Abstract
Flows in nature are generally coupled with the environment. Also, flow structures in the forms of convection rolls, vortices, boundary layers, for example, are often coupled with flow structures in other form(s) as well as the external environments such as the boundary motion and the temperature gradient. Whole flow structure in such cases is often characterized by multi-scale or hierarchy, therefore, we will term such flow structures “global flow structure”. Clearly, the global flow structure is complex in both space and scales, but there are general viewpoints applicable to this category of the flow, by which we can tackle with new phenomena. In this review, we discuss the global flow structure in both views of typical problems and analysis methods itself.
