Flow Control by Feedback

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of control theory and fluid mechanics, this research monograph addresses the challenges of flow control, particularly in turbulent flows, which remain a significant unsolved problem in physics. The excitement surrounding this field is fueled by advancements in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) that allow for precise instrumentation of fluid dynamics. The book uniquely emphasizes the need for control algorithms that provide provable performance guarantees, making it a pioneering work in systematic feedback design for fluid flows.
