Abstract

A flow path structure includes a wall surface in which a flow path is formed, a structure configured to extend in a direction intersecting a main stream direction of a fluid flowing through the flow path from the wall surface, and a concave section forming region formed throughout a range including the structure in the main stream direction and having a concave section formed in the wall surface. As the structure occupies a partial range of the flow path in the flow path cross section intersecting the main stream, a cross-sectional area of the flow path is varied in accordance with positional variation in the main stream direction.
