Research Interests
Professor Sakaue's research interests focus in two areas: luminescent imaging and chemical flow control. The targets of this research are in fluid dynamics, flow control, green energy, and biomedical applications. Representative one in the luminescent imaging is the pressure- and temperature-sensitive paint technique. It involves a wide range of research topics from chemical sensor developments, optical characterizations, and unsteady flow applications in various flow regimes. The chemical flow control is currently focused on chemical coating developments for anti- and de-icing applications.
