Several new and interesting examples of Anosov flows on 3-manifolds have been found recently. In [2], Handel and Thurston give the first examples of non-algebraic Anosov flows. In their construction a geodesic flow is cut apart along an incompressible torus and reglued with a Dehn twist, preserving an Anosov structure, but the resulting manifold is neither an Sl-bundle or a torus-bundle over Sl. It is a graph manifold, and the flow is volume-preserving. Franks and Williams [1] have recently given an example of an Anosov flow which is not volume-preserving; hence, also not algebraic. The manifold is two copies of the complement of the figure eight knot, identified along the boundary torus. Each piece has a hyperbolic structure, but not the entire manifold.In this paper, we produce more new examples of closed 3-manifolds which support Anosov flows. This is accomplished by doing a Dehn surgery, preserving longitudes, on a neighborhood of a periodic orbit of any Anosov flow. Many of these examples are also non-algebraic. Further, some of the manifolds produced are hyperbolic, and hence atoroidal, answering a question posed in[2].
