معرفی
Takuya Terahara is an Assistant Professor at the Green Computing Systems Research Organization, affiliated with the School of Creative Science and Engineering. His research focuses on computational mechanics, fluid-structure interaction (FSI), and isogeometric analysis with applications in biomedical engineering (heart valves, aorta flow), aerospace systems (parachutes), and automotive aerodynamics (tire flows).
His work combines T-splines and space-time methods to address challenges in contact mechanics, boundary layer representation, and multi-scale flow dynamics. Notable projects include modeling red blood cell deformation, heart valve FSI with leaflet contact, and spacecraft parachute structural analysis.
Research trends highlight his expertise in integrating isogeometric discretization with lattice Boltzmann methods, boundary element analysis, and slip interface techniques. His computational frameworks enable high-fidelity simulations of complex systems requiring continuity, smoothness, and contact representation.
Terahara has received research grants from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), including projects on local mesh refinement for flow analysis (2020-2022) and fluid-structure interaction for heart valves (2017-2020).
