Advancement of Shock Capturing Computational Fluid Dynamics Methods

Autorenportrait

Keiichi Kitamura is an Associate Professor at Yokohama National University. His work focuses on developing numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics for high-speed, low-speed, and multiphase/supercritical/MHD flows, and he has proposed numerical flux functions, e.g., SLAU2 and Post Limiter. He received his doctor of engineering from Nagoya University in 2008. After serving as a postdoctoral researcher at JAXA and Glenn Research Center, NASA, he was appointed an Assistant Professor at Nagoya University in 2012. Since 2014, he has served in his current position. He was honored with young researcher awards by the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences in 2012, by the Society for Promotion of Space Science in 2018, and by the Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics in 2018. He was also awarded the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (The Young Scientists Prize) in Japan, andthe Frontier Commendation from Fluids Engineering Division, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, both in 2019.
