This laboratory was established in April 2023 as one of the laboratories in the social collaboration course “Next-generation Numerical Simulations in Construction.” The course was established with the objective of “conducting research and development of next-generation numerical simulation technology applicable to the architectural field as well as its social implementation”. The course consists of three majors: architecture, systems innovation, and civil engineering. In addition to Associate Professor Koyama, Professor Noguchi and Associate Professor Itoi (who jointly recruit graduate thesis students) are also involved from the Department of Architecture. In this laboratory, we conduct research and education focusing on the particle method (MPS method) that can be applied to the numerical analysis of fluids such as water as well as other next-generation advanced numerical simulation technology.
