Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is known that the flow field is induced by the temperature field in the microscale fluid field where the mean free path scale of the gas molecules is not negligible. This phenomenon called as rarefied gas flow is recently observed under the atmospheric pressure, and has gathered attention. In this research, we constructed a shape creation method of thermal-fluid metamaterials which has a peculiar characteristic of flow induction and negative thermal diffusion due the reverse phenomenon where the temperature difference appears due to the fluid flow, based on the topology optimization method. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied to the simple thermal-fluid metamaterial designs, and was confirmed that the proposed method can provide the structural designs that show the desired performance.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements
