Abstract
A technology is provided, capable of reducing the time required for the flow velocity of a laminar flow to stabilize, and of providing more finely responsive control. The present technology provides a control apparatus for controlling a flow velocity of a laminar flow, the apparatus including: a pressurization unit configured to pressurize a fluid that is to form the laminar flow; an air pressure measurement unit configured to measure a pressure applied to the fluid by the pressurization unit; a water pressure measurement unit configured to measure a water pressure of the fluid pressurized by the pressurization unit; and a control unit configured to control pressure force applied to the fluid by the pressurization unit on the basis of either the air pressure measured by the air pressure measurement unit or the water pressure measured by the water pressure measurement unit, wherein the control unit provides switching between control based on the air pressure measured by the air pressure measurement unit and control based on the water pressure measured by the water pressure measurement unit.
