The stability of thin plate able to execute translational or rotational vibration in a one dimensional narrow passage is studied, and critical flow rates are obtained theoretically. The effect of pivot point of rotational system is considered. In the case of single-degree-of-freedom rotational system, the pivot position greatly influences stability. Instability can occur when the passage is divergent in the case of translational vibration. When the pivot of rotational vibration is at the entrance of the passage, the region of negative fluid-dynamic damping can become very small, and flutter can hardly occur. When the pivot is at the slightly behind the center of the passage, the instability region can become large, and even if the passage shape is convergent, instability can occur.

An axisymmetric body in a cavitating narrow annular parallel passage attains the self-excited vibrations when the apparent passage formed by the cavitation bubbles becomes certain conditions. This paper presents experimental and analytical studies on the mechanism for such unstable vibrations. In order to examine the apparent passage, the cross-sections of the leakage flow containing the cavitation are observed in the one-dimensional leakage model. When the self-excited vibrations occur, the cavitation bubbles disappear in the vicinity of the exit. Relating these apparent passages to the annular passage, the fluid-dynamic forces acting on an axisymmetric body are investigated theoretically. The theoretical results show that the fluid-dynamic damping is negative when the unstable vibrations occur experimentally.
