After a brief introduction on the range of current research areas where
fluid dynamics is involved, I will discuss some of the work going on in
our group. Some instabilities, in convergent-divergent flows, in vortex
flows etc. will be described, and if time permits, a description of our
work on the hydraulic jump.
