Kasagi has been involved in fundamental and applied research on
fluid mechanics and heat transfer. He started his research work with
investigation of wall turbulence structure, and then extended it to modeling
and large-scale numerical simulation of turbulent transport phenomena, control
of turbulent transport, two-phase flows with particles/cells/bubbles,
micro-scale thermal and fluid systems, micro cell processing, and
computer-aided visualization and image processing. He has also led projects on
high-temperature gas turbines, solid oxide fuel cells, micro heat exchangers,
and small-scale distributed energy systems. His recent work includes advanced
turbulence control, GT-SOFC hybrid energy systems, micro energy conversion, and
computational fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
Kasagi is an active member of Japan Society of Mechanical
Engineers (TED Chair, 2002-03; President Elect, 2005-06; President
2006-07; Honorary Member, 2013), American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (Fellow, 1994), Heat Transfer Society of Japan
(President, 2011-12; Honorary Member, 2013), Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics
(President, 1997-98), Japanese
Society of Multiphase Flow, AIAA,
APS, AAAS and so forth. He served as President of the Assembly of World
Conferences on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics
(2009-2013), President of JSME (2006-07), Chairman of JSME Committee on Engineering
Education (1996-98), President of Heat Transfer Society of Japan (2011-12),
President of Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics (1997-98), and President of Japan
Society of Computational Fluid Dynamics (2000-01). He worked as Vice-Chairman
(1995-97) and Chairman (1998-2001) of Nusselt-Reynolds Prize Board.
Kasagi
has committed himself to Editor-in-Chief of International
Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow (1993-2012), Editor of JSME
International Journal, Editorial Board Member for Experimental Heat Transfer,
Associate Editor of Fluid Dynamics Research, Advisory Editor of Journal of Flow Turbulence
and Combustion, Managing Editor of Journal of Flow Visualization,
Editorial Board Member of Journal of Flow Visualization and Image Processing,
and Advisory Board Member of e-Fluids.
He is and has been actively participating in organizing various
international meetings; e.g., International
Symposium on Turbulence and Shear Flow Phenomena (Founding Member),
International Symposium on Transport Phenomena, ECI Conference on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in
Microscale, ECI
Conference on Transport Phenomena in Micro and Nanodevices,
ASME/JSME Joint Thermal Engineering Conference, and International Workshop on
Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion
Applications (PowerMEMS).
He have served as a Review Panel Member for Swedish Research
Council, Australian Research Council, and U.S. National Research Council.
He is a recipient of JSME Medal for the Best Papers (1987, 1990,
2008, and 2010), GTSJ Best Paper Award (1988), JSME Thermal Engineering
Achievement Award (1993), Heat Transfer Society of Japan Award (2002), JSME
Fluids Engineering Award (2004), Fluid Science Award (2004), JSME Thermal
