Flow Control by Feedback

Viac o knihe

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.
