| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study, is to develop a novel drag reduction method in fluid mechanics by using a plasma actuator. The shape morphing technique is a kind of flow control which basically transforms its body shape by the functional or the soft materials. Our “flow morphing” is to directly change the flow around bluff body by using plasma jet or a counter type plasma jet. It is succeeded that drag reduction of a circular disk by two type of vortex structure generated by flow morphing. The reduction mechanics was explained by flow visualization and numerical simulation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で創発したフローモーフィング技術により，例が少ない鈍頭物体の円板の抵抗低減が行えたことは流体工学，とくに流れの制御の分野で学術的に大きな成果である．また鈍頭物体は車両や建築構造物に多く見られるので工学的な応用も広い．当初の目標とした低いレイノルズ数Re=5,000で抵抗低減の効果が得られたことは，低速走行中の自動車の燃費向上や，自然風によって生じる建築構造物の抵抗低減などにも応用でき，かつアクティブな流れ制御法として期待できる．
