Features: This book primarily studies two typical open-channel flows dominated by vortices, namely the stability, dynamics, and vortex control of near-trail vortices of a cylinder and twisted vortices. The book introduces the new developments in this field over the past two decades. The book is divided into 7 chapters: (1) Introduction to Flow Stability, (2) Absolute and Convective Instability, (3) Evolution Mechanism of Vortex Structures in the Near-Trail of a Stationary Cylinder, (4) Flow Around a Vibrating Cylinder and Vortex Control, (5) Stability Analysis of Twisted Vortices, (6) Instability of Vortices in Strain Rate Fields, (7) Nonlinear Performance of Twisted Jets. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, engineers, and graduate students engaged in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics.
