Yuto Otoguro is an Associate Professor (non-tenure-track) at Waseda University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, Department of Modern Mechanical Engineering, and also serves as a Researcher at the Institute for Frontier Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis. He earned his PhD, M.Eng, and B.Eng in Modern Mechanical Engineering from Waseda University in 2018, 2016, and 2014 respectively. His academic career focuses on advanced computational methods for fluid dynamics and structural mechanics.
Dr. Otoguro's primary research interests lie in Fluid Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). His work centers on developing and applying space-time computational methods with isogeometric discretization for complex flow problems. He has made significant contributions to element length calculation in B-spline and T-spline meshes, stabilization parameters for variational multiscale methods, and general-purpose NURBS mesh generation techniques for complex geometries. His research has important applications in turbomachinery, wind turbine analysis, fluid-structure interaction, and computational aerodynamics.
His publication record shows a strong focus on computational methods development, with particular emphasis on isogeometric analysis applications. His work on local-length-scale calculation in complex geometries, hyperelastic shell models, and space-time computational flow analysis represents cutting-edge research in computational mechanics. His papers frequently address challenges in representing complex geometries and handling moving boundaries in fluid flow simulations.
Among his scientific achievements, Dr. Otoguro received the JSCES 20th Anniversary Scholarship Award. He has been actively involved in research projects including 'On new developments of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) for highly accurate and efficient fracture mechanics analysis' funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and 'Compressible-flow engine-valve analysis with response motion and contact' as part of the Early-Career Scientists program.
As an educator, Dr. Otoguro teaches multiple courses at Waseda University including Fluid Dynamics, Engineering Thermodynamics, Material Mechanics, and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory courses. He has also organized workshops on isogeometric analysis to promote this emerging computational method within Japan's research community. His academic service includes participation in the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling (T*AFSM), where he contributes to advancing computational methods for fluid-structure interaction problems.
