Hiroshima University research shows that a portable heart monitoring device can detect fetal distress earlier and sharply improve newborn survival rates in low-resource environments.
The University of Osaka
17 Dec 2025
A joint team from UOsaka has uncovered the core principles of the loss maximization in rotor-driven gas-liquid two-phase flows. Performing numerical simulations on the supercomputer "SQUID", they identified the causes as direct collisions between the rotor and the liquid surface and pressure imbalances around the rotor. The findings suggest that, in a resonant state, the enhanced fluid motion is drawn toward the front of the rotor, and the flow instability is intensified behind it.
