A coordinated set of experimental research projects on flow control is being conducted by a team with experience in fluid mechanics and automatic control. The primary objective of this work is to develop new ways to control flows of technical interest and a generic approach to the design of flow control systems. Included are studies of mixing enhancement by excitation of jets, active control of unsteady turbulent boundary layers and separated flows, and active control of the vortical flow over delta wings using leading-edge blowing. Keywords: Boundary layer control, Flow control, Turbulent mixing, Unsteady boundary layers, Separated flow, Delta wings. (EDC).

Master the theory, applications and control mechanisms of flow control techniques.

This accessible book pioneers feedback concepts for control mixing. It reviews research results appearing over the last decade, and contains control designs for stabilization of channel, pipe and bluff body flows, as well as control designs for the opposite problem of mixing enhancement.

This monograph presents the state of the art of theory and applications in fluid flow control, assembling contributions by leading experts in the field. The book covers a wide range of recent topics including vortex based control algorithms, incompressible turbulent boundary layers, aerodynamic flow control, control of mixing and reactive flow processes or nonlinear modeling and control of combustion dynamics.

This volume contributes to one of the most important topics of Fluid Mechanics in future and presents recent research results on control theory and applied control methods. Understanding and handling of control methods of nonlinear systems, typical of Fluid Mechanics, is the key to reduce losses and to improve the efficiency and safety of technical processes.

This volume contains articles based on lectures given at the Workshop on Transition and Turbulence Control, hosted by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, 8OCo10 December 2004. The lecturers included 13 of the worldOCOs foremost experts in the control of transitioning and turbulent flows. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects in the broad area of flow control, and will be useful to researchers working in this area in academia, government laboratories and industry. The coverage includes control theory, passive, active and reactive methods for controlling transitional and turbulent wall-bounded flows, noise suppression and mixing enhancement of supersonic turbulent jets, compliant coatings, modern flow diagnostic systems, and swept wing instabilities."
