Coronary arteries
: To investigate the effects of vascular structures or the shape of stenosis on the pressure drops across a coronary stenosis

Airways

CFD & INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
Bio-mimetic flow control for drag reduction on a vehicle

- AMD lift responding to reversed flow
- Separation delayed up to trailing edge of AMD
- Recirculation core(low pressure region) move away, and two longitudinal vortices was attenuated by AMD
- Base pressure is recovered  drag reduction drag reduction
