Research Contents
- The interest our group covers a very wide range of fluid mechanics.
- In particular, our attention is focused on the stability of fluid flow.
- Instability of fluid flow accompanies a break in flow pattern symmetry.
- Oscillatory fluid motion may also occur as a result of flow instability.
- We can control such oscillatory fluid motion and a flow patten if the theory of flow stability is appropriately applied.
- Oscillation can also be intentionally induced in a flow by applying the knowledge of the flow stability.
