Abstract:
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in the modeling and control
of transitional and turbulent shear flows, with particular emphasis
on mixing applications. The review is divided into two parts. The
first part provides a literature survey of analytical and experimental
approaches to the modeling and control of mixing in shear flows. The
second part presents some recent results in the development of reduced-order
models and model-based control of mixing in some prototypical shear
flow problems.

Abstract:
Effects of time-dependent forcing on the flow induced by a single vortex
in a corner are studied. The objective of forcing is to maximize flux
across the separating streamline in the flow while keeping the position
of the vortex bounded within a prescribed domain. Concepts of chaotic
advection andflat coordinates is employed to prove controllability
using various actuation methods. Flat coordinates also alleviate the
search for the optimal (flux-maximizing) vortex trajectory. A feedback
law is designed to control theory are used to achieve this goal. Transformation
into stabilize this trajectory. Mixing in the optimized flow is studied.

Abstract:
There are a number of essential ingredients which must be brought together
in order to develop a model-based control theory of boundary flows.
In any such theory, models of fluid dynamics must (i) be simple enough
to run in real-time, and (ii) be able to capture the physics of control
actuator interaction with the fluid. Active vortex generators are
one interesting candidate class of actuators which may be used together
with vortex models or panel methods to broaden our understanding of
flow separation control in various applications settings. While these
methods offer the hope of modeling the essential aspects of the boundary
flows with reasonable fidelity, their use in applications will require
new (hybrid model based) approaches to simulation and control.

Abstract:
The paper outlines an effort to develop moderate dimensional computational
models of the shear instability and subsequent highly nonlinear vortex
dynamics that occur in a planar diffuser. The ultimate goal is to use
the model for testing and synthesis of a non-traditional approach to
control that works by triggering instabilities rather than suppressing
them. The models appear to capture many of the essential dynamical
features, although quantitative discrepancies still need to be resolved.

Abstract:
We present a framework for developing a robust feedback controller
to optimize the mixing characteristics associated with the actively
driven jet in crossflow. We form a preliminary controller with a feed-forward
loop, based on a look-up table constructed by searching the parameter
space for the combination of quantities that produce optimal mixing
for given crossflow conditions. This architecture has been selected
to allow for the parallel effort of: 1) modeling and controlling the
mean effect of the vortical structures on the mixing characteristics
of the transverse jet, and 2) developing feasible controllers based
on sensor and actuator dynamics. Furthermore, this architecture can
be easily augmented with feedback loops to control the dynamics of
plant, sensors and actuators. Preliminary results regarding modeling
and identification of the actuator dynamics are presented.
