The selection and placement of actuators and sensors to control compressible viscous flows is addressed by developing a novel methodology based upon the eigensystem structural sensitivity of the linearized evolution operator appropriate for linear feedback control. Forward and adjoint global modes are used to construct a space of possible perturbations to the linearized operator, which yields a small optimization problem for selecting the parameters that best achieve the control objective…

Reduced-order control using low-rank dynamic mode decomposition

LrDMD stabilizes the Ginzburg–Landau system with a lower- order controller and is able to suppress vortex shedding from an inclined flat plate at a cost lower than either DMD or OMD, and yields an improved estimate of the adjoint system, for a given rank, relative to DMD and OMD.

DNS-based predictive control of turbulence: an optimal benchmark for feedback algorithms

To achieve flow relaminarization in the predictive control approach, it is shown that it is necessary to optimize the controls over a sufficiently long prediction horizon T+ [gsim], which represents a further step towards the determination of optimally effective yet implementable control strategies for the mitigation or enhancement of the consequential effects of turbulence.
